CASE MAKER TIPS 11.8.2017

Keyword Searching
The most basic Casemaker search is the keyword search. It can also be the most complex if you wish – just use the search operators found in the blue Search Tips link under the Search button. To search first select your jurisdiction from the jurisdiction menu, then type in your word or words in the search bar and hit the blue search button. The keyword search can be found in other places as well. When you are viewing the list of cases you discovered in a previous search you can narrow that search by keyword in the left menu. If you are looking at a list of citing references you can also narrow that list by keyword on the citing references page.
The radio button selections below Casemaker search bar defaults to keyword. You may find that you can still enter things that are not keywords and get results, however, they may not be as accurate. You certainly can leave keyword selected and enter in a case citation – but you may get more than just the result you were seeking. In those cases, you may wish to choose a more specific search type.
 
Additional Security Option

Casemaker takes pride in being safe and secure – but we understand if you would like another layer of security. This is why we give you the option to add an additional password to Casemaker. Simply click Setup Password in the My Accounts section of Casemaker. Here you will be able to set a password and security question to further secure your research and notes. You will be asked to enter this password after you login to Casemaker via your Bar. If the password is not entered or entered incorrectly, your history, folders, clients, and personalization will not be available.
 
Video Learning
While Casemaker offers regular live webinar training, you may find that you are unable to attend those sessions. You can learn how to use Casemaker at any time with our recording videos.  In the upper right corner of the Casemaker screen is a link labeled Videos. Here you will find our Introductory Training Video as well as other informative presentations available 24 hours a day.
