Helpful South Dakota legal research links.

The South Dakota Supreme Court and the United States District Court for South Dakota have adopted the "universal citation system" for identifying their written opinions. This system identifies the opinion by the year, the court, and the sequential number of the opinion during the year. The South Dakota Supreme Court opinions are thus identified, e.g., Hoogestraat v. Barnett, 1998 SD 104. The United States District Court (for the District of South Dakota) opinions are thus identified, e.g., Yankton Sioux Tribe v. Janklow, 1998 SD 24.

The South Dakota Bar Association  has a page with links to the South Dakota Supreme Court table of cases (designated SD Index) as well as  the United States District Court cases (DSD Index)

The Case Index gives a complete list of available cases. It is quite large and takes time to download.
