Our Title IX Lawsuits Database continues to improve with each monthly expansion. Our fifth expansion has just been implemented.

In the past, we’ve mentioned the paradox of working with larger datasets: the more data is available, the less accessible the data is if tools are not implemented to increase efficiency in finding the data the user is looking for. With this in mind, we’ve added a simple option for users to “save” or “favorite” cases they wish to track as well as add whatever notes they think necessary for their own research purposes.

Each time a user saves a lawsuit, a unique saved note – viewable and editable only by the user creating it – will be attached to that lawsuit. Users can view all their saved lawsuits and notes in a new “Saved Lawsuits & Notes” section accessible via the sub-menu.

In the main lawsuits spreadsheet which lists all tracked lawsuits, users can also now click a link at the end of each lawsuit to save it:

Lastly, each lawsuit’s “Details” page (the page containing all the info we have on record about a given lawsuit) also has a section dedicated to saving the lawsuit and listing any of the user’s saved notes for that lawsuit. An example is pictured below in the Details page for Hemington v. Arizona Board of Regents et al:

• March 2019 – expansion of Judges records, various user interface updates
• February 2019 – expanded to also track lawsuits on dating violence, sexual exploitation, stalking, and sexual harassment
• January 2019 – expansion of Courts records
• December 2018 – creation of a changelog
