I believe in the US that database is called Westlaw. (www.westlaw.com) Mat

It therefore seems likely that such a system exists for the USA too (or perhaps at the individual State level?). If you or others on this list contact your internal legal folks then perhaps you could ask them (a) if such a database exists and (b) whether you could spend some time accessing it? Regards, Richard Hughes p.s. For those that were wondering, the legal system in Scotland is different to that in England and Wales - and Northern Ireland is different again.
