Modern case-law revision for your whole department
Caselaw gives every law student accurate, plain-English case briefs, flashcards, quizzes, past papers and full SQE prep — on one institutional plan, with no per-seat metering.
No public price list — every institution is quoted on its size and needs.
Already used by students at Oxford, Cambridge and LSE.
What your students get
Everything a law student needs to revise from accurate, plain-English case law.
Accurate briefs for every core module
Tort, contract, public law, land, equity, criminal — students revise from plain-English briefs that lead with the ratio, not a 40-page judgment. Each one links back to the source so they verify, not just memorise.
Flashcards, quizzes and past papers, ready to assign
Spaced-repetition decks, topic quizzes and timed past papers with model answers. Set them as directed reading or revision and let students self-test between supervisions and tutorials.
Full SQE1 and SQE2 preparation
Both SQE assessments covered with reviewed questions, model answers and mock exams — useful for departments bridging the LLB into qualification, without a second subscription.
Built for how students actually revise
Search a half-remembered case by facts, not citation. Generate a brief on a judgment that isn't in any textbook yet. The tool meets first-years where they are, which is the difference between a licence that's used and one that gathers dust.
How it compares to legacy databases
Caselaw doesn’t replace Westlaw or LexisNexis for citation and validation. It does something they were never built to do: get a student or a junior to the point of a case in seconds, on a plan that doesn’t charge by the seat.
| Legacy research databases | Caselaw | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical annual cost | £10,000–£50,000 for a research-database subscription | A fraction of that — quoted per institution, no public list |
| Pricing model | Bespoke per-seat licences | Flat institutional plan — request a quote |
| Time to the point of a case | Read the headnote, then the judgment | Plain-English brief leading with the ratio, source linked |
| Built for | Practitioners citing authority | Students learning, and juniors orientating, fast |
| Onboarding | Training sessions and seat management | A student opens it and it just works |
Cost ranges describe typical commercial research-database licensing, not a specific provider’s quote. Westlaw and LexisNexis are trademarks of their respective owners; Caselaw is independent and unaffiliated.

Does Caselaw replace our library subscriptions?+
No. Caselaw is a revision and comprehension layer for students, not a citation database. It complements your existing subscriptions and points back to the source judgment on every brief.
How much does an institutional plan cost?+
There's no public price list. Pricing depends on your size and what you need, so we quote each institution individually — typically a fraction of a research-database subscription. Request a quote and we'll come back with a tailored plan.
Can we pilot it before committing?+
Yes. We run a departmental pilot for a term so your students revise from it and you see real engagement before deciding on an institutional plan. No card, no auto-renewal.
Which jurisdictions are covered?+
UK, US, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Africa — over 500,000 indexed judgments in one library, with the ability to generate a structured brief on any case on demand.
Is student data protected? Are you GDPR compliant?+
Yes. We're a UK-based service and process data under UK GDPR — minimum data collected, never sold, with self-serve export and deletion. We can sign an institutional data processing agreement (DPA) as part of onboarding.
