Be extra confident in your work product by checking the citations in your briefs, pleadings and other documents! Simply upload your Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, plain text or searchable PDF document, and Citecheck will analyze every citation, providing you with a report of good law, negative treatments, and potential citation format errors.
Casemaker’s negative citator, CaseCheck+, rivals the citator functionality found on the leading high cost legal research systems, enabling you to know instantly if the case you’re reading is still good law.
CaseCheck+ returns negative treatments instantly as you research. You can link to negative treatments and quickly review the citation history for both state and federal cases. CaseCheck+ works seamlessly to identify whether or not a case has been treated negatively by subsequent cases. If there is no negative treatment you will see a green thumbs up (

“I just wanted to say thank you for developing CasemakerPro. It is user friendly and the feature enabling the user to check whether or not case law is still “good” is fantastic. Also, the ability to search within your search allows the user to quickly narrow their search.”
