What’s not changing? The expert care and
handling of legal content by editorial staff
that has long distinguished Casemaker among
low-cost legal research providers, who tend to
rely more heavily on algorithmic approaches to
capturing and organizing legal content, with
comparatively little to no human intervention.
In a study circulated at last summer’s Annual
Meeting of the American Association of
Law Libraries, titled “Database Evaluation:
Drawing The Silken Thread,”* three highly
respected Connecticut law librarians set out to
objectively evaluate seven legal research services
by researching six topics. They performed
identical searches on each service and assessed
each result set against five pre-determined
criteria.

The study showed Casemaker consistently
returned more relevant results than other
low-cost services, that its content was more
current, and that its citator, CaseCheck+®,
was more precise and less cumbersome to use
than other providers’ citation checking tools.
In fact, Casemaker performed on a par with
(and in some cases even surpassed) the leading
high-cost services across multiple points of
comparison.
As Casemaker Chief Operating Officer Sarah
Gorman said at the time, “These results are
truly gratifying. Our editors take great pride in
their work and here we can see that the human
touch really does make a difference.”
As a SBAND member, you can have the best
of both worlds: a much-improved platform
with state-of-the-art functionality, and content
you can continue to rely on with confidence.
