Reporters Database (Free Law Project)
Machine-readable database of U.S. legal reporters and their citation abbreviations, powering case-citation parsers like eyecite.
Reporters Database
A structured, machine-readable database of U.S. legal reporters — the volumes in which court opinions are published. It maps each reporter's canonical name, its many citation abbreviations and variant spellings, the courts and date ranges it covers, and its edition lineage. This is the reference data that citation parsers rely on to recognize and normalize case citations like "410 U.S. 113," and it powers the Free Law Project's eyecite tooling.
Key features
- Canonical names, abbreviations and known variant spellings for U.S. reporters
- Court, jurisdiction and date-range coverage metadata per reporter
- Edition and reporter-lineage relationships for citation disambiguation
- Clean JSON distributed as a versioned package, easy to load anywhere
