On point
How it works
How does AI legal research work?
You ask a question in plain English. Casesearch reads the opinions and hands you cited cases, plain-language holdings, the controlling statute, and a still-good-law signal. Then you read the opinion and verify before you rely on it.
In short
AI legal research works by reading your plain-English question, searching a body of court opinions and statutes for the authorities that answer it, and returning them as a ranked list of real, citable cases with plain-language holdings. Casesearch adds a treatment signal that shows whether each case is still good law, surfaces the controlling statute alongside the cases, and shows you the source for every answer so you verify before you rely. It is a research accelerator, not legal advice.
The workflow
Ask, search, cited results, verify
Step 01
Ask
Type a real legal question the way you would ask a senior associate, for example, can a non-compete be enforced against a remote contractor in California. No Boolean syntax, no proximity operators, no query language to memorize.
Step 02
Search
Casesearch reads court opinions and statutes and finds the authorities that actually answer your question, federal and state, ranked by how on point each one is to your issue and jurisdiction.
Step 03
Cited results
Every answer is a stack of real, citable authorities: case name, reporter citation, court, and year, each with a plain-language holding, a relevance score, and a Followed, Questioned, or Overruled treatment signal. The controlling statute appears alongside.
Step 04
Verify and export
You read the full opinion from any card, confirm the citation, and turn the answer into a one-click research memo, question, short answer, authorities, holdings, ready to drop into a brief. You stay the lawyer.

The guardrail
We show the sources. You verify, then rely.
Studies have found that general AI legal tools still hallucinate citations on a meaningful share of queries. That is why Casesearch never hands you an unsourced essay. Every answer is a list of real authorities you can open and read, with the citation, the court, and the holding in front of you. The treatment signal flags when a case is questioned or overruled. You read the opinion and confirm the citation before you put it in a brief, the same standard you would hold an associate to.
Casesearch is a legal research tool, not legal advice. Always read the full opinion and verify citations before relying on them.
