A few questions come to mind that aren't answered by perusing the site, though I haven't yet looked at the downloadable files. 1) How comprehensive are the court decisions ? For example which Federal Courts are covered and for what time periods ? If there are variations in coverage of state courts what are the high low and typical cases of coverage - both for dates and court levels ? 2) How was the court decision data obtained ? I was under the impression that there were significant obstacles to obtaining much of this data since although statutes are available freely online for many jurisdictions access to court decisions is typically very costly. I once payed several hundred dollars for a months access to NYS court decisions and I believe that service no longer exists, having been replaced by much more expensive long term plans that are out of reach of anyone except law firms or large corporations. Getting court decisions online for free or at an affordable cost would be of great benefit to anyone needing/wanting to do legal research in the US and would help improve the increasingly dismal state of democracy in this country.
