Holding summary

Procedural posture

Opinion text

Paste plain text. Paragraph breaks are preserved. You can add or replace text later.

Import cases

Import a JSON file in the Casebank format (an array of case records, or a full Casebank export). Existing cases with the same id are updated; annotations are merged. Use this for bulk loads from CourtListener sweeps.

Tidy opinion text on import — reflow PDF hard wraps into paragraphs and strip page stamps, star pagination and page numbers. The untouched original is kept and can be restored per case.

Already imported cases that still look wrong can be fixed in place. Annotations are carried onto the new text.

Find duplicates

Matches on CourtListener cluster id, citation, and name plus decision date. The copy holding your annotations, notes and opinion text is always the one kept; the others are merged into it and removed. Nothing is erased — removals can be undone.

Sweep CourtListener

Checks the six anchor cases and six keyword queries for opinions filed since your last sweep. Discovery only — opinion text is fetched afterwards, for the cases you keep.

Sync & settings

The Casebank is local-first: everything lives on this device and works offline. Optionally connect a Firebase project to sync across devices. You can paste the config exactly as Firebase gives it to you. See the README for setup steps.
