Description

What is the Feature?

A collection of practical tutorials and workshop curriculum materials demonstrating how to use Free Law Project's citator and embed APIs for AI-powered legal research. For example, step-by-step guides for building research tools like multi-agent frameworks for legal research and memo writing.

What Problem Might it Solve?

When citator and semantic search APIs become available, we will need to explain how to effectively implement them for legal research. Users need practical examples and guidance to understand how to integrate these tools into their research workflow.

Describe a Scenario in Which the Feature Might be Used

A law professor wants to run a workshop on modern legal research tools. They would use our prepared curriculum and tutorials to teach students how to build simple applications using our APIs, demonstrating practical applications of AI in legal research.

Technical Requirements

  • How hard is it to make, subjectively? Easy
  • Best guess, how long would it take to make, roughly? 4-6 weeks
  • What would it require that we do technically?
    • Write clear, step-by-step tutorials
    • Create example code repositories
    • Develop workshop materials (slides, exercises)
    • Document common use cases and best practices
    • Create sample projects demonstrating API integration

Existing Systems or Alternatives?

Courtlistener already provides basic API documentation to its existing API endpoints. There aren't comprehensive, open-source tutorials focused on building practical legal research tools with AI capabilities.

Any Additional Information?

  • Would help drive API adoption through practical education
  • Could start with basic tutorials and gradually add more advanced use cases
  • Workshop materials could be easily adapted by law schools
  • Would demonstrate practical applications of our APIs
  • Could include sample projects that showcase different levels of complexity
