Federal civil litigation in US district courts — everything not captioned United States v. .... The largest categories are prisoner civil rights and habeas petitions, then civil rights employment, product liability and contract.

No API key.

What this is, and what it is not

Docket metadata: that a case exists, its parties, court, docket number, filing and termination dates, and assigned judge. It contains no filings — no complaints, motions, briefs or orders. Those are RECAP, a separate corpus that is not keyless.

An agent with this data knows a case was brought. It does not know what anyone argued.

Tools

Caveats

• Quarterly snapshot. Every response carries snapshot_date.
• date_terminated is 78.3% filled, so a missing date means not recorded, never still open. Responses say which.
• nature_of_suit is sparse — 14.8% corpus-wide, 30.5% in district courts. This can tell you a company is in federal court; it often cannot tell you what for.
• Party search matches a substring of the case caption, so a distinctive party name works better than a full caption.
