Fastcase, a legal publisher and research service, released a new software algorithm to identify overturned or reversed cases in its Authority Check system, which is free to subscribers. The new algorithm, called Bad Law Bot, surfaces citing cases that give negative treatment to a cited case.
The corpus of case law in Fastcase is now indexed to quickly identify key terms from the Bluebook manual for legal citation that clearly identify case law that overturns or reverses a cited case. When Bad Law Bot identifies a citing case as overturning or reversing a cited case, it flags the negative history as reported by the court and surfaces it at the top of the Authority Check results.
