Levit & James and Fastcase Form Alliance to Make More Case Law Available at Minimum Cost
USA/Canada News

L&J logoLegal software company Levit & James, Inc. and national legal research service Fastcase, Inc. have formed an alliance to make large amounts of case law widely available at little or no cost, beginning early in 2018. 

Fletcher James, President of Levit & James, explains:  “When attorneys prepare documents using the upcoming Version 5.0 of Levit & James’s Best Authority® software, they will have the option of adding hyperlinks to citations in the text and also to the Table of Authorities. Any person reading an electronic copy of that document will then be able to read the text of those Authorities online at Fastcase.com. Also, in the near future, Levit & James will be introducing HyperCase®, a new e-briefing package, which will allow them to automatically download and incorporate content from Fastcase.”

Both of these features will be useful not only when creating briefs for court filings, but also for analyzing opposition briefs and other materials. The process will be fast, accurate, and highly automated.

According to Ed Walters, President of Fastcase, “We will provide hyperlinks for free to Best Authority users. Downloads will be free to Fastcase subscribers, and available to others via in-app purchase, the fees being much lower than from competing research services. But nobody reading a document will need to pay or register.”

Best Authority Version 5.0 and the first version of HyperCase will both be in beta-testing early in 2018. Sample hyperlinked outputs are available now.  Contact Ian Levit at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information.
