The Library Innovation Lab at the Harvard Law School has put almost 6.5 million US court cases online. Across the 1600s to this year the Caselaw Access Project scanned over 40 million pages in an attempt to digitise all reported state and federal US legal cases from five years. The work was done to help legal AI companies previously lacking access to the necessary data required for developing their software. Now available for free, the cases will serve as an improved training source while also making it easier for lawyers to find material for background research.
