Static frontend for the Caselaw Access Project

capstone-static

The Caselaw Access Project is a large-scale digitization project hosted by the Harvard Law School Library Innovation Lab.

This is a static, archival port of the website originally hosted at case.law, which served court opinions and an accompanying suite of tools to users in a variety of formats. The static website uses client-side javascript to allow browsing of the static case data hosted at https://static.case.law.

This repository does not itself contain case data: visit the website to browse and download case data.
