Who needs this information

The legal framework information is designed for:

• legal and compliance teams reviewing licensing terms
• developers implementing technical integrations
• anyone requiring precise legal definitions and conditions

If you just want to understand permissions in more detail, visit What you can do freely or When you need permission instead.

The Open Justice Licence

The Open Justice Licence contains the complete legal terms governing the use of Find Case Law judgments, including:

• what uses are permitted
• conditions and restrictions
• attribution requirements
• what the licence does not permit (computational analysis)

The Open Justice Licence is the formal legal framework that underpins free use of judgments on Find Case Law, including commercial use.

Computational analysis licences

If you need to perform computational analysis, separate licensing terms will apply specific to your use case. These licences are assessed individually based on your application.

Plain English explanations

While the Open Justice Licence contains necessary legal detail, we provide plain English explanations throughout the Permissions and Licensing pages to help everyone understand what they can do.

The detailed legal terms are here when you need them, but you don't need to read legal text to understand your permissions for common uses.
