Research Tools: Caselaw Access Project Launches “CAP Search” Interface

From the Harvard Law School Library Innovation Laboratory Blog:

Today we’re launching CAP search, a new interface to search data made available as part of the Caselaw Access Project API. Since releasing the CAP API in Fall 2018, this is our first try at creating a more human-friendly way to start working with this data.

CAP search supports access to 6.7 million cases from 1658 through June 2018, digitized from the collections at the Harvard Law School Library. Learn more about CAP search and limitations.

We’re also excited to share a new way to view cases, formatted in HTML. Here’s a sample!
