We knew about Artificial Intelligence Super casebriefs™ in December 2003 but were forced to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement to keep the information confidential for two years.
What can you say about artificial intelligence computer programs that are smart enough to look at all the relevant uses of a case from a database of over 180,000 cases to determine the actual true holding of a case? We could only think of the word Super!
The super computer tells you what the case is about as it looks at all the uses of the case when it is cited by other cases. Then it formulates a relevant connection probability of how the case is viewed in usage by majority holdings, dissents and plurality holdings and not merely when it was decided. The program then looks at the case and casebriefs it.
In some of the casebriefs they include a section called
"Cases that cite this case:" This gives you a snapshot of the most relevant and
important cases which cite the case being briefed.
These casebriefs brief the entire case. We read through one set of these case briefs from a constitutional law book and we must say that by doing casebriefs on the entire case we saw each major area of the law portrayed substantially more times than in the casebook itself. The casebook only had 3 cases on matters related to standing but we read about standing in 24 cases which had edited out that issue in the casebook. Needless to say we now know a lot about standing; a lot more than somone just reading the three cases and only doing the casebriefs for what was in the casebook..
We also got a great laugh when we realized that most casebooks edit out dissents that frame the majority holdings. Dissents make it too easy for students to understand the theories of the cases. You have to find some reason for charging $30,000-$50,000 per year for law school. If it fundamentally is not hard you have to make it hard. Editing out dissents from cases in casebooks makes it very hard to casebrief those cases. These case briefs put them back in and brief them for you.
Most of all, you can edit the Superbrief ™ casebriefs and take them to class right in your computer or print them out. Superbriefs™ are part of the Rom Law™ product and for one price you get them all.
Not all the case briefs in Rom Law™ are Superbriefs™. The rest of the briefs in the product are as good as those in Casenotes and High Court Case Brief Case Summaries. Currently about 70% of the casebriefs in Rom Law™ are Superbriefs™.
We recommend these casebriefs. You just can't beat the price. All of them cost just a little more than a printed single case brief book. They sell in the Rom Law™ product for one low price that includes, outlines, flashcards, Q&A, and reference materials. Best of all you can download them and use them for 3 days before you purchase. Never purchase a digital product on line unless you can try before you buy and they have real tech support with real phone numbers!
