In short
Online legal research is the practice of finding and reading case law through a web platform rather than a physical library or a locally installed system. Cases is an online legal research platform that runs in your browser: you ask a legal question in plain English and it searches U.S. federal and state case law, returning the on-point precedents as headnote cards with a summary, the holding, and a real citation. Coverage spans the U.S. Supreme Court, the federal circuits, and state appellate decisions, and we state that scope honestly so you always know what you are searching. Because it is self-serve and transparently priced, you can start today without a sales call, a quote, or a multi-year contract, which sets it apart from the enterprise research suites. Cases is informational research, not legal advice, and it does not claim to be 100 percent hallucination-free, so it shows you the citation and you verify each case in the official reporter before relying on it.

Questions buyers ask
Online research, answered
Is this legal advice?
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.
Are the citations real? Does it invent cases?
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.
What does it cost compared to Westlaw and LexisNexis?
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.
What law does it cover?
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.
Do I need to know boolean or terms and connectors?
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.
