RECAP the law

I'm proud to announce the launch of a new project that I've been working on with my colleagues at Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy.

RECAP is an extension to the popular Firefox web browser that gives PACER users a hassle-free way to contribute to a free, open repository of federal court records. When a RECAP user purchases a document from PACER, the RECAP extension helps her automatically send a copy of that document to the RECAP archive. And RECAP saves its users money by notifying them when documents they’re searching for are already available for free from the public archive.

About

I'm Steve Schultze, and this is an old blog that I no longer maintain. I am the former Associate Director of the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton, former fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard, etc. I currently work at the US Department of State on issues related to Internet Freedom. The opinions here are entirely my own and do not reflect the views of my employers -- current or past. I'm interested in how the Internet affects law and public policy. Please comment, and feel free to email me at steve-at-schultze_com. I tweet at @sjschultze.
