For law students
Understand any judgment in minutes.
Name a case and CaseAnchor breaks the judgment down for you: the facts, the ratio and the key passages, quoted word for word with paragraph numbers. Or describe your own problem and it finds the cases that apply.
A research tool, not legal advice.
Mrs Robinson, aged 76, was knocked over and injured when plain-clothes officers struggled to arrest a suspected drug dealer on a Huddersfield pavement. The trial judge found the officers negligent but held the police immune. The Court of Appeal held no duty of care was owed.
RatioThere is no universal "Caparo test". A duty of care follows established principles and precedent, and the police are generally liable like anyone else for positive acts that cause foreseeable personal injury.
Key quote“There is no question that a police officer, like anyone else, may be liable in tort to a person who is injured as a direct result of his acts or omissions.”Lord Reed, quoting Lord Keith · para 45Quotes are checked word for word against the judgment (5 of 5 passed)
How it works
Name a case, or describe your facts
Type a case name or citation, like Robinson v Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police [2018] UKSC 4. Or describe your own problem in plain English and CaseAnchor finds cases that could apply.
Get the judgment broken down
See the facts, the issues, the decision, the ratio and the judges' reasoning. Every quote comes straight from the judgment and is checked against the text.
Ask questions about it
Ask anything about the judgment, such as "Why did the court reject the argument that the police are immune?" Answers come from the judgment itself, with the passages quoted.
What you get
Quotes you can trust
Every quote is checked word for word against the judgment text. If it doesn't match, it's removed, so you won't end up citing words the judge never wrote.

Questions
Is this legal advice?
No. CaseAnchor is a research tool, not a law firm. It uses AI, which can make mistakes. Always read the full judgment and check any authority before you rely on it or cite it.
Where do the judgments come from?
UK judgments come from the National Archives' Find Case Law service, used under the Open Justice Licence. US opinions come from CourtListener, run by the non-profit Free Law Project. Each result links back to its source.
What if the judgment isn't in your database?
Many older cases, especially from before about 2001, aren't available from our sources. When that happens, CaseAnchor asks you to upload the judgment (a PDF or pasted text, from any source you're allowed to use) and analyses it for you.
Is what I upload shared with other people?
No. Uploads are private to your account, and they're deleted when you delete the chat or your account.
Does it replace reading the case?
No, and it shouldn't. CaseAnchor helps you understand a judgment and find the passages that matter, so you can read the original with a clear idea of what to look for.
What happens to my chats?
They're stored in your account so you can return to them, and only you can see them. You can delete any chat, or your whole account, at any time. See our privacy policy.
How do I cancel?
Any time, from Account → Manage subscription. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
Who is it for?
Law students (LLB, GDL, LLM, SQE and similar) working on essays, problem questions, moots, exam revision and dissertations.
