Your files and the public law, in one conversation.

Keep a project private or share it with your firm.

An AI associate that knows your case.

Remember, research, verify, deliver and keep watch, one job at a time.

Remember

It remembers the case, so you don’t repeat it.

CaseRead remembers a project’s parties, key dates, positions and decisions across conversations. Import from Google Drive or OneDrive, or upload to your vault.

Research

It reads your files and the public law together.

Ask in plain English. CaseRead searches your project files and the public law together and cites both. Deep research mode adds a web search pass before it answers. Slower, more thorough.

  • Statutes and regulations for federal law, all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico, pulled live from OpenLaws.
  • Case law from CourtListener. Federal material from eCFR, the Federal Register and GovInfo.
Verify

Two checks on every citation.

Does the source exist, and does it support the claim? Paste a brief or drop in the file. The Hallucination Shield checks up to 50 citations per run, from pasted text or a PDF, Word or scanned document.

Deliver

It drafts where you write.

Edit Word documents in the browser, where AI revisions arrive as tracked changes. Or stay in Word itself: CaseRead for Word puts research, drafting, review and cite-checking in a side panel.

Keep watch

It tells you when a statute you relied on changes.

CaseRead watches the statutes your research relied on and tells you when one changes. It pulls the dates a document states onto your calendar for you to confirm, then sends them to Google Calendar.
