Jack Cushman

As a member of the Harvard Library Innovation Lab, Jack Cushman brought Perma.cc to life, an amazing tool that stops legal reference link rot in its tracks. That accomplishment alone makes him a Fastcase legend, but Jack’s career has been peppered by similarly amazing accomplishments in the fight to make the law more accessible. For instance, the Lab’s Caselaw Access Project (in conjunction with Ravel Law) has amassed a digital database of every precedential decision published by a court within the United States, free for research and nonprofit uses. A true renaissance personality, Jack straddles the line between computer development and the practice of law, having worked and lectured in both fields. This spring he will teach Computer Programming for Lawyers at Harvard Law.
