The Verge is going all-in on this, and is sponsoring the bot financially as well — The bot will buy all of the filings in the cases it follows. These docs are part of our cultural heritage (for better or worse), and The Verge is making sure they are not locked up. Bravo.

CourtListener's citation tool just got an upgrade. Paste in whatever citation you want and it'll sort it out for you.

It can handle just about any legal citation you can throw at it. Try it:

The Big Cases bot is live again, here and on Twitter! Here's the past, the present and the future of the bot: https://free.law/2023/03/28/relaunching-big-cases-and-bots-dot-law

A few notes:

1. We're looking for sponsors to help maintain the bot and pay its PACER fees: https://bots.law/big-cases/sponsors/

2. Soon, you can create Little Bots that follow other topics like immigration law, IP, or crypto. Propose a bot here: https://bots.law/little-cases/

3. Bots for Slack, Discord, MS Teams, and Google Chat are coming! https://bots.law/collaboration/

We're proud to endorse Senator Merkley's bill to ensure that SCOTUS nominees are efficiently vetted regardless of who controls the Senate Judiciary Committee.

It works like this: If a nominee is held up in committee, the bill allows the minority party to force the nom. to the full Senate. Simple as that and applies equally to all parties.
