I found this information posed out on the internet at: http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=41822 I am posting it here for everyone in the Connecticut Forum to view. This information will provide a glimpse of what is currently being litigated in many jurisdictions across the country.

The Internet Archive (IA) iaxxxx.us.archive.org links are free to view and download pdf's. They are your best resource for obtaining current court filings on the cheap. Unfortunately they tend to be a couple days behind Pacer (requires subscription, cost .08/page viewed/downloaded).

The dockets.justia links are good portals into Pacer, but not much good on their own.

That last one, Bigtoe416....... I thought you were pulling our leg on that one.

A good research tool even if a bit pricey.

If people are going to consider purchasing, maybe we can share the docs and not re-purchase them. Public records, so I'm assuming it's legal to share them.
