🎓 Academic program
Academic credits for legal research and teaching
Legal Data Hunter gives researchers, professors, PhD students, and supervised academic projects a way to request additional credits for non-commercial research, teaching, and experimentation.
Who it is for
- Professors and lecturers preparing legal-tech, AI, or comparative-law teaching.
- PhD students and researchers working on law, legal data, AI evaluation, retrieval, or comparative legal systems.
- University labs, clinics, and supervised student projects that need structured access to legal sources.
- Independent researchers may apply, but priority is given to clearly academic or research-oriented work.
What academic credits provide
- Additional usage credits on top of the Free plan.
- Access intended for research, teaching, prototypes, evaluation, and experimentation.
- Works with the same Legal Data Hunter product surface: legal-source search, MCP-compatible access, and API/dashboard access where enabled for the account.
- Reviewed manually so we can understand the research context and avoid abuse.
What it is not
- Not a commercial production plan.
- Not permission to bulk redistribute the LDH database or republish large extracted datasets.
- Not guaranteed access or a fixed credit amount.
- Commercial usage, production usage, or redistribution requires a paid plan or a separate written agreement.
How to apply
- Apply through the Google Form.
- We ask for academic affiliation, research or teaching use case, expected usage, and account email.
- Applications are reviewed manually.
- If approved, credits are added to the relevant account or the applicant is contacted for setup details.
Request academic credits
Use the application form when you have an academic or research-oriented project that needs more room than the Free plan.
- Have your Legal Data Hunter account email ready.
- Describe the research, course, lab, clinic, or supervised project clearly.
- Include the expected usage so we can review the request responsibly.
