Click here for an in-depth look at the changes in the new Fastcase interface. The Fastcase interface includes:
- Briefs, Pleadings, Motions and Orders
Users can now access hundreds of millions of Briefs, Pleadings, Motions and Orders provided by Docket Alarm (a Fastcase company). Now Fastcase users can access Docket Alarm’s 400+ million documents. - Ground-up Redesign of User Interface
Users have given a lot of feedback about Fastcase 7’s user interface. Fastcase listened. This release provides a full redesign of the entire interface. The biggest improvement: Fastcase now looks great on all screens — from 27-inch retina monitors down to the smallest phone. - Authority Check
Finding a case’s status — or documents that cite to a statute or court rule — just became easier with the newly redesigned Authority Check. Simply click on a document’s flag to see other documents that cite to it. Fastcase separated the algorithmically determined Negative Treatment, making it quicker and easier to determine a document’s authority and status.
