Public court records, made legible.
A long-running project to collect and analyze publicly available court records, building an accessible data portal to power research and analysis. County by county: which indigent-defense system serves it, what gets spent per capita against state and national averages, and how court activity and attorney caseloads stack up against guidelines. The work has already surfaced noteworthy trends in Texas’ court systems.
