Where is this getting the docs from? It's a lot of work for FLP/Courtlistener to get stuff, and even they don't have 100% of records (not sure if this site is claiming to have 100%, it's unclear)

Probably scraped and aggregated from the various state, municipal and federal courts directly.

  At least for federal courts, the records are available on PACER but they cost money. Who is paying?

    Probably https://free.law/ https://free.law/ ETA: which is of course mentioned on the thread root. But RECAP users would be paying, in that case.

    All court records are not copyrightable so once one person gets a document from PACER they are free to upload it to things like RECAP. Allegedly PACER is only allowed to charge enough to cover the infra costs of operating it, and has a pretty generous free tier nowadays so it’s mostly law firms that end up having to pay.

  This. Each county pretty much has a unique system though, so it's a pain.
