So a public records search amounts to that?

That's pretty unbelievable, wow.

If a record is made public, it's always part of the public record. If a case has been expunged, those results are removed though because it's the right thing to do.

It's a difficult problem, but that would definitely be useful for sure.

Great point. It's extremely difficult to represent yourself pro se if you don't have access to information about how cases like yours might unfold, arguments that have been used, how well those arguments have worked, how the cases

Good question. Not that I'm aware of.

When you say used to persucute, that's not accurate in any legal sense. Many states have statewide repositories of court data. Also, when you say "can be used for", that's extremely broad and as far as a standard for tak

Maybe that can be handled better automatically. Good point, thanks for mentioning.

Hmm, sounds like a broad classification associated with the record. In the broadest sense, I think all cases are defined as either civil or criminal.

Exact match searches are supported. Can you give an example? Also, to limit by other qualifiers you can add those to the search criteria. However, the search isn't field-specific and so that ability can be done loose-ly (like Google) a

CourtListener is a free source that does this very well for high-level courts. (i.e., US Supreme Court, Federal Courts, State Courts of Last Resort/State Supreme Courts). For that, you have to detect references of cases which is a diff

The site is meant to be an index, and you should verify information from the source.
