We're watching the open web die piece by piece every day and it sucks.
I had missed the death of Casetext. It was a great free resource to access some of the information that should most be free: the law.

Westlaw acquired Casetext and with it, co-counsel. The product was built on OpenAI API calls with custom instructions. To my knowledge, it is not fully optimized with more specialized model training for legal questions or research.

So SCOTUSblog spent years and years removing PDF links to decisions and replacing them with Casetext links, and now that Casetext has been sold off every single one of those links is now dead?

CaseText was better than Westlaw Parallel Search though, it's a shame they shut it down.

@aricohn.com You forgot to mention login speed and search speed. With CaseText, you could log in seconds and find a case quickly. With Westlaw, the login in process is about 3 hours and you are signed out for inactivity. Searches take forever. CaseText was so efficient.

Between Thomson Reuters ruining Casetext with AI bullshit, and this, can we just have one legal resource that doesn’t suck?
Law360 is requiring all stories pass through an AI "bias indicator" before publication.
The new policy came weeks after an executive from its parent company, LexisNexis, accused the newsroom of liberal bias in its Trump admin coverage. My latest for @niemanlab.org

What infuriates me is that by far the best use case was for implementing the capacity to do natural language searches, and everyone abandoned that. Casetext was doing a good job iterating on it, but Westlaw bought them and shifted purely over to genai.

The best development in the legal field over the last 5 years was a legal research tool called Casetext which provided an affordable bare-bones legal research option to smaller firms and solo practitioners. It wasn't even in the market for 2 years before Lexis bought it and shut it down.
