5. Case Law Data

The case law content available through Caselegis consists of court opinions that are public domain government works.

The Service should not be used as a substitute for professional legal advice.

6. Bad Law Detection Disclaimer

The bad law detection feature (Red, Yellow, Green status indicators) is provided as a research aid based on automated citation analysis. It is not a definitive legal determination. You should independently verify the current status of any case law before relying on it in legal proceedings. Caselegis is not responsible for any consequences arising from reliance on automated status indicators.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Caselegis shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve months preceding the claim.
