Last September, I wrote here about the private beta launch of BriefMine, a database of legal briefs that lawyers can mine for arguments and legal theories they can use in their own legal briefs. As I wrote then, the site uses intuitive, natural-language search to allow users to explore a database of legal briefs collected from around the country.
Today, BriefMine is coming out of private beta and launching its paid version, with subscriptions available either for $34 a month or $297 a year. A 14-day free trial is also available.
In the months since I first wrote about BriefMine, the site has made improvements both to its content and its user interface, founder Harry Zeitlin tells me.
On the content side, BriefMine has secured a content partnership with the Law Library Microform Consortium, Zeitlin says. The LLMC has been working with the LA Law Library to digitize the library’s collection of California briefs and BriefMine has partnered with the LLMC to gain access to this content. This brings BriefMine’s total brief count to over 150,000. Many of these are from California, but many are from other jurisdictions as well, Zeitlin says.
