Casemaker Tips for 9.7.2016

You can always go home again! Click on the Home link in the upper right or the Casemaker logo in the upper left and you will be returned to the home page where you can find links to materials for all 50 states and federal jurisdictions, information about features, and links to archived statutes and acts.  

How often do you need to reference laws? More than once a year right? Once a bill is signed into law, Casemaker's editors obtain the legislation and work it into the existing code or compilation. They are constantly reviewing and updating the data to ensure currency and accuracy. Casemaker Statutes are continuously updated rather than just once a year! Just one more reason Casemaker is a valued member benefit!

You got called away from your desk and when you came back and you were logged out of Casemaker. This is normal. Casemaker will log you out after a period of inactivity to help protect your privacy. But do not worry, you can get back to what you were researching! Log back into Casemaker via the bar website. Once you are in the Casemaker system click on "History" in the upper right. This will provide you with a complete history of all the searches you’ve created, and documents you’ve viewed since logging into the Casemaker system. Each item in the History comes complete with a date and time stamp, as well as a client label if you performed it while logged in to a client. You can find what you were doing in Casemaker before lunch or last week! If you would like you can clear your history at time by using the drop down menu at the top right of your history list.
