*Casemaker: Research Tool
Casemaker is one of the leading low-cost legal research services available. With intuitive search capabilities, you are able to conduct your legal research quickly and, with your bar membership, at a cost you can afford (free). The Google-like search bar is conveniently located at the top of every page, inviting you to conduct your search using either simple or complex search language.
