• U.S. Army sergeant who shot Austin protester Garrett Foster found guilty of murder. One member of my local party is quitting the chapter over this, the rest of us feel justice was served. What do y'all think?

  This stuff has been in the case law for centuries. You maybe oughta go read the statutes and cases, okay? It ain't like Harvard Law School hasn't done their damnedest to make the case.law freely available to everyone. Source: about 1 year ago

• Does the US really not have anything like Canlii for searching text of cases? GLIN seems to be a private very small collection only up until 2010, LII seems to just search the Criminal Code? I must be missing something major, right?

• Full text search on 630M US court cases

  Neat. I'll add this to my sources on case law -- another one I've come across is https://case.law/ Per my close friend, the value of these (or, why people subscribe to LexisNexis) isn't solely the texts, but the cross referencing. It would be really cool to see that get implemented (and no doubt a non-trivial problem!). How do you source your case inputs, as it is bigger than PACER? - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Love to hate Westlaw 🥰

  I'm a big fan of Caselaw Access Project https://case.law/ . You need to know your citation but it's got the scans of the reporters. I use Fastcase which doesn't always have the right cites and omits diagrams/maps. Source: about 2 years ago
