Select the StrongSuit logo in the top right corner of your Microsoft Word application to open the Word Add In.
The Litigate tool in the Word add-in is designed to support litigation documents.
Navigate to the litigate tab as shown below.
Once you open the Litigate tool, all available options will be displayed for you to choose from.
1. Case Search: This allows you to find relevant cases to add to your document while conducting legal research as you review it.
2. Table of Authorities: Use Table of Authorities to generate an index of cases. The tool scans your document to identify all cited cases and authorities and their corresponding page numbers.
3. Case Lookup: This allows you to find a case that has been cited in your document by highlighting a specific case citation.
View case details to read a summary and learn more information about the case.
4. Relevant Cases: This helps you find supporting case law by highlighting a sentence or section in your document.
5. Check Citations: This allows you to confirm that cited cases reference the correct reporter. The tool scans the entire document and does not require highlighting.
Any content written or reviewed in the Word add-in must be saved locally. Changes are not saved automatically to the platform.
