Combine with caselaw_get_cited_by to traverse precedent backward and forward until a research question is resolved. Most useful on RECENT judgments: a 2024-25 case usually has nobody citing it yet, but its own citation list is a curated map of the established authority on the point.
caselaw_get_cited_by
read-only
limitoffsetcase_id*response_format
Walk the citation graph BACKWARD: list later cases that cite THIS judgment (how it was subsequently treated — followed, distinguished, relied upon). Returns newest first.… Walk the citation graph BACKWARD: list later cases that cite THIS judgment (how it was subsequently treated — followed, distinguished, relied upon). Returns newest first. Most useful on OLDER or landmark judgments: it shows whether the case is still followed and where the principle has been applied since. A leading case can have hundreds of citing cases.
caselaw_lookup_citation
read-only
pageyear*limitoffsetjournal*response_format
Find the judgment(s) at an exact law-report citation. Example: journal='PLD', year=1995, page=34 → PLD 1995 Supreme Court 34.

Omit page to list everything reported in that journal+year. Returns the same case shape as caselaw_search.
caselaw_most_cited

Ranking follows how lawyers research: nearness to the legal point decides which cases are returned; among comparably-near cases, more senior court > larger bench > more recent > more cited. Use sort='newest' when you need the current state of the law (later judgments supersede as statutes are amended), or sort='court' for the most authoritative first. Returns ranked cases with id, title, citation, court, year, a snippet, and the public URL. For an exact report citation use caselaw_lookup_citation. To read a case, pass its id to caselaw_get_case.
