Search the 2011 Connecticut Public Acts 06/28/2011
When you use the Connecticut Law Search Engine, you'll now see a tab for the 2011 public acts. Add Comment Refining Your Search - Court Decisions 12/17/2010
I recently added a Connecticut Superior Court Decisions refinement to the Connecticut Law Search Engine. There are now two refinements for Connecticut opinions, including the new refinement and a Connecticut Supreme and Appellate Opinions refinement. After you do a keyword search, tabs (refinements) above the results should appear. You can click on these tabs to filter your results. One thing to remember is that if you clicked on a refinement and then do a new keyword search, you will only be searching within that refinement. To get the full search engine results back, remember to click on the "All" tab. What's Not Online For Free? 10/25/2010
I wrote the short article below. It appeared in the October 2010 Obiter Dicta, the Southern New England Law Librarians Association newsletter. In short, the emergence of many impressive sources of free online legal information does not presage the end of public law libraries. Autocompletion of Queries 05/24/2010
I've enabled autocompletion of queries for the Connecticut Law Search Engine. According to the custom search blog, the autocompleted queries are generated from content on the websites included in the custom search engine. In other words, the autocompletions are customized for each search engine. Very nice! Here's a screenshot:  ctlawsearch.com Google Scholar Case Law Review 04/24/2010

I'm testing two new pages, "Case Law" and "CT Statutes and Codes." The case law page searches recent Connecticut opinions, US Supreme Court opinions, selected F2d and F3d opinions, and selected Connecticut bankruptcy opinions. The codes page searches the US Code and Connecticut statutes. Welcome! 10/18/2009
Welcome to the redesigned Connecticut Law Search Engine. The underlying custom search engines haven't changed, but the web address and site design have. When I make any substantial changes to the search engine or to the site, I'll post about it here. | AboutAs a law librarian at a public law library, I regularly need to find Connecticut legal information quickly. I created this search engine to efficiently retrieve freely available legal information on the Web. I realized that others researching the law might find this search engine useful and now make it public for anyone to search. I continue to tinker with and tweak this Google Custom Search engine.
