LiveSee how cases cite each other — trace a doctrine forward and back.
- ✓Forward + backward citation chains
- ✓Distinguished / overruled flags
- ✓Per-doctrine subgraph filters
- ✓PNG / PDF export for argument briefs
What it is.
Every judgment is a node; every citation is an edge. The graph lets you see which earlier cases were cited, which later cases cited this one, and how a doctrine evolved across courts and decades.
Useful for advocates building an argument from precedent, and for partners checking whether a cited case has been distinguished or overruled in a later decision.
Three steps.
End to end.
Open any judgment in the research corpus.
Backward to earlier cases this one cited; forward to later cases that cite this one.
Cases marked as distinguished, overruled, or per-incuriam are flagged in the graph.
What you get.
