Casemaker Overview
Comprehensive, accurate, and timely Internet legal research is
available through the Casemaker Web Library. This powerful Internet
law library provides members of the Utah State Bar with free access
to the legal research materials to serve clients.
The Casemaker Web Library provides a comprehensive search engine
system with many of the features that you have come to expect from
online legal research.
-
Search Logic - You can connect key words and
phrases using the Casemaker Web Library's search logic. This
search logic allows you to narrow your search so that you get
the results that most closely fit with the issue you are researching.

Natural Language - Simply type your question
containing the key words into the basic search query box and
the search engine will use its own intelligence to find the results
that match the terms in your query.

Database Fields - Using the advanced search
screen template, you can enter specific information into fields
such as citation, date, attorney, and more. Utilizing the fields
will allow you to find specific information very quickly.
