Case Searcher
The full opinion, in plain English.
Search the public record of court opinions the way a lawyer would, filtered to your courts. Open any one of them and it comes broken down: what happened, what the court decided, the rule it applied and why that matters. The whole opinion sits underneath, so you can check every word of it.

Why it matters
A citation you have not read is a citation you cannot use.
The fastest way to lose credibility in a courtroom is to cite a case that does not say what you thought it said. So this gives you the opinion itself, and a plain-English read of it so you can tell what it says.
Real record
Sourced from the public record
Opinions come from CourtListener, the same public database lawyers and journalists use. We did not write them and we cannot edit them.
Your courts
Filtered to where you are
Narrow by state, by court, by date. A case from your own appellate court carries weight a case from across the country does not.
Both at once
The whole opinion, and a plain-English read of it
What happened, what the court decided, the rule it applied and why that matters, in language written for somebody who is not a lawyer. The full text is right there to check it against.
With the rest of the platform
It is also what ParkerGPT reaches for.
Behind your drafts
Every citation ParkerGPT gives you comes from here
The assistant searches this same database and checks each citation against the real opinion before it reaches your draft.
Save it
Save the ones you are building on
Send a case to My Briefcase and it sits with your documents and your saved rules, ready to attach to a chat.
Ask about it
Open any opinion in a conversation
Take a case into ParkerGPT and keep asking. You pick the angle: debt collection defense, FDCPA, or how it could be used as precedent.
