<h2>How does H2O work?</h2>
<p>H2O allows professors to develop, remix, and collaborate on digital course materials under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License (per the Terms of Service). This open licensing means that everything in H2O is free to share and re-use for non-commercial purposes as long as proper attribution is applied (which we take care of in the platform).</p>
<p>Powered by a database of 6.5M+ court opinions and an integration with Federal U.S. Code, H2O allows authors to seamlessly integrate these primary legal documents alongside other digital content. Materials faculty can create with H2O include casebooks, syllabi, reading lists, and modules. Final casebooks are available freely online to be easily accessed by students and colleagues, and can be printed from anywhere.</p>
<p>H2O provides access to millions of cases via <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/" target="_blank">CourtListener</a> and the <a href="https://case.law" target="_blank">Caselaw Access Project</a>, and allows authors to seamlessly integrate these primary legal documents alongside other digital content. Materials faculty can create with H2O include casebooks, syllabi, reading lists, and modules. Final casebooks are available freely online to be easily accessed by students and colleagues, and can be printed from anywhere.</p>

<h2>Who can use H2O?</h2>
<p>While our focus right now is supporting law school faculty and students, H2O is a free and open platform. Anybody associated with an educational organization or government entity can sign up and create their own resource or adapt an existing one. An account is not required to read H2O casebooks, which are available to anybody with an internet connection</p>
<p>Over 100 faculty authors have published H2O casebooks to use in their courses. About a third of them are from Harvard Law School - the remaining authors are from institutions across the country and around the world.</p>

<p><i>H2O is built on top of the <a href="https://case.law">Caselaw Access Project</a> - a database of 6.5M+ court opinions freely available online and hosted by the Harvard Law School Library. If you’re including links in your casebook, consider creating a <a href="https://perma.cc">perma.cc</a> link to protect your materials from linkrot.</i></p>
<p><i>H2O is built on the <a href="https://case.law" target="_blank">Caselaw Access Project (CAP)</a> and <a href="https://www.courtlistener.com/" target="_blank">CourtListener</a>. CAP is an initiative by the Harvard Law School Library to make 6.5M+ court opinions freely available online. CourtListener expands on CAP, adding new and up-to-date decisions collected directly from court websites.
