As they work, they will publish their findings via our website as a series of blog posts or formal reference papers.</p> <p>After a discovery and definition process, the successful candidate will shift their work to system design, using approaches such as paper prototypes, low-res prototypes, and wireframes. At this stage, the candidate will team up with developers to create a prototype of the system, iteratively refining the prototype based on continuous user research.</p> <p>In addition, the person in this role may be called upon to help guide the design of our existing systems, CourtListener.com, Bots.law, and RECAP.</p> <p>They will work closely with the Executive Director and Advisory Committee to ensure that the project is on track.

If successful, this project will collect millions of documents and make them freely available to the public.</p> <p>The second initiative is to finally audit and complete our case law database. For the first time in history, thanks to the tireless work of innumerable people, a free, audited, and complete collection of case law is possible.

Like Wikipedia, once this is done, it'll never need to be done again.</p> <p>If these projects are successful, we hope to hire you as a full time employee.</p> <p>We're looking for somebody that has deep experience in the following:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Languages: Python, SQL</p> </li> <li> <p>Database: Modeling, PostgreSQL</p> </li> <li> <p>APIs: Django REST Framework, Django ORM & migrations</p>

developing extensions for Chrome or Firefox</p> </li> <li> <p>A degree from a law school, school of information, or school of library science (or similar experience)</p> </li> <li> <p>A gnawing
