Users appreciate its intuitive design, quick assimilation, and comprehensive access to cases, statutes, rules, and briefs.

"How Our Legal Department Found its Groove with Casetext's CoCounsel Platform"
What do you like best about CoCounsel?

CoCounsel Conquers: Our legal team's journey with this AI-powered virtuoso, blending Sherlock's wit and Google's speed, as we waltzed our way to legal mastery and case-crushing confidence. CaseText´s CoCounsel application is a legal ace!"

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

Our legal department´s once-beloved manual research, now pales in comparison. We no longer need to hire so many contract attorneys to review discovery documents, which is not good for the country´s GDP.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Casetext´s CoCounsel is solving the problem of lawyers wasting time and money on outdated and overpriced legal research tools. It’s benefiting us by giving our legal department access to cutting-edge AI technology that helps us find the best cases, statutes, and arguments for our legal matters. It’s like having a super-smart co-counsel who works nearly for free and, more importantly, never complains.

"Casetext is the LASER strike of Legal Research, straight fast and to the point."
What do you like best about CoCounsel?

Parallel Search allows me to research any topic in real-time and gives me several cases to review instantly.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

Parallel search must be improved to reflect dissenting opinions from majority opinions.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is my understanding that Casetext is addressing the dissenting opinion issue, and that will allow me to increase the speed of my legal research.

"Perfect for Small Firms"
What do you like best about CoCounsel?

Casetext is extremely easy to use and has all the features of the more expensive legal research options at a cost small firms can afford.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

I am not a fan of the new layout. I would prefer a return to the old one, it was more user friendly and easier to navigate.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

We practice litigation and we absolutely need a legal research tool. This is something we could afford immediately when we opened but we love it so much we have not switched after three years.

"Finally, I will alternative to Westlaw and Lexis"
What do you like best about CoCounsel?

Having long been a user of Westlaw, Casetext offers a fast and accurate means of researching cases, with a speed that will shock you if you are used to waiting for the chugging away of prior services. And you are given the option of using to search mechanisms, either key word (bolean) or parallel search.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

I miss having access to certain treatises.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has become my "go to" legal research tool. Quick to launch and very fast searh/retrieval

"Accuracy and relevance = advantage"
What do you like best about CoCounsel?

I love that I can use a statement or a question as my "search" and Casetext provides relevant and accurate results. It's saves me so much time to research particular issues.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

I wish I could narrow my search to specific terms in Black's Law Dictionary in Casetext but I haven't been able to figure this out or it isn't possible yet. I'll keep trying.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a solo practitioner, it is critical I can save time when researching issues. I need my research to be efficient and effective. Casetext delivers. I LOVE that I can upload a pleading and Casetext will complilenall cases cited and I can download all cases at once for my reading pleasure!

"Casetext is a game changer! Best investment I’ve made for my firm."
What do you like best about CoCounsel?

The interface is user friendly, I don't get nickeled and dimed for every search that I do. I love that I can copy parts of cases and drop them directly in my document. I also love that the citation is correct. Customer service is outstanding!

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

I would love there to be a feature where I could filter by subpart to a regulation within cases. Sometimes, some cases aren't in Casetext -- I can get a subsequent ruling, for example attorneys fees awarded but can't get the original decision. I wish there was an app.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Legal research was by far my biggest firm expense before I got a Casetext. Casetext saves me money every day. It also saves me time - because I can cut and paste from Casetext right into my document, I don't have to spend time taking notes.

"Best Solution for small to midsize firms"
What do you like best about CoCounsel?

Clean and easy to use interface, it gets the job done, search features are available, it shepherdizes good enough (none of the services are A+), and for the price it is a value.

What do you dislike about CoCounsel?

Lack of customization and inability to access briefs from appellate cases as well I would through Westlaw. I think this would be much more valuable than the parallel search feature which is nice but not at an appellate lawyer's level. Each case should have the briefs linked.

What problems is CoCounsel solving and how is that benefiting you?

Legal research in a timely and efficient manner. Case text gets me what I want without all the bells and whistles that are unnecessary for my small to midsize needs.
