RECAP Media Recap

Last week, we got our first major media coverage from across the pond, as the Guardian gave us a generous write-up. They call RECAP "an ingenious twist on peer to peer networking" and write that "since the system launched in August, legal circles have been buzzing with support for the idea."

Meanwhile, RECAP continues to generate interest from the legal profession. Earlier this month, RECAP's own Tim Lee spoke to a group of New Jersey lawyers about how the software can save their clients money while expanding access to the public domain. And Arizona Attorney magazine has an in-depth article about RECAP and the debate over public access. They write that "there appears to be nothing illegal about the use of RECAP by those who are paying PACER users" (we agree). And they conclude that we've "carefully thought through the ethical implications and goals of the program." We like to think so. The December issue of Virginia Lawyer magazine profiles RECAP, describing in detail the efforts so far to liberate PACER documents.
