Current Awareness & Alerting Resources: Going Mobile, Other News Sources, & Alerts

This guide is devoted to current awareness and alerting resources available at Indiana University's Maurer School of Law Library. It will show you how to create, edit, and manage alerting services in a variety of e-resources.

There is an App for that!

Check out the "Legal Research & News" tab in Ashley Ahlbrand's Apps for Law School and the Legal Profession guide for current awareness apps for your favorite mobile devices:

"Junk Drawer"

There are a few resources that just don't fit nicely into any category but still may prove useful to you.  Thus, we present the "junk drawer"!

Justia -- Justia offers free daily newsletters for the US Supreme Court, all US Federal Appellate Courts & the 50 US State Supreme Courts and Weekly Practice Area Opinion Summaries Newsletters.

Social Media

Social media is another great tool for keeping up-to-date on legal issues.
