Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute, linked here, provides the best access to cases from 1990 forward. (See Additional Resources below for earlier cases.) The court provides its decisions on-line for the current term and the past several terms. The complete contents of bound volumes of United States Reports, starting with volume 502 (1991), can be downloaded in PDF files (one LARGE file per volume) from the court’s web site. However, the most-recent volume in that collection always is several years behind the current term.

Note — The Supreme Court’s term begins each year on the first Monday in October and ends, usually, in the following June. Opinions (and orders and other documents) issued by the court are published officially in United States Reports (“U.S.” in citations), commonly referred to as “U.S. Reports.” See 28 U.S.C. § 411; see also information about opinions at the court’s web site.
Note — In the volumes of U.S. Reports up to mid-1883, the date on which a given case was decided was not printed in the report of the case. Supreme Court librarians produced a PDF file (168 pages) listing the dates for those cases.
FindLaw database [West Group] — Browse decisions by years (from 1893) or by volumes of U.S. Reports (from 150 U.S. 54); or use one of the following forms to retrieve a case by citation or to search for a case by party name or keywords (search terms are not case-sensitive).
U.S. Reports from 1 U.S. 1 et seq. [Public.Resource.Org] — This web site provides HTML files (lacking page breaks within each report) of the case reports and orders in volumes starting with 1 U.S. 1 and continuing at least to 544 U.S. 1301 (April 15, 2005).

(N.Y.), Legal Information Inst.] — Search a database of actions by the court as described in its regular Monday order lists, beginning with the first order list issued in October 1998 and continuing through the most recent order list issued by the court.

Summaries for cases in the Supreme Court [Willamette Univ. Coll. of Law] — For cases from recent years, this service provides summaries of certiorari granted, oral arguments, and decisions published by the Supreme Court. The certiorari summaries focus on the facts and decision from the lower court. The week prior to oral arguments, the service provides an outline of the issues presented to the court as argued in the briefs. The decision summaries provide the holding from the court and a brief overview of the court’s reasoning. A search function is provided. A free e-mail subscription is available (to receive the summaries by e-mail).

Google Scholar This is a search interface. Select “Case law” then the desired court(s) before starting a search. Enter a citation — which must be to the first page of a case report — or a party’s name; a link to the desired case report will be returned. Text searching also is possible. The search results include links to later case reports in which the targeted case is cited. In the targeted case report, page breaks from the original printed volume are indicated, at the level of a line of text (which makes this source useful for serious legal research). In many instances, links also are provided, within the case report being examined, to reports of cases that are cited in it.

Proposed amendments not ratified [Library of Congress] — This is a section from the Constitution Annotated presenting texts of unratified amendments. “During the course of our history, in addition to the 27 amendments that have been ratified by the required three-fourths of the States, six other amendments have been submitted to the States but have not been ratified by them. [¶] Beginning with the proposed Eighteenth Amendment, Congress has customarily included a provision requiring ratification within seven years from the time of the submission to the States. The Supreme Court in Coleman v. Miller, 307 U.S. 433 (1939), declared that the question of the reasonableness of the time within which a sufficient number of States must act is a political question to be determined by the Congress.”
Supreme Court constitutional decisions [Library of Congress] — This is a section from the Constitution Annotated, citing decisions of the Supreme Court based on constitutional grounds, classified in the following categories:

Note: Statutes at Large — Public laws enacted by Congress (and the few occasional private laws) are published officially in United States Statutes at Large (“Stat.” in citations; “Statutes at Large” informally) by the National Archives and Records Administration. See an explanation, “About Public and Private Laws,” on the GPO web site. See also lists showing bill number, public law number, name of act, approval date, and Statutes at Large page citation and span (but no text links), for both the current session and also past sessions back through Pub. L. No. 103-1 (1993). There is also a Wikipedia article.
Note: Revised Statutes — An historical outline and source notes for federal statutes, prepared by Richard J. McKinney, Assistant Law Librarian for the Federal Reserve Board, shows how the process of publishing federal statutes has changed over time since 1789. Volume 18 of the Statutes at Large (1878) contains, in part I, the Revised Statutes of the United States (“R.S.” in official citations or “Rev. Stat.” unofficially; “Revised Statutes” informally), which was a compilation of all federal laws as of December 1, 1873, with amendments enacted in 1874–1877. It was the precursor of the United States Code. (See a Wikipedia article.) Some provisions in the Revised Statutes were not carried into the United States Code; Acts of Congress can occasionally include a citation to the Revised Statutes when amending one of those provisions. The Library of Congress provides images of all 1,394 pages of the Revised Statutes contained in part I of volume 18 of the Statutes at Large, including an index.
United States Statutes at Large (1789 to present) [The Constitution Society (Tex.)] — These are searchable PDF files. Each file contains one entire volume of the Statutes at Large; therefore, downloading a file could take a significant amount of time. (Volumes 6, 7, and 8 are omitted.)

Note — Most public laws are reflected in the United States Code (“U.S.C.” in citations; “U.S. Code” informally), which is a topical compilation, in more than 50 titles, of the major part of Congressional legislation. See an explanatory comment on the code by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel in the House of Representatives, including dates for the current supplements to the most-recent edition of the code. See also a Wikipedia article. Cornell Law School’s LII database automatically provides access to amendments from Pub. L. No. 104-1 (1995) forward. The texts of the code titles that have been enacted into positive law (see the drop-down selection list, above) constitute legal evidence of the law contained in those titles. The remaining titles of the code are prima facie evidence of the laws contained in them; the laws themselves constitute the legal (unimpeachable) evidence of their content. See1 U.S.C. § 204. There is a plan to enact additional titles into positive law, raising the number of separate titles in the code to 56 (or more).
