Are you regularly using any free legal research resources?

This article discusses Carl Malamud's Public.Resource.org site, PACER, and Justia.com, to name a few.

I use PACER regularly and have used Justia a few times. When I get a request for a federal or state decision that has only a docket number, I usually go to the court's web site (for federal decisions) or PACER to pull it instead of going to Lexis or Westlaw. But - for searching, I always to a paid source.
