To encourage new users, AudioCaseFiles, a web site of downloadable MP3 files of court opinions, is available at no charge this summer.
This service, which is aimed at law students, provides recordings of most of the opinions that appear in many law school first year course casebooks. Looks like there are a couple hundred so far, but the company has plans to add lots more, including cases from 2L and 3L casebooks.
Downloading the cases to your iPod is very easy and the voice recording the case is pleasant – not a computer generated voice. I did a blog search for AudioCaseFiles to see what students thought about it. There wasn’t too much talk about it, but all reactions were positive. Most liked to be able to exercise or do other things while listening.
