The Caselaw Access Project

In collaboration with Ravel Law, Harvard Law Library digitized over 40 million U.S. court decisions consisting of 6.7 million cases from the last 360 years into a dataset that is widely accessible to use. Access a bulk download of the data through the Caselaw Access Project API (CAPAPI): https://case.law/caselaw/

Find more information about accessing state and federal written court decisions of common law through the bulk data service documentation here: https://case.law/docs/

Learn more about the Caselaw Access Project and all of the phenomenal work done by Jack Cushman, Greg Leppert, and Matteo Cargnelutti here: https://case.law/about/

Post-processing

Teraflop AI is excited to help support the Caselaw Access Project and Harvard Library Innovation Lab, in the release of over 6.6 million state and federal court decisions published throughout U.S. history. It is important to democratize fair access to data to the public, legal community, and researchers. This is a processed and cleaned version of the original CAP data.

During the digitization of these texts, there were erroneous OCR errors that occurred. We worked to post-process each of the texts for model training to fix encoding, normalization, repetition, redundancy, parsing, and formatting.

Teraflop AI’s data engine allows for the massively parallel processing of web-scale datasets into cleaned text form. Our one-click deployment allowed us to easily split the computation between 1000s of nodes on our managed infrastructure.
