ChatGPT
LawDiver is now an officially approved ChatGPT app. Install it once from the ChatGPT directory and ChatGPT can search real cases, open the opinion, and check a citation while you chat — instead of recalling a citation from memory.

Do this once, in a browser. After it works, the same ChatGPT account can use LawDiver on the desktop app and on the phone.
Using LawDiver, is 410 U.S. 113 still good law?ChatGPT should call LawDiver before it answers — you will see a lookup step in the chat with tool names like search, retrieve, or check citation.
Remove LawDiver from ChatGPT's app list, open the listing above again, and click Install a second time. At least one reconnection also requires signing in to LawDiver and clicking Allow again.
These are the jobs the LawDiver app gives ChatGPT. Ask in plain English. ChatGPT picks the lookup. If the library has no match, it should say so.
Ask for cases on an issue, in a court you name: one state, one federal circuit, all federal courts, or the U.S. Supreme Court. ChatGPT gets the case name, citation, court, date, a short passage, and a good-law flag when the library has one.
Give a citation or a case name. ChatGPT can resolve it to the case record and pull the opinion text, then quote from that text. A search snippet is a preview. The opinion text is the source for quotes.
Paste a citation, or a list of them. ChatGPT checks each one against the LawDiver library and tells you whether it matched. A miss stays a miss. ChatGPT should not swap in a different cite.
For a matched case, ChatGPT can report good-law and negative-treatment signals when LawDiver has them. Read the signal and the opinion. This is a database check, and you still confirm anything you will cite.
Ask for the text of a section and include the section number, for example 42 U.S.C. § 1983. When LawDiver has that section, ChatGPT returns the text. If the section is missing from the library, it should say it was not found.
The same citation check covers specialty forms the library holds, such as revenue rulings and private letter rulings. A hit comes back as that authority — a different record from a court opinion.
ChatGPT can still answer from memory if you leave the request loose. These habits keep it on LawDiver.
After install, every chat that should use LawDiver must have the app enabled. If your ChatGPT shows an Apps or Tools pill in the chat, confirm LawDiver is listed and switched on before you send the question.
Those two words tell ChatGPT to use the app for this request.
For a case search, say the place: “Florida state courts,” “the 11th Circuit,” “all federal courts,” or “the U.S. Supreme Court.” ChatGPT is set up to ask you once if you leave the court out, instead of searching the whole country.
Search, or open this case, or check this citation. A short request is easier for ChatGPT to follow than three jobs in one paragraph.
Add this sentence: “Answer from LawDiver. If LawDiver has no match, say that.”
A real LawDiver answer has a step in the chat where ChatGPT searched or checked something. You may see names like search cases, check citation, get opinion text, retrieve statute, or good law. An answer with no lookup step came from memory.
Reply: “Use the LawDiver app and show me what it found.” Then ask it to quote the opinion or statute it retrieved.
Paste one of these after LawDiver is on. Change the court or the citation to your own.
Using LawDiver, search Florida state cases about premises liability for a slip and fall on a wet floor. Answer from LawDiver. If LawDiver has no match, say that.
Using LawDiver, is 410 U.S. 113 a real case, and is it still good law? Use only what LawDiver returns.
Using LawDiver, retrieve the full text of 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Quote from the text LawDiver returns.
On ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, or Edu, a workspace admin usually has to allow ChatGPT apps before anyone in the workspace sees Install. If the listing shows no Install button, or ChatGPT says apps are disabled, send your admin this:
Please allow ChatGPT apps for our workspace and allow the LawDiver app (https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6ac6a5ba362081919de756583296121b) — a read-only caselaw research tool. It searches cases, opens opinions, and checks citations. It does not write to our data.
Some workspaces allow admins to install one app for everyone. If yours does, ask an admin to install LawDiver for the organization from the same listing. You will still sign in to LawDiver under your own account the first time you use it.
You do not need ChatGPT to use LawDiver, and every option below is free.
If you still want ChatGPT to draft from real cases without the app, copy the cases you found on LawDiver and paste them into ChatGPT with:
Use only the cases below. Don't cite any case that isn't in this list. If these cases don't answer the question, say so. [paste cases here]
To check what ChatGPT already wrote, copy its answer into CiteCheck and paste the results back with:
Here are citation-check results from a verified caselaw database. Remove or replace every citation marked as not found or bad law, and don't add any new citation unless I give it to you.
