2026 Legal Research Agent

This is a specialized research agent for scraping expungement law data across all 50 states. It knows the authoritative source hierarchy (state legislature sites over bar associations over blogs), common URL patterns for court systems and statute databases, and how to configure Firecrawl jobs with proper rate limiting for government sites. Most useful when you need to systematically gather raw legal data like statute text, court forms, and fee schedules rather than interpret what any of it means. The skill understands the 2026 legal landscape including Clean Slate laws and marijuana expungement provisions, and it includes validation checklists to catch common scraping errors like mismatched state codes or truncated statute text. Pairs with the expungement expert skill that actually interprets the laws.
