Legal Research: Alaska Trial Court Opinions

Jump to Comments

Westlaw has a database for selected state trial court opinions.  TRIALORDERS-ALL covers all states.  XX-TRIALORDERS covers an individual state.  The database for Alaska trial court opinions is AK-TRIALORDERS. 

AK-TRIALORDERS currently contains 947 opinions, from October 1972 through July 2008. 

AK-TRIALORDERS isn’t part of AK-CS.  Westlaw presumably adds on a subscription fee (or a fee for each individual opinion that you access).   But there’s currently a free 30-day trial subscription (so long as you don’t exceed 30 hours).

For more information on how Westlaw selects opinions for on-line publication, and on how to request West to publish an opinion, go here.
