# CourtListener

Started [in 2009][me], CourtListener.com is the main initiative of [Free Law Project][flp]. The goal of CourtListener.com is to provide high quality legal data and services.

## What's Here

This repository is organized in the following way:

 - cl: the Django code for this project. 99% of everything is in this directory.
 - docker: Where to find compose files and docker files for various components.
 - scripts: logrotate, systemd, etc, and init scripts for our various configurations and daemons.


## Getting Involved

We love volunteers and work with them regularly. If you want to help further our mission of making a better and more fair legal ecosystem, please see our volunteer information page to get started:

Also, please note that we assign every issue to *somebody*, so if you find an issue that looks interesting, just chime in and say you want to take it over. Usually we're happy to hand things off!
