Jureeka – Creates Links to Cases, Statutes on the Free Web

Jureeka is a free Firefox or Chrome extension that allows you to   “Surf the legal web you didn’t know was there!”  It transforms plain text into hyperlinks to full text cases, statutes and administrative code sections.  (The image to the left shows Jureeka double underline links for some Ohio sources.)

We first wrote about Jureeka in 2009.   It is now powered by Legal Information Institute (LII) which has large collections of legal sources.  Jureeka has always had good coverage of federal sources, and federal district court cases have been added.  According to the Jureeka Blog, many state citations have been added too.   Ohio Official Reporter citations both appellate and Supreme Court, as well the Ohio WebCites (eg. 2008-Ohio-2189) now work, in addition to Ohio Revised Code and Ohio Administrative Code cites.

A partial list of covered citations is at the Jureeka Blog.   Jureeka only shows links on html documents, not pdfs, such as the pdf opinions from the Ohio Supreme Court.
