A new initiative called Habeas Dockets is working to make critical court records related to immigration cases accessible to the public. These records, primarily habeas corpus petitions, are currently difficult to access online due to a 2007 court rule that limits electronic viewing. The project, founded by John Kyle Cronan, relies on a network of over 400 volunteers, including law students and paralegals, to retrieve and publish these documents online, often redacting sensitive information.
