How To Search For Cases

There are three ways that you can search for specific cases: 

• Alphabetical Index - This index lists all of the cases in the Clearinghouse by title in alphabetical order. If you already know the title of a case that you wish to use, you can go directly to it from this index. Click on the Alphabetical Index link on the home page.  This link takes you to an index page which includes an abstract for each case.  To view the full text of any case, just click on the title. You can read the cases online or print them out to review later.
