Online Legal Information

Law Asked by RishiM on November 22, 2021

I am looking for free access databases that can be used to search docket information and case law search. I came across. https://www.docketalarm.com/ but, I could’nt find the docket information of case.

I am aware of paid data bases like Lexmachina/ westlaw but I am looking for free database, Are there any freely accessible data bases for searching docket information.

My target is US jurisdiction.

One Answer

Try courtlistener.com and Leagle.com . The former allows for operators (giving thus the ability to fine-tune your search) and also shows the documents filed by the parties whereas leagle.com only fetches court decisions/opinions.

When searching for court opinions it is recommendable to use multiple resources rather than sticking to only one. For a while I used LexisNexis only. Its search flexibility is comparable to that of courtlistener and I was comfortable with its syntax. But several months later I realized that LexisNexis was not fetching some important authorities (case law) I needed. That prompted me to switch to Leagle, and its results gave me some heads-up for retrieving from LexisNexis certain decisions which Leagle was not fetching.
