Students and professors use Legis1 for classroom work, coursework research, and hands-on learning about how Congress, lobbying, and the legislative process actually function.
Bring real congressional data into the classroom. Students engage with live legislation, actual lobbying disclosures, and real member profiles instead of textbook abstractions.
Students track bills, research lawmakers, and analyze lobbying activity for papers and projects — building the same skills used by practitioners on Capitol Hill.
Follow a bill through every stage — introduction, committee markup, floor debate, and passage — with the full cast of lawmakers, staff, and lobbyists involved.
Students preparing for careers on Capitol Hill or in government affairs get firsthand exposure to the directories, networks, and intelligence tools used by professionals every day.
Run mock markups, lobbying campaigns, and legislative strategy exercises grounded in actual congressional data, giving students real-world context for every decision.
From intro to American government to advanced legislative process seminars, Legis1 provides the primary source data that makes political science tangible and relevant.
Current legislation, hearings, lobbying disclosures, and member profiles — the same data practitioners use every day.
Study how Congress has changed over time with decades of legislation, staffing, lobbying, and contribution records.
Connect lawmakers to their staff, lobbyists to their clients, and witnesses to the legislation they have influenced.

"My students are working with the same data that lobbyists and congressional staff use. There is no better way to teach how the Hill actually works."
