Data Coverage — What's in CourtListener?

CourtListener is a vast searchable collection of legal information.

We have millions of case law records including a detailed collection of SCOTUS opinions, tens of millions of PACER docket entries in the RECAP Archive, and the largest collection of oral argument recordings available on the Internet, with 3,243,834 minutes of recordings (and counting).

The best way to think about our data is to consider where we get it from. The answer to that question depends on which kind of information you are interested in — PACER data (the RECAP Archive), case law, oral argument recordings, or financial disclosures.


PACER Data (The RECAP Archive)

The RECAP Archive is the biggest open collection of federal court data on the Internet. It contains hundreds of millions of docket entries, nearly every federal case, and millions of documents. It grows by thousands of documents each day. See our page on this topic for more details.
