Justia Launches Free Federal District Court Filings Database Search

Another terrific project from the Justia team, this database [still under development] of recently filed Federal District Court civil cases allows users to browse by State, Nature of Suit and Cases, as well as seach by Party Name, jurisdiction, type of lawsuit, and within a given date range. According to Tim Stanley, there are currently “over 300,000 case titles since January 1, 2006, and they are updating [the database] daily.”
Additional features include:

  • Users may opt to subscribe to RSS feeds of all of the new cases by topic, or may otherwise conduct a search and then subscribe to an RSS feed of the search results.
  • Data on each case includes a link to the related docket information on Pacer (accessible via subscription, 8 cents per
    page) as well as to blog, news and finance and web searches on the party names.
