CourtListener for Daily Updates on Opinions Issued by SCOTUS and Federal Circuit Courts
A hat tip to Paul Lomio for calling attention to CourtListener on Legal Research Plus. From the site's About Page:
This site was created by Michael Lissner as part of a masters thesis at the University of California, Berkeley School of Information. ... The goal of the site is to create a free and competitive real time alert tool for the U.S. judicial system.
At present, the site has daily information regarding all precedential opinions issued by the 13 federal circuit courts and the Supreme Court of the United States. Each day, we also have the non-precedential opinions from all of the Circuit courts except the D.C. Circuit. This means that by 5:10pm PST, the database will be updated with the opinions of the day, with custom alerts going out shortly thereafter.
The coverage of our corpus for a given court varies, but it is growing on a daily basis. We are working to integrate the documents from other online sites that provide free public access to court documents.
To see am overview of regular updates, visit the site's coverage page. [JH]
