What is OpenCase?
OpenCase delivers an advanced legal information platform designed specifically for legal professionals. By utilizing authoritative datasets from Cornell LII, daily indexes from federal and state court opinions, RECAP dockets, and authenticated PDFs from official government sources, it offers reliable insights into U.S. legal proceedings and statutes.
This platform employs large language model technology to streamline research, allowing users to engage with up-to-date legal information and explore detailed legal documents for education or study. While highly capable, OpenCase is intended for use by trained legal professionals and should not be considered a substitute for independent legal judgment or legal counsel.
