Atom Searches: Feed Your Need

New feature: AltLaw now offers Atom feeds of updated search results.
Not sure what this means? Basically, a feed is a simple way to "subscribe" to a web page — in AltLaw's case, search results — and get a summary of new content that appears on that page. You need software called a "feed reader" to view the updates. Check out Feeds 101 at Google for more information.
To get the customized feed for your search, just click on the "ATOM 1.0 feed" link on the search results page.
How often are these feeds updated? It depends on the courts. Generally speaking, AltLaw will have a new case within 24 hours of the time it appears on a court's web site.
