Searching
Search runs over the full text of the corpus. Browse navigates the same material structurally — by court, by jurisdiction, by date — which is the better route when you know roughly where a proposition lives and the worse route when you do not.

Reading a result you intend to rely on
- Open the case, not the snippet. A matched passage is a fragment and fragments mislead.
- Check the court and the date. A first-instance decision from 2011 is not the same authority as an appellate one from last year.
- Check what happened to it. Whether a decision has been appealed, distinguished or overruled is not something a text search tells you.
- Read the surrounding paragraphs, not just the sentence that matched.
The module does not tell you whether a case is still good law. There is no treatment analysis, no flag for a decision that has been overruled, and no negative-history warning. That is a substantial limitation for anyone relying on a result, and it means this is a finding tool rather than a validating one. Verify treatment elsewhere.
What this does not do
Nothing tells you if a case is still good law.
The corpus is caselaw.
No commentary, textbooks or practice notes.
By jurisdiction and by court level. Check before relying.
You cannot subscribe to new decisions on a topic.
