Wolters Kluwer Announces Judicial Caselaw Add-on & Interactive Case History Timeline to the Almanac of the Federal Judiciary

NEW YORK, April 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory U.S. today announced the introduction of the Judicial Caselaw Add-on to the esteemed Almanac of the Federal Judiciary (AFJ), giving customers access to a judge's rulings along with an Interactive Case History Timeline. Available through Cheetah™, Wolters Kluwer's award-winning legal research platform, the new capability will help lawyers familiarize themselves with federal judges, their courtroom tendencies, and their ruling style.

This unique addition catalogues decisions by the specific judge lawyers are searching and includes each judge's decision on their page. Providing all of a judge's decisions on his or her own page allows users a view into that judge's decisions without all the "noise and clutter" a global search provides when users search for a specific judge's information. With the new Judicial Case Law Add-On, the judge's cases are located with that judge, along with the AFJ's highly popular background information. In addition, an Interactive Case History Timeline provides users with a view into a judge's case decisions, workload and allows for easier date searches of cases by that judge. Customers will also be able to search by a specific date range, by citation, case name or date.

"It's often said that a good lawyer knows the law, but a great lawyer knows the judge," said Susan Gruesser, Director, Product Management for Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory U.S. "Our goal is to provide our customers with solutions that add value and drive efficiency, and with the AFJ through Cheetah™ - and the AFJ's new Caselaw Add-on- our customers will now be able to prepare for their cases more thoroughly than ever before by better understanding the very judge they will be before in court."
