Case law can change at any moment, which means your tried and true case can suddenly become bad law with the latest decision from an appellate court. Never worry whether your case law is in jeopardy with our case citator, TrueSight. TrueSight is attorney reviewed and updated daily to ensure that all of our cases are marked with the right treatment and nuance. We flag our cases with red, orange, or blue so you can quickly scan the page to find the best case. The red flag means the case is no longer good law on some point and will typically be called out as disapproved, overruled, or superseded. The orange flag means the case's precedential value is in dispute and will typically be called out as criticized, disagreed, or declined to follow. And the blue flag means the case is referenced for background legal rules or principles and will typically be called out as discussed or cited. You can see here that each of the cases has a treatment next to it with the number of cases that cite to that case. By clicking on the treatment, you get more information on why it has been flagged and which subsequent decision is responsible for the most critical treatment. You also see how many times it has been cited and when it was last cited. If you ever forget what the color coding means, you can click on the info button next to the TrueSight logo for a guide. Once you have clicked into a case, the flag remains in the top left corner next to the case name. To see all of the cases that have cited to this case, click on the citing case under the flag. The citing cases are automatically organized from the most critical to least critical, but you can sort by date to see the most recent citing cases at the top. For each citing case, you see the level of distinguishment or discussion as well as the flag for the citing case. You can filter your view of cited cases by published cases only, level of analysis, treatment, court, cause of action, procedural posture, disposition, appellant's trial court role, or year. Using the disposition and appellant's trial court role filters are especially helpful to find cases analogous to your own. And of course, you can search within results using keywords. Because of the human touch that all new cases go through, we regularly find case treatments that others miss.
