authorities

Search Citations

Find citing authorities by what their citing paragraph says.

Searches only the paragraph that does the citing — not the rest of that judgment, and not the case name. On an authority cited four figures of times this is the difference between having the list and being able to use it.

Matching is stemmed, so "prejudice" also finds "prejudiced". Each result carries the matching passages with character offsets for the matched terms, so the caller can render the highlight without re-finding the query itself, which would miss the stem that actually caused the hit.
