Become a sponsor to Free Law Project
Since 2010, Free Law Project has developed numerous open source projects that help move the legal system forward:
-
CourtListener.com is our flagship project with over 100M items from PACER, a growing collection of opinions, the largest collection of oral argument audio on the Internet, a database of federal and state judges, APIs, bulk data, and more.
-
The RECAP Project provides extensions for Firefox and Chrome so that as you use PACER, you make your purchases open access. And as others do the same, you get their purchases right in PACER itself, saving you money.
-
Juriscraper is a Python library for gathering data from hundreds of court websites across the country.
-
Reporters DB is a huge curation of information about nearly every reporter of decisions ever printed. With information on over 700 reporters, it's the backbone of numerous citation analysis algorithms.
-
Our database of courts contains over 2,100 regular expressions that can be used to parse and normalize the name of nearly any American court.
And the list goes on. We build tools and collect legal data so you don't have to.
