Harvard Law Library’s Latest Research Guide: Smartphone/Tablet Legal Research
Posted: April 16, 2012 Filed under: Productivity | Tags: android, apps, Federal, free apps, government, iPad, iPhone, Mobile Leave a comment »Harvard Law Library has recently added a research guide entitled “Mobile Apps for Legal Research and More.” Particularly useful are the free U.S. Government apps, which I have reproduced below. Of these, my favorite app is OyezToday, which allows you to listen to Supreme Court oral arguments and search through the transcripts.
