How do lawyers look up previous cases? For example, all annulment cases in NC over past 10 years

You wish upon a star, smoke a little crack and see the cases one by one.

Go to a law library. There's probably one not horribly far away, and the librarians there can help you.

Google scholar

some states have free case law databases

In all honesty you wouldn't want to read all annulment cases. You would find the main case, and then look up the cases that cite to it. You'd mostly just make sure nobody conflicts with it.
