Casemaker, the legal research tool provided to ISBA members as part of their membership, merged with Fastcase in the beginning of this year. We recently learned that as part of this merger, Casemaker and Fastcase now intend to consolidate platforms in order to invest their full attention, customer service, innovation and security resources into Fastcase. In doing so, they plan to sunset Casemaker for Indiana users this August.
Fastcase offers a number of enhancements to Casemaker, including more robust databases and searches and an interface that has been described by attorney users as a more intuitive and streamlined. While we recognize that it can be daunting to learn a new platform, we are excited that our members will have access the expanded solutions provided by Fastcase.
