1.8M Pages of Federal Case Law to Go Public
By Robert Ambrogi on November 14, 2007

Carl Malamud’s nonprofit organization Public.Resource.Org and the legal research
company Fastcase today announced an agreement that will allow Public.Resource.Org to
publish 1.8 million pages of federal case law in the public domain. The archive, which will
become available sometime in 2008, will include all U.S. courts of appeals decisions since
1950 and all Supreme Court decisions since 1754. I wrote in August about Malamud’s charge
to crash the Wexis gate with his plan to create a public-domain repository of all case law,
federal and state, and I first wrote about him a decade ago in recognition of his work to bring
the SEC’s EDGAR database to the public. In today’s statement, he said:

“

“The U.S. judiciary has allowed their entire work
product to be locked up behind a cash register. Law is
the operating system of our society and today’s
agreement means anybody can read the source for a
substantial amount of case law that was previously
unavailable.”

Notably, this public-domain database will come about with the cooperation of a for-profit
legal research company. Fastcase has agreed to sell this case law in a one-time transaction
that will allow Public.Resource.Org to use it. The cases will be marked with a new Creative
Commons mark — CC-Ø — that signals that there are no copyrights or other related rights
attached to the content.
Once it receives the cases, Public.Resource.Org will format them using open source “star”
mapping software, which will allow the insertion of markers that will approximate page
breaks based on user-furnished parameters such as page size, margins, and fonts. “Wiki”
technology will be used to allow the public to move around these markers, as well as add
summaries, classifications, keywords, alternate numbering systems for citation purposes,
and ratings or “diggs” on opinions.
Going forward, new cases will be added to the database through organizations that already
make cases publicly available, such as AltLaw and the Legal Information Institute.
Today’s announcement said that further news “will be forthcoming on the availability of
other case law, including Federal District and pre-1949 Appellate decisions.”
