Fastcase is a legal research platform that provides access to case law, statutes, regulations, court rules, and legal analytics tools for attorneys and legal professionals.
Fastcase is one of the largest online legal research libraries, offering attorneys and legal professionals access to more than 10 million case law opinions, statutes, regulations, court rules, and constitutions across all 50 U.S. states and federal jurisdictions. Founded in 1999 and now part of the vLex group following their 2024 merger, Fastcase distinguishes itself from legacy incumbents like Westlaw and LexisNexis by delivering comprehensive legal research at a fraction of the cost, often included free through bar association memberships.
The platform features an intuitive search interface with advanced Boolean and natural language query support, interactive data visualization tools like Authority Check (for assessing the strength and treatment history of a cited case), and interactive timeline views that map the evolution of legal concepts over time. Fastcase's legal analytics suite helps practitioners identify relevant precedent faster by surfacing citation patterns, judicial trends, and related authorities through algorithmic analysis rather than manual review.
Fastcase serves over 1.1 million subscribers through partnerships with more than 40 state and local bar associations, making it the most widely used legal research service by attorney count in the United States. This bar-association partnership model means that many attorneys receive full access to the core research library as a benefit of their annual bar dues, eliminating a significant cost barrier that has historically limited access to comprehensive legal research tools.
Since merging with vLex in 2024, Fastcase users benefit from expanded international legal content spanning over 100 countries, AI-powered research tools including Vincent AI for intelligent case analysis, and deeper integration with global legal databases. The combined platform positions Fastcase as a serious competitor to legacy providers while maintaining its commitment to affordable and accessible legal research. The platform supports both browser-based access and mobile apps for iOS and Android, and integrates with popular legal practice management tools.
