A good summary of @CaseViewerApp, courtesy of Claude Code, based just on its review of the codebase:

[Ben Eidelson @beidelson]

@CaseViewerApp, unlike its creator, is very impressed with Justice Gorsuch’s opinion in the tariffs case.

Here's a quick video of the new Table of Contents feature in Case Viewer — now available for Mac, iPad, and iPhone (https://t.co/jBpXDwWYm6).

It extracts the opinion's actual heading structure, uses an LLM to make descriptive section labels, and maps the argument structure too.

Amazingly useful time-saving and even fun tool for legal nerds.

A fantastic resource that I use regularly 👇

[Stephen E. Sachs @StephenESachs]

I’ve been using pre-launch versions of this for a while, highly recommended.

[Sherif Girgis @sherifgirgis]

This is awesome--well, well worth it.

[Case Viewer @CaseViewerApp]

If @CaseViewerApp isn't working, download the latest update (0.9.6) from within the app & it should be fixed. (There's a server outage for @CaselawAccess, and a bug in Case Viewer's handling of that error was making all searches fail as a result.)

[Case Viewer @CaseViewerApp]

New in 0.9.5 (early channel):
• Distinct search modes for cases and statutes (switch with Tab key)
• Tooltips with case question and panel information
• Improved find interface

[Case Viewer @CaseViewerApp]

If you use @CaseViewerApp, enable the 'early channel' in the dropdown menu to try a new update (0.9.4) that adds informative tooltips to most links to cases & statutes (with more info to come someday—suggestions welcome)

[Case Viewer @CaseViewerApp]

Thanks for the support! (misspelling is the fault of AI, not @DanEpps 😀)

NEW EPISODE: "Radical Agreement"

After taking listener Qs, we look at the shadow docket opinions in Labrador, dealing w/ universal relief, emergency applications, + more.

Then, 2 merits opinions: Devillier (takings) and Muldrow (Title VII).

[Tommy Bennett @tommy_bennett]

How do we live in a world where the best native legal research app on Windows, Mac, or iOS is @beidelson's @CaseViewerApp? No shade at all to that truly excellent product, but that's one guy doing a side gig. This is a multibillion dollar market!

[Case Viewer @CaseViewerApp]

New in 0.9.3 (likely final pre-semester update):

— recognize and merge Google & SCOTUS slip op results (like with Google & LOC results)
— 40% faster case loading
— misc. UI improvements
— bug fixes

[Ben Eidelson @beidelson]

A student I didn't know stopped me outside daycare this morning to say they use & love @CaseViewerApp. Somehow that never happens with my articles! If you're a law student/prof getting ready for the semester (and you use a Mac), check it out! @Harvard_Law

[Stephen E. Sachs @StephenESachs]

This is a great app! Strongly endorse.

[Pat Sobkowski @PJSobkowski]

So I was playing around with this today. It is SO cool. It’s going to be so helpful if you want to edit a case on your own, for example.
