Fastcase Tip: Locating a Case by Keyword
Sometimes you don’t know the parties of a case or the year, but you know the keyword related to your query. To pull up a document by keyword, use Advanced Caselaw Search and formulate your search query using one or more of the eight Boolean operators offered by Fastcase: And; Or; Not; ( ); “ “; /x (for words occurring within x words of the main search); * (as a wildcard); and ? (a substitute for any letter).
Start with a broad search and use Fastcase’s sorting and filtering tools to find the document you need. If you are not sure where to start, a natural language search may help point you in the right direction.
