Suggestions for researching cases: Expand your search to include regional and local papers by changing the drop-down menu from "Major World Publications" to "Newspapers."

If you get a lot of search results, use the Geographic limit (left-hand side of the search results page) to narrow down your results to just the location(s) you're researching.
