Harvard Law School, with the support of Ravel Law, a legal research and analytics platform, is digitizing its entire collection of U.S. case law, one of the largest collections of legal materials in the world. It will make the collection available online, for free, to anyone with an Internet connection.
Ravel Law is a new legal search, analytics, and visualization platform. Ravel enables lawyers to find, contextualize, and interpret information that turns legal data into legal insights. Ravel’s array of powerful tools – which include data-driven, interactive visualizations and analytics – transforms how lawyers understand the law and prepare for litigation. In today’s global and increasingly digital world, Ravel empowers attorneys to benefit from this huge influx of information and find value in it.
