All the features you expect from LexisNexis – but better.
Cases summarized — by judges
- LexisNexis: Summarizes cases by an anonymous editor who may or may not “love” what they do.
- Casetext: Summarizes cases straight from the judges themselves.
Excellent Citator — even more flags
- LexisNexis: Typical citator (red, green and yellow flags) – category only.
- Casetext: Red, green, yellow and orange flags. Orange flags to tell you when a case hasn’t been overturned, but relies on one that was. We also go beyond flags and have concise sumaries of important treatment.

Small Firm
“It provides the clients with a lot less expensive method of our producing quality work to give to the judge who’s on their case. Not only is there no pass-through charge like we had with LexisNexis, but we charge by the hour. So the faster we work, the better it is for our client.”
