How Judges Rule, a search engine for judicial reasoning
A legal-research product that lets lawyers search judges' past rulings with natural-language questions and structured filters.
Field notes
The interface combines a sentence-style query with docket-like filters, allowing users to search by judge, county, date range, outcome, support range, and whether findings were issued. The illustrated family-law search covers 2016–2026 and reports 31 matching cases with 44 findings of fact. Results include a quoted passage, source page image, citation, docket link, and sortable case comparison; the site says coverage currently spans one circuit.
