information on all 32,000+ texts, 130 million words The texts were taken from

Justia. We also compared our list against the
information from Cornell University to make sure that there were no
missing texts. We have also downloaded the metadata from the
Supreme Court Database
(Washington Univ) to make sure that there are no other missing cases,
and the metadata from that site will be integrated into our databases
soon. |
