midpage caselaw

Midpage Caselaw is a tool that allows you to interact with US case law. It's like having a personal legal research assistant that can access and analyze court cases for you. It can be particularly useful if you're a lawyer, law student, or just someone interested in legal matters.

How to use:

• Step 1: Start by asking a question or stating a legal proposition. For instance, you might ask about a specific case by providing its citation, or you might state a legal principle and cite a case that you believe supports it. |||
• Step 2: The plugin will then access the full text of the case you've cited. If the case is too long, it will extract relevant quotes instead. |||
• Step 3: If you've stated a legal proposition, the plugin will check if it's supported by the text of the case. It will provide 1-3 verbatim quotes from the case that support or undermine your proposition. |||
• Step 4: Based on the full text of the case and the extracted quotes, the plugin will assess the accuracy of your proposition. |||
• Step 5: If you've only provided a case citation without a proposition, the plugin will ask you if you have specific questions about the case. |||
• Step 6: You can also use the plugin to search for cases that are relevant to a specific query. You can filter the search by date, jurisdiction, and other criteria. |||

Remember, the plugin provides accurate and verbatim quotations from the case law, but it's always a good idea to review the legal information yourself or consult with a legal professional.
