A large new open dataset was announced today:
The Caselaw Access Project (“CAP”) expands public access to U.S. law.
Our goal is to make all published U.S. court decisions freely available to the public online, in a consistent format, digitized from the collection of the Harvard Law Library.
Today we’re excited to launch the Caselaw Access Project (CAP) API and bulk data service, which puts the full corpus of published U.S. case law online for anyone to access for free at https://t.co/VMYgmv5zTJ. https://t.co/6ayaAqfH3q @hlslib @BKCHarvard @HarvardLibrary pic.twitter.com/VBneysuRZI

It’s extremely easy to use. I’ve already pulled some datasets from targeted searches down. They also have an API and you can search through curl.
This is wonderful. Thanks Matt!
