FAQ
Legal research questions, answered
Whether this is legal advice, whether the citations are real, what case law it covers, how plain-English search works, what it costs next to Westlaw and Lexis, and how private your research stays. The honest answers attorneys, paralegals, and students ask for first.
No. Cases is an informational legal research tool, not a lawyer and not a substitute for one. Every result is a starting point you review and verify, and the attorney stays the gatekeeper. Use it to find and understand cases faster, then confirm anything you rely on.
Every result maps to a real, checkable citation, and we show you that citation so you can confirm it in the official reporter. We do not claim to be 100 percent hallucination-free, because no legal AI honestly can. What we do is make verification trivial: the citation is right there on the card, so you never have to take a case on faith.
Cases is transparent, self-serve monthly pricing that starts at 29 dollars per month, with no sales call, no quote, and no multi-year contract. Westlaw, Lexis, and Bloomberg typically run from 150 to 700 dollars or more per seat each month and are quote-only. You can start today and cancel anytime.
Cases covers U.S. federal and state case law. That includes U.S. Supreme Court, the federal circuits, and state appellate decisions. We state coverage honestly rather than implying it covers everything, so you always know what you are searching.
No. You ask in plain English, the way you would describe the issue to a colleague. There are no boolean operators to learn and no terms-and-connectors syntax to build. Cases reads the question and returns the on-point precedents.
Cases is built for solo and small-firm attorneys, paralegals, law students and clinics, in-house counsel, and self-represented (pro se) litigants. It is for anyone who needs to find and read the right case quickly without an enterprise research contract.
Yes. Cases is self-serve with no lock-in and no multi-year commitment. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel whenever you want. That is the opposite of the long contracts the incumbents are known for.
Yes. We do not share or sell your searches, and your research is yours. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. See the privacy policy for the full detail on how your data is handled and retained.
One plain-English question surfaces on-point cases with the summary and holding already on the card, so finding the right precedent takes minutes rather than the hours often lost reading down a boolean result list. You still read and verify each case; you just start from the right place.
Cases is focused, plain-English, and honestly priced. Westlaw, Lexis, and Bloomberg are powerful enterprise suites that are quote-only and expensive per seat. Casetext was absorbed into Westlaw and repriced upward. Harvey is enterprise-only. Cases does one job well, find the on-point precedent, summarize it, and give you a citation you can verify, as transparent self-serve pricing for solos, small firms, and students.
