@markankcorn @BWarburg @Winterrose @HarvardLIL We run the spiritual successor, and we're scanning the books now too! https://t.co/ExMJSUweuE

[Free Law Project ⚖ @FreeLawProject]

@rothken @andrewarruda We have a citation verification API that's powered by our database of about 18 million citations to about 10 million decisions. https://t.co/YwhEb6lIG5

@PaulMSherman FWIW, you can usually find cases in the RECAP Archive with a search or two and it's free. Full text search, too. https://t.co/eWXDBfV7nC.

@carltonforbes @andrewarruda @markankcorn @jjhughes @somayaji99 We’ve spent weeks calling courts to convince them to do better, with some minor wins. It’s tough work.

[Free Law Project ⚖ @FreeLawProject]

@carltonforbes @ROSSIntel Kind of an impossible question, like how much money to feed the world. It would take policy, technical and social change.

@jjhughes @somayaji99 @andrewarruda About data quality, we recently began scanning the case law books (something commercial rates pay for), and will have the gap filled by the fall. https://t.co/ExMJSUweuE

[Free Law Project ⚖ @FreeLawProject]

@jjhughes @somayaji99 @andrewarruda We do charge for commercial uses, yes, but we provide extensive free API access for prototyping, and we provide huge access for researchers and academics. Users in this thread have made hundreds of thousands of API requests, for free, while working at mega law firms.

@andrewarruda @markankcorn @jjhughes @somayaji99 Until PACER and all other court systems are free, this is, sadly, the state of the world. No system has every filing. There are over two billion of them in the federal system alone.
