multiple open-access sources for case law. See the following article,

I’ve been asked to come up with a list of core titles to add to our
collection to support a new program that is being vetted on campus:
Legal Studies. Since the boundaries of this program are a little fuzzy
(law and society, sociology of law) I’m not finding a lot of help with
making a list of core titles that we should add to our collection. I’m
especially concerned because legal titles go out of date quickly. Also,
I don’t think we want to be in the business of starting a legal
reference library with hard copies of state and federal statutes, etc.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions for places they might go
to help generate a list of core titles in any discipline?
