Casemaker Previews New Digest Service

By Robert J. Ambrogi

The legal research service <a href="http://www.lawriter.net/">Casemaker</a> has launched a new case-digest service providing summaries of the most recent cases decided by the courts. Called <a href="http://www.casemakerdigest.com/">CASEMAKERdigest</a>, this initial roll-out of the service covers only state and federal courts in Texas. Eventually, it will cover all 50 states.<br /><br />The service provides summaries of cases soon after the cases become available. Summaries are listed by date and can be sorted by area of practice, court, judge and jurisdiction. They can also be searched by key word. Additionally, a user can subscribe to an RSS feed that shows the 50 most recent cases published on the site.<br /><br />The service is offered free for a trial period of 30 days. After the trial runs out, the service will be offered for a subscription price of $39.95 a year.<br /><br />Casemaker General Manager Steven Newsom <o:p>says that the company is investing heavily to hire highly experienced staff to write the summaries. The company also plans to launch a citator product to flag whether cases in its legal research database remain good law. </o:p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3958829-5122507357261665705?l=www.legaline.com%2Flawsites.html'/></div>
