After nearly a year of effort, the Free Law Project has downloaded every opinion and order from the federal courts’ PACER system and has made them available for search through its RECAP archive of PACER documents.
The collection contains approximately 3.4 million orders and opinions from approximately 1.5 million federal district and bankruptcy court cases dating back to 1960, according to a blog post from the Free Law Project. More than 400,000 of the documents were scanned and required OCR, amounting to nearly 2 million pages of text extraction.
