Full court search in Cline
Cline uses `search_direct` to query state and agency courts for you. It knows exactly which arguments to pass because it calls `get_search_direct_args` first. This ensures you get precise results every time. It eliminates the guesswork of manual database queries and gets you the right case files fast.
Extract insights with `get_cause_of_action`
Tell Cline to analyze a case and it uses `get_cause_of_action` to pull the legal theories and relevant statutes. It does the heavy lifting so you can focus on strategy. It doesn't just give you raw data. It interprets the results to show you how the case stands up legally.
Manage your case list in Cline
Use `match_case` to find specific dockets even if you only have partial info. Cline cleans up the data and confirms the correct case before you start your research. It handles the matching logic internally. You get the right records without verifying every single entry by hand.
