Eliot, Lance, Clamor For More Open Court Records Is Augmented Via AI Beneficial Uses (November 29, 2021). Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3973217 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3973217

“Court records are not quite as openly accessible as you might assume. There are often fees charged to get court records. In addition, court records are oftentimes in disparate formats and it can be costly and arduous to convert them into something more manageable and usable. All in all, there are ongoing calls for making court records more open. Besides using the court records to analyze patterns of justice and injustice, the data can be used for purposes of creating AI-based legal reasoning system.”
