FAQ
What is CaseDNA?
CaseDNA is a preparation and analytics companion for U.S. federal appellate practice. It provides offline access to over 50,000 court opinions, judge profiles, and counsel information.
Does CaseDNA work offline?
Yes, CaseDNA works instantly and offline. All searches, judge profiles, and citation maps are available within the app without sending any data to a server.
What kind of information does CaseDNA provide about judges?
CaseDNA allows you to browse judges by circuit and view their caseloads, outcome mixes with 95% confidence intervals, panel connections, and side-by-side comparisons. Statistics are descriptive and suppressed below meaningful sample sizes.
Is CaseDNA a legal citator or does it check if law is still good?
No, CaseDNA is not a citator and does not verify if any authority is still good law. It shows citation activity but explicitly states it is not a good-law check. Always confirm authority in a primary source before citing.
Does CaseDNA use AI or generate text?
No, CaseDNA is quoted and never generated. Every disposition and step of a decision's reasoning is a quote from the opinion itself, with the source shown. It abstains when text is unclear and never guesses or uses AI generation.
Is my research strategy private with CaseDNA?

What is the scope of the CaseDNA corpus?
CaseDNA's corpus is a research sample of published federal appellate opinions from 1990–2021, sourced from the public-domain Caselaw Access Project. It is not a complete or current-law database.
Is CaseDNA suitable for all devices?
Based on the provided data, CaseDNA is currently supported on iPhone devices.
