Click here for a detailed, easy to understand tutorial regarding Citetrak Technology. Citetrak assigns a numeric hyperlink to each hit in your search results. On the original search screen that appears each time you open TheLaw.net Equalizer 7.0, configure Citetrak to reveal the number of citations to each hit only from the jurisdictions you search, from the entire database of both. By default, Citetrak is configured to link to all opinions in the database citing your opinion.
With Citetrak you'll begin to get a sense of just how many judicial opinions have never been cited. Citetrak also allows you to sort your results by citation frequency. Meaning, in one mouse click you can find the most cited opinion to cite your opinion, or, for example, the most cited opinion that contains your search term(s).
You can literally do a national search on any topic - "collateral estoppel" - and in one mouse click see the most cited opinion nationally containing that phrase. For trivia lovers that opinion is Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U.S. 436, 25 L.Ed.2d 469, 90 S.Ct. 1189 (1970). The most cited state opinion containing this phrase is Ryan v. New York Telephone Co., 62 N.Y.2d 494, 478 N.Y.S.2d 823 (N.Y., 1984). That took another couple of seconds. TheLaw.net Equalizer 7.0 is the best caselaw search engine ever because it's designed for computer users!
