Carl Malamud Takes on WestLaw

Tue, 2007-08-21 07:53 — jajacobs

Carl Malamud (a hero of public access to public information!), who has
taken on the SEC, Patents, and Congress and C-Span, is now tackling the 5
million or so pages of federal case law.

Carl's short-term goal is the creation of an unencumbered full-text
repository of the Federal Reporter, the Federal Supplement, and the Federal
Appendix. The medium-term goal is the creation of an unencumbered full-text
repository of all state and federal cases and codes.
