SALT LAKE CITY – November 25, 2024 – Today, SixFifty releases Phase 1 of its Employment Law Informatics Project (ELIP), an effort to catalog, summarize, and encode the logic of every employment law in the United States. Phase 1 covers over 100 employment law topics across every state and major locality in the country. Attorneys at SixFifty researched each topic, drafted plain-language summaries, and labeled and coded the entries. Users can search the data by (1) filtering and sorting the information by a variety of fields or (2) using a generative AI-powered search to query the data.
“Employment law is an enormous legal area, and it is expanding every year,” said Kimball Dean Parker, CEO of SixFifty. “Our hope is to organize the legal information in a way that makes it easier for academics to study the area and for businesses to understand it.”
SixFifty is providing academic institutions access to ELIP for free in hopes that it will have a similar academic impact as other informatics projects like the Comparative Constitutions Project. “Employment law affects the lives of hundreds of millions of people in the United States. It is an area of law that warrants rigorous study and examination and we want our dataset to help illuminate the topic,” said Kimball Dean Parker.
The data from ELIP powers SixFifty’s Research Center, which allows users to look up employment laws throughout the nation. Later phases of the project involve expanding the dataset into more areas of employment law, covering smaller localities, and allowing for APIs and other connectors into the information.
