# Resource

Resources are websites, articles, or other sources that we think are helpful for understanding the case. This can include in-depth case studies, law review articles discussing the case, or websites that post litigation documents beyond what we save in the Clearinghouse.

Each resource url endpoint returns a list of resources, where each resource is a JSON dictionary.
