RBSourceFilings enhanced with EDGAR Quick Search and SEC No-Action Letters
Enhanced SEC EDGAR filings search tools include:
- EDGAR Quick Search widget on the Home Page for quick access to EDGAR filings by company, form type, and form section

LoislawConnect enhanced with new, improved way to search justice opinions and text
With Loislaw’s “fielded search,” users always had the ability to search Majority, Concurring, and Dissenting opinions by the opinion author’s name and text, but the search was limited to searching only one type of opinion at a time (e.g., you could search one justice’s majority opinions, but not their dissenting opinions at the same time).
Based on user feedback, we have now made the search capability more efficient. Loislaw’s new search by “Opinion Author” and “Opinion Text” feature allows for searching via a justice’s name and finding any majority, concurring and dissenting opinions all at once . . .
or you can search them “All” and get an author’s opinions in each category:
