Which isn't really the title of the forum post, on HN post titles tend to be changed to whatever the article/original post's title is to discourage linkbait.
Thanks for asking! At the moment, we automatically link all citing cases and then allow users to categorize them (by negative, distinguishing, and positive treatment) and to write a bit of context explaining how the case is relevant. In the future, we'd also like to automate some of the categorization.
To follow up on this -- we believe that over the long-run this will produce better results than Lexis and Westlaw. Because users can add any related cases (not just those that cite the case), you get a more complete picture of other cases you should be looking to in your research. For example, in some circuit splits, neither circuit cites the court that it is splitting from (and so doesn't appear in West/Lexis' database), but would appear on our site.
Users can also vote up or down a case based on relevance. Voting will help you quickly find the most relevant resources based on the thoughts of dozens or hundreds of other attorneys.
