@molly0xfff for others who see this:

If you buy documents from PACER, please install the RECAP extension from the Free Law Project (who is behind CourtListener).

Any plans to make it official, i.e. put it into the Chrome Developer Marketplace thing? Just curious.

molly0xfff, 2 months ago

@negative12dollarbill yeah I submitted it for review just for kicks

OK, great public service, but what particular ([slurp]juicy) case prompted you to dive into all this?

molly0xfff, 2 months ago

@hnapel SBF sentencing documents. his filing had like forty attachments!

@molly0xfff You're really becoming proficient in law research! I was going to ask if you'd consider adapting it to a Zotero translator, to import from Court Listener into the Zotero open source bibliography manager, but I saw one was recently added! https://www.zotero.org/ https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/CourtListener.js #zotero

@CubeThoughts i should, given that i use zotero. looks like that translator only works for opinions, whereas i'm mainly scrounging around in random filings

I also just added support so it will work on PACER pages (iff you have the RECAP extension installed, and you should!)

If you use PACER and you don't use RECAP, you should rectify that immediately: https://free.law/recap

@molly0xfff Do you know of any community of people with unlimited access that take free requests for all files pertaining to a specific case?

@rosewsgf @molly0xfff we have a design for a system that would allow users to vote for docs they want and other users to buy those docs. Haven’t had time to build it.
