In short
Legal research for paralegals means running down the on-point cases quickly and accurately so the attorney can rely on your work product. Cases is legal research for paralegals that starts from a plain-English question: describe the issue and it returns on-point U.S. federal and state precedents as headnote cards, each with a plain-English summary, the holding, and a real citation you can hand to the attorney. Because you are not building a boolean query and reading down a long result list, you assemble the relevant precedents in minutes and spend your time on the memo rather than the search. Each result carries a citation you confirm in the official reporter, which is exactly the verification an attorney expects before anything goes in a filing. Cases is informational research, not legal advice, so the attorney stays the gatekeeper and reviews and verifies what you provide. Always verify the citation.
