Case Law
Your agent hallucinates case citations; this returns real US court opinions and dockets from CourtListener.
Knowledge & Reference
Searches publicly available US court decisions and legal case law. Look up cases by topic, citation, parties, judge, or court, and retrieve the full text of opinions, case-level records, and procedural dockets. Returns verifiable citations and links to the original source so you can confirm every result.
Use when
You need verifiable US case law to ground a legal citation, read a ruling, or pull a case record instead of trusting a hallucinated cite.
Not for
Legal advice, foreign or international law, statutes and regulations, citation formatting, live court-filing purchases, or confirming a case is still good law.
What you can do
Each is a sub-skill of Case Law; the router picks the right one for your request.
What you get back
information
Returns case results or a single record with the case name, citations, court, filing date, and a courtlistener.com link to verify, plus the full opinion text when an opinion is retrieved. Not a downloadable file.
When it checks with you first
It is unclear whether you want to search for cases, read a specific ruling's text, or pull a case record by identifier.
