Welcome to the Law Data Community
The Law Data Community provides administrative decisions, case filings, legal interpretations and agency directives from the Executive Branch for legal professionals, researchers, the business community and the general public. Legal authorities covering a range of topics such as transportation, health, energy, education, public safety, housing and many others are available. In addition, advisory opinions and interpretations by agency general counsels provide insight into agencies’ current positions on the statutes and regulations they enforce.
Focus on Data
The Law Data Community brings together for the first time many legal datasets that were previously unavailable or not easily discoverable. Administrative decisions by agency heads,boards, and administrative law judges, as well as advisory opinions and legal interpretations by agency general counsels are distributed across various agency websites and can be difficult to discover for the general user. The Law Data Community aims to bring these resources together in a site that is searchable and easy to use so that both legal professionals and citizens can find the legal authorities that cover many essential activities, such as tax law interpretations, government contract claims, public transportation safety, and handling of hazardous materials.
