Free Law Project Receives "Le Hackie" Award from D.C. Legal Hackers for PACER Research and Blogging

On Tuesday we were proud and humbled to receive a Le Hackie award from the D.C. Legal Hackers group for a top ten legal hack of the year:

We're honored and humbled to get a Le Hackie award last night from @DCLegalHackers for our PACER research! Wish we could have been there!

The "hack" that we received this award for was our series of blog posts about PACER:

• How Much Money Does PACER Make?

• The Cost of PACER Data? Around One Billion Dollars.

• Downloading Important Cases on PACER Costs More than a Brand New Car

• What is a "Page" of PACER Content?

And our older pieces:

• What is the "PACER Problem"?

• What Should be Done About the PACER Problem?

D.C. Legal Hackers is an amazing group, and we're really proud to get this award from them.
