Casemaker Adds Unpublished Opinions
Casemaker, the Bar's online legal research service, now has added 3JX opinions by the Supreme Court and selected superior court opinions that judges elect to post. These opinions are in an "Unpublished Opinions" category. Users can choose whether to include or exclude them from case law searches.

Are you a regular Casemaker user? Want to know more? Drop by the Annual Meeting on Friday, June 21, for live, in-person demonstrations of "Casemaker Tips and Tricks" by Casemaker's Jim Corbett from 2 to 4 p.m. (These are free, informal mini-demos and will not be for CLE credit.) Stay for the free New Lawyers Committee reception, too! Corbett will also be on hand on Saturday, June 22, from 9 to 11 a.m. for informal demonstrations and conversation.

And... the NH Bar Legal Research Users Group is scheduled to meet again at 3 p.m. on Monday, July 1. Contact Lisha Brosseau if you are interested in participating in our review of the Bar's legal research offerings.
