^{This month, Fastcase will be posting daily tips to assist you in your research process. Comments? Suggestions? War stories about how you use Fastcase in your practice? We want to hear from you. Drop us a line at comments@fastcase.com. (If you have compliments to share, we’ll take those too!)}

When you generate a list of case law search results on Fastcase, you have the ability to filter the list to cases from just one jurisdiction.

For example, let’s say you search for “felony murder” in all Federal Appellate Courts. You will get at least 1000 results.

If you want to view only the decisions of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, there is no need to re-run your search in the Ninth Circuit database. Instead, just select “Federal 9th Circuit” from the Jurisdiction filter at the top, left hand side of the screen.

Your results list will go from 1000 results down to the 190-or-so results from the Ninth Circuit. The other cases will be temporarily hidden.

Get the full list instantly by selecting “All Jurisdictions” form the drop-down Jurisdiction filter.
