FreeLaw
Free Law Project is a leading nonprofit organization that aims to make the legal ecosystem more equitable and competitive through technology, data, and advocacy. Here are some key aspects of their work:
-
RECAP Suite: This suite helps you liberate and work with court documents. If you use PACER, you can install the RECAP browser extension. Anything you purchase from PACER goes into the RECAP Archive, and anything someone else buys becomes freely accessible to you directly in PACER.
-
Docket Alerts: Get alerts when federal dockets are updated by their data gathering systems.
-
X-Ray Redaction Detector: This tool helps find bad redactions at scale, preventing them from affecting your firm's reputation.
-
Webhooks for PACER: Automate your workflow by listening to notifications from PACER and CourtListener.
-
CourtListener: Their archive of legal opinions, filings, judges, and judicial financial records. It has the largest free collection of federal court documents and dockets on the Internet.
-
Opinions Database: CourtListener houses an extensive collection of searchable orders and opinions from state and federal courts.
-
Deep Judge Data: They are creating a groundbreaking database of American magistrates, judges, and justices, including detailed biographical information and over a million disclosure records.
-
RECAP Archive: Every docket and PDF they have is fully searchable in the RECAP Archive on CourtListener.
-
Oral Arguments: They host the biggest collection of oral argument audio in the world, making it accessible online or via custom podcasts.
-
APIs and Bulk Data: Free Law Project provides automated access to nearly all the data they host via APIs, bulk data files, and database replication.
