A new open access resource is available. The Caselaw Access Project (CAP) is an initiative of Harvard Law Library to make US case law freely available online.
CAP has digitized all official book-published United States case law. This includes state courts, federal courts, and territorial courts for American Samoa, Dakota Territory, Guam, Native American Courts, Navajo Nation and the Northern Mariana Islands. Coverage runs from 1658-2018.
Bulk data downloads and API is available for accessing metadata, full-text search, and individual cases.
CAP can be accessed by going to the ‘Refined Database List’ on the Law Library homepage, selecting ‘United States Law’, and then clicking on ‘Caselaw Access Project’.
