How it works
Case law research in plain English, end to end
Ask a legal question the way you would say it out loud, let Cases find the on-point precedents, read each headnote card with a summary, the holding, and a real citation, then verify that citation before you rely on it. Here is exactly what happens at every step.
In one paragraph
Cases works by taking a legal question written in plain English (no boolean, no terms and connectors) and searching U.S. federal and state case law for the precedents that actually address it. The on-point cases come back as headnote cards ranked by how relevant they are. Each card gives you a plain-English summary of the case, the holding so you see how the court ruled, and a real citation. You read the point that matters first, decide which cases are worth opening in full, and confirm the citation in the official reporter before you rely on it. Cases is informational research, not legal advice, and it shows you the citation so verifying is trivial. The attorney stays the gatekeeper.
Ask your question in plain English
Type your legal question the way you would say it to a colleague. Describe the issue, the facts, or the rule you are trying to pin down. There is no boolean to write and no terms-and-connectors syntax to build, so you can start researching in seconds instead of learning a query language first.
- Plain-English question in
- No boolean, no connectors
- Describe the issue or facts
- Start in seconds
Cases finds the on-point cases
Cases searches U.S. federal and state case law and returns the precedents that actually address your question, ranked by how on-point they are. Instead of a raw result list you scroll through, you get headnote cards, each one already surfacing the part of the decision that matters to your issue.
- U.S. federal and state case law
- Ranked by relevance
- Headnote cards, not a raw list
- Precedent chain surfaced
Read the headnote, holding, and citation
Each card gives you a plain-English summary of the case, the holding so you see how the court ruled, and the real citation for the decision. You read the point that matters first, then decide which cases are worth opening in full, for example an on-point Supreme Court decision like the sample cite 410 U.S. 113 (1973).
- Plain-English summary
- The holding, so you see the ruling
- Real, checkable citation
- Decide what to open in full
Verify the citation, then rely on it
Cases shows you the citation so you can confirm it in the official reporter before you cite it anywhere. This is informational research, not legal advice, and the attorney stays the gatekeeper. We do not claim to be perfectly hallucination-free; we make verifying trivial so you never take a case on faith.
- Confirm in the official reporter
- Informational, not legal advice
- You stay the gatekeeper
- Always verify the citation
The guardrail
Grounded in real, checkable citations
Every result maps to a real citation we put right on the card, so you can confirm it in the official reporter. Cases is informational research, not legal advice, and you stay the gatekeeper on anything you file.
Plain-English, not boolean
Ask the question the way you would say it out loud. There is nothing to learn, no terms-and-connectors syntax, and no query to debug. Cases reads the question and returns the on-point precedents.
Every citation is checkable
Each headnote card carries the real citation for the decision, so you never take a case on faith. We do not claim to be perfectly hallucination-free, because no legal AI honestly can. We make verifying it trivial.
You stay the gatekeeper
Cases is a starting point, not a substitute for judgment. It finds and summarizes the law faster; you read, confirm the citation in the official reporter, and decide what belongs in a filing.
