Back in 2011, I wrote a post about the launch of CourtListener, a free website that lets you create alerts to notify you of new cases that match your search criteria. Today, the site announced that it is adding more than 1.5 million court opinions to its database, expanding its coverage to a total of 350 federal and state jurisdictions.
Originally created by Michael Lissner as part of his master’s thesis at the University of California, Berkeley School of Information, CourtListener is now a part of the broader Free Law Project, a non-profit devoted to providing free, public and permanent access to primary legal materials on the Internet.
