The Fastcase database provides access to a growing collection of federal and state cases, statutes, regulations, court rules, constitutions, attorney general opinions and selected agency decisions. It also provides access to selected law reviews and a newspaper archive. Its Briefs, Pleadings, Motions, and Orders sections includes a growing collection of federal and state court filings.
N.B.: Academic subscriptions do not include access to dockets, PACER, legal forms, or most treatises. Online chat assistance also available.
Casemaker, another popular low-cost option for legal research, has merged with Fastcase.
Every state bar association, and many metro, county, and specialty bar associations, offer Fastcase as a free bar member benefit.
Casetext is a database that contains federal cases and statutes, as well as state cases and statutes above the trial court level. It includes red flags on cases that are no longer good law, links to cited cases, and black letter law cases containing points of law that have been settled.
Casetext is free to Berkeley Law students. Sign up for an account at Casetext for Law School.
Last year, Casetext introduced Co-Counsel, a generative AI product used mainly by law firms. Co-counsel is not part of the Casetext platform that is available to law students.
