"Palawlibrary.com makes it easier to retrieve Pennsylvania appellate opinions, federal opinions without having to utilize individual links to the courts. It’s like shopping at one site without having to use every Web site. It can save time and money. I recommend it to anyone (attorney, paralegal, librarian) who has a need for quick access to Pennsylvania data."
