Indeed it is (http://www.law.cornell.edu). I've been trying to drag a
friend from there onto the list. He's currently getting sucked into the
time-consuming-vacuum known as "mike and brett's world" while also
trying to pass the bar and start a new life at a law firm . . . we'll
get him over here eventually.
Most federal courts are on the web now, with archives back to 1985
(which seems to be about the time they all started using wordprocessors
and archiving cases in a format they can easily convert). Most states
are as well. Some more detailed than others, and in many cases, private
sites providing better service than the state efforts.
The government has been mandated to do the above-suggested approach.
The Electronic FOIA act did this about two years ago.
They're all late in getting the data up. :P
