Why This Matters
Relevance labels,
not black-box scores
Most legal search tools return a relevance score — a number with no context. We show you why a case matched: the specific legal issue, factual similarity, or analogous reasoning that makes it relevant to your query.
Similar issue
The case addresses the same legal question you raised. Directly on-point authority.
Similar facts
The factual situation closely parallels your client's circumstances. Useful for persuasive authority.
Similar outcome
The case reached a comparable outcome or disposition. Useful for sentencing and remedy arguments.
