Welcome to Jade, Australia’s best legal research tool. In this video we’ll demonstrate our unique visualisation features.
The similarity tool allows the finding of cases which share catchwords. and citations In other words, this tool shows you cases which follow similar legal principles.
Jade will plot similar cases as circles in this interactive diagram. Your case will be denoted with a 1. The two most similar cases are denoted with the numbers 2 and 3. The remaining circles represent other similar cases, which you can see by hovering over them.
All cases are shown with certain attributes available in the legend. The interior color in each circle shows the deciding court. The shaded ring outside the circle indicates catchword overlap. Hovering over lines shows shared citations.
You can arrange the cases by dragging with your mouse to get even more specific about the types of similarities you’re looking for
