Frequently asked questions

Is LawDiver really free?

Yes. CaseDiver caselaw search on LawDiver is free and requires no account, no credit card, and no login. You can search more than 10 million federal and state court opinions, read the full text of any decision, and download the official PDF at no cost. Paid products — the API, the MCP server, and bulk data — are separate and optional.

Is CaseDiver a free alternative to Westlaw or Lexis?

Yes, for the core task of finding and reading caselaw. CaseDiver on LawDiver covers U.S. federal and state court opinions with full text, citation data, and official PDFs, at no charge and with no subscription. It does not include the secondary materials, treatises, or practice tools that paid services bundle, so it is best described as a free way to research caselaw rather than a feature-for-feature replacement.

What courts does CaseDiver cover?

CaseDiver covers U.S. Supreme Court, federal courts of appeals, federal district courts, and the appellate and supreme courts of all fifty states. You can scope any search to a single state, a federal circuit, or the U.S. Supreme Court.

Do I need an account to search caselaw?

No. The search on the LawDiver homepage and the /casediver page are both open to the public with no sign-in. An account is only needed for the paid API and MCP products.

Can I use CaseDiver to research my own case without a lawyer?

Yes. CaseDiver is built so that self-represented litigants, students, journalists, and the general public can read the same court opinions lawyers read. CaseDiver provides research tools and source documents; it does not give legal advice and is not a substitute for a lawyer.

How is the caselaw kept up to date?

New decisions are ingested daily from the U.S. Supreme Court, the federal courts of appeals, and state supreme courts, and appear in the recent-opinions feed on the homepage.
