Fastcase is beta testing Forecite, a search feature akin to Westlaw's ResultsPlus.
After running a search, you'll see a message like this, with the option to view those results.
Authority check searches for other cases that cite your case and displays the results as a list of hyperlinked case names. This is a great research tool for finding related precedents, or to help determine the continuing value of a case as a precedent. In addition, you can use Authority Check on the Results page to sort search results in order of authority – with the most often-cited cases at the top of the list. Note that authority check only lists citing precedents in the Fastcase database.
