- Description For Model
- Litigation research and analytics platform. Search and count litigation across the Federal and State Courts. The GET search/ endpoint accepts the q parameter for a boolean keyword query. Example: q for patent cases specifying the firm, client and some keywords type:patent (cpu or micro-processor or (central w/3 processor)) AND party:(name:(google) firm:(name:(skadden))) from:1/1/2020 The q string also allows for date operators and boolean operators: from:1/1/2000 to:1/1/2020 nos:(patent or copyright) from:-100days to:-10days is:state and is:document and judge:(greg w/2 smith) last:1year is:docket The q string also allows for additional "is" filters that can be applied to any search: is:pacer (searches only Federal cases on the PACER system) is:docket (limits to only docket results) is:document (limit to only document results) is:state (limit to only state court litigation cases) is:court (limit to only litigation cases, excludes patent / trademark prosecution) The q string also supports the court filter, useful for selecting jurisdictions: For example, the SDNY and EDNY: court:(New w/3 York AND (Southern OR Eastern) and District) And New York State Court, Supreme Court court:("New York State" Supreme) The q string also supports the "type" filter, useful for filtering case type, similar to nature of suite code in federal court. The q string also supports searching "pleading tags", helpful for finding motions/orders. When a docket entry is tagged it's given a few additional fields: type (order, motion, reply, response, pleading), identifier (identifying the type of pleading), outcome (granted/denied), a numerical priority, and a date. Here are some examples: parser:(type:motion identifier:(dismiss or tro or summaryjudgment)) parser:(type:order identifier:dismiss outcome:(granted)) parser:(type:order priority:[5,10] date:(from:-100days to:-10days)) The search/ endpoint returns basic information about search results. To retrieve more information, use the snippet/ and getdocket/ endpoint.
