OYEZ: US Supreme Court Media

Today I looked at The Oyez Database. This database is a collection of court cases and information about the supreme court. I did a search on church vs. state and tons of results came up. When results are returned cases are displayed by title and then a little snippet is also displayed beside it. The snippet is just a little overvue of the case. When a user finds a case they may be interested in the can read the facts of the case along with the conclusion and the how many votes were given for each side. Users can also listen to an oral argument or download the mp3 of the audio. You can also look at all the details of the case like date and which justices were on the case. There is also a cite option at the bottom of the page that sites the case for you. Users can also browase through different courts and the justices that serve there. One super cool thing this database offers is a virtual tour of the supreme court buliding and some of the judges chambers. Users can navigate their way through doors and rooms and get to view what the building looks like...its almost like you are there in real life. The tour is my favorite part of the database. I think this database is easy to use and could really be helpful to someone needing court information or maybe someone writing a historical paper like i had to in comp II.
