Case Precedent Map
Case Map
See how the authorities in a matter connect, instead of reading them as a flat list.
Enter a case name and the tool builds a network of related authorities, which helps identify the case that actually carries the reasoning versus those cited for context.
Relationships are generated, not retrieved from a citator. Verify treatment, including whether an authority has been overruled, distinguished or doubted, before relying on the map.
How to use it
- 1Enter the case name.
- 2Review the precedent network and the relationship labels.
- 3Confirm current treatment in a citator before relying on any node.
What it does not do
- Not a citator: does not track subsequent judicial treatment.
- Cannot show that an authority was overruled or distinguished later.
- Relationship labels are inferred.
Output is AI-generated. Check every case, section and quotation against the primary source before you rely on it or file it.
Common questions
- Is a case map the same as a citator?
- No. A citator reports how later courts treated an authority. A case map shows relationships between authorities. Use a citator to confirm an authority is still good law.
