Sam Harden

Due to a strongly held belief in increasing public access to legal services, Sam Harden decided to step away from practicing law in 2016 to advance his skills in coding and data analytics. Soon thereafter, he launched three Internet-based platforms: courtdatesearch.com, mycourtcase.org, and legaloptics.com. Sam saw that one key way to innovate in the law was to understand that legal data can be a product in itself, and that data can empower new applications and better decision making. By retooling the way litigants access court data, Sam established a method to allow users to locate, understand, and select the best method of pursuing legal actions and retaining counsel.
