Use Citate with LOIS to determine whether a court opinion's holding is good law by analyzing how later courts have treated it.
Citate with LOIS
Highlight any passage in an opinion and run an analysis to see whether that specific holding is still "good law." Surface cases that have treated, criticized, or quietly undermined that exact point, including implicit conflicts that traditional citators miss.
Run an Analysis
In the Opinion Viewer, highlight any text of an opinion and click Citate with LOIS to begin an analysis.
Analysis usually takes around 20 minutes, and can take up to 1-2 hours. Click Run to confirm you’d like to run the analysis on the selected text.
Once you’ve selected to run the analysis, you can see it in an Artifacts popup.
Once you’ve launched an analysis, you can navigate away, make another request to LOIS, or run another analysis. When an analysis is ready, you’ll see a green checkmark next to it, and you can open it from the analysis popup.
Tip
This popup can be opened from the bottom right corner of LOIS: View Generated Artifacts. Any of your prior-run analyses can be opened from here as well.
