SCALES’ AI solution to making court records more accessible to all means you will not need technical expertise or law know-how to conduct analysis on court data. Our user-centered approach is highlighted in this Springer Nature article,

Check out the SCALES newly-published article in AI magazine, The Promise of AI in an Open Justice System,

SCALES work is highlighted in a new article, Machine Learning Could Jolt Legal Research — We Just Need the Data

Now we have our post up with the technical details of how we came to that estimate for you to sink your teeth into 3/3

and estimating that a years' worth of content is worth ~5.5 million at current prices 2/3

It was busy last week, with talking about how PACER access should be free1/3

Next update in our week of talking about PACER costs -- a dive into how our estimate of ~$5.5 million for a year of PACER filings is divided geographically and across case types.

RT @NICOatNU: Using #AI, @NorthwesternU researchers seek to improve the legal practice and administration of justice. @scales_okn @adamrpah….

Day 2 of our week talking about the cost of PACER. Read @ProfDSchwartz and Sarath Sanga's OpEd in the WSJ.

Lots of talk about what PACER costs to run from the judiciary and the public. To help put a number on it, we dove into an exploration of what it would cost to download a year of PACER filings and how much it conceivably could cost instead.

Our public code repo is up and running! If you need tools to download dockets from PACER and extract data from the html you can find info about them here:.

We are elated to announce that the SCALES OKN was awarded a @NSF Phase II Convergence Accelerator Grant! Our mission continues as we aim to transform the transparency and accessibility of court records
