We joined Reddit and made a sub-reddit for FLP. We're figuring out what to post, but one idea is to share new micro-features and fixes that aren't worth putting on our blog, but are still worth talking about. Here's the first such post. Are we doing this right? www.reddit.com/r/freelawpro...

For legal professionals, it's easy to find court records. For the rest of us, we're screwed. And that's where Court Listener (and the Free Law Project, its tiny parent non-profit) comes in. Their code is all open source. Everything they gather, they give away. github.com/freelawproject
