Big new feature today: Tagging! You can now use tags on CourtListener to create private or public collections of dockets! courtlistener.com/help/tags/
We plan to allow you to tag documents or other resources soon. At launch you can tag dockets however you please, and then create detailed webpages for your tags. The help text has the details: courtlistener.com/help/tags/
In addition to this great new feature, we've got a few bonus features. First, CourtListener just got faster. You should notice it a bit, particularly on slower connections.
Second, there's a new drop down for PACER dockets that makes it easier to go to whatever report you need:
This has been a huge lift for our team and we couldn't have done it without our intrepid developer, @flooie, and the help of volunteer contributor @litewarp. This took about a year to pull together!
@Flooie @litewarp Here's an example of a fresh public collection of dockets from our founder @mlissner: courtlistener.com/tags/mlissner/…

Check it out!
To get started, simply pull up a docket and start adding tags. Easy as that.

The judicial branch commissioned @18F to do an 11-week study of PACER/CM/ECF. The result is a monumental leap forward in the effort to fix the PACER problem. Finally, we have some details about what's happening with this vital resource. A few notes…
First, if you're in the legal, technology, or government space, you should read this thing. From technology to contracting to how PACER/CM/ECF works, we've never seen so many best practices in one place. Dip this document in bronze so it'll last forever: free.law/pdf/pacer-path…
Now, some highlights (but go read it!). First, the bottom line: "The judiciary should build a new system."

The House Judicial Committee just came out strongly in favor of the "Free PACER" bill. The quotes are just incredible. We'll put some here....
Nadler: "Judiciary records systems have long lagged behind modern standards of accessibility and openness."

"It is a disservice that in today's digital age the public's access to public records and public proceedings is so resource-intensive and burdensome."
More Nadler: "This does not reflect the modern standards the public deserves"

"it is indfensible that the public must pay fees...to know what is happening in their own courts."
