Courtport, LLC, a legal research and technology company, today announced the launch of its free federal court docket retrieval site, FreeCourtDockets.com, which enables anyone to retrieve full court dockets from any U.S. district civil, criminal, or bankruptcy court, as well as from the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Claims, and the U.S. Court of International Trade.
"The public has been voicing their displeasure with the federal government’s unwillingness to provide free access to court dockets for quite some time, and with the support of sponsors, advertisers, and donations, we are happy to provide a solution to this problem." said Paul Bush, CEO and founder of Courtport.
To manage its data costs the site may at times limit how many dockets a user can retrieve in a single day, but no paid subscription or credit card information is required. As advertising revenue continues to increase this limitation will be increased or eliminated. At this time access is granted by invitation only, and anyone can quickly apply for an invitation on the site.
