Hi all,
Here is another beta of a free information project with lots of RSS feeds.
http://dockets.justia.com
FEDERAL COURT CASE FILINGS
We have setup a database of recently filed Federal District Court
civil cases. We basically get a list of all of the cases, and then
break them down by State/Court/Practice/Sub-Practice.
RSS FEEDS
You can subscribe to an RSS feed of all of the new cases that meet
these criteria, or you can do a search and subscribe to an RSS fee of
the search results. For example you could track all of the Federal
Court cases filed against Microsoft as an RSS feed, or you could
subscribe to just those that are filed in Washington State. Whatever
the search criteria, you can track new cases with an RSS feed.
LINKS TO PACER, BLOG, NEWS, FINANCE & WEB INFO
Each case has an individual page with a link to the Pacer info page
(you do need a subscription to access these documents at 8 cents per
page) as well as Blog, News, Finance and Web searches on the party
names. Depending on the particular case, you can often get some good
background information on the parties.
VALUE - CLIENTS/COMPANY TRACKING
The value of the database could be seen as a tracking mechanism for
client cases (you will know when they get sued before they do
sometimes), as well as a way to track companies and to find new
clients/cases (eg if you were a patent lawyer, you could track Patent
cases filed in your local Federal Court).
DAILY UPDATES
There are over 300,000 case titles since January 1, 2006, and we are
updating it daily.
Anyway feel free to try it out. We are still making some user
interface changes, and are going to add more functionality and
editorial groupings of parties. We are always looking for ideas, so
if you want any additions or changes, feel free to let us know.
Peace,
Tim
