The legal research company ROSS Intelligence today introduced an extension for the Chrome web browser that lets you highlight text anywhere online and search for related legal authority.
From any web page, email or embedded PDF, highlight the text you want to research, right click, and select the option “find similar language.”
That runs a search on ROSS that retrieves cases related to the text.
For example, in an article yesterday in The Boston Globe about qualified immunity, I highlighted and searched a paragraph that read:
“A qualified immunity defense typically argues that any reasonable officer would have behaved the same way. If a judge agrees, the officer being sued can’t be held personally liable for on-the-job conduct.”
That opened ROSS and displayed search results showing cases relating to qualified immunity for police officers. Once in ROSS, I could filter the results by court, date and whether the case was published or unpublished.
