Anyone near Otsego County have Education Department Reports?
According to the SUNY Union Catalog, SUNY's Oneonta and Binghamton have the Judicial Decisions of the Commissioner of Education.
Supreme Court Docket?
A student asks "How do I find out what cases are about to appear before the US Supreme Court, or other courts?"
Good Question. You know that only decisions (not motions or calendars or court dockets) are in Lexis Nexis Academic. And not every court has an updated, online calendar (in some cases, a rip to the local county courthouse is the only way to go.) But here is a short list of tools you might find useful.

- The Supreme Court Docket is the SCOTUS official tracking system. You can search by keywords that might appear in the filing (e.g., "education" "school") but there is no subject access. So try different words. And notice that some of the filings have already been decided!
- The NYS Unified Court System's eCourts tool lets you view pending cases in the NYS legal system.
- Justia's docket search tool enables you to search for pending FEDERAL cases that are being heard in NYS and elsewhere. NOTE: At this time, you can only search by party names (e.g., "school district" as a litigant)
- the Southern District of NY (federal) PACER search: register (free) and search the court calendar and more
