CaseMap: Source-Grounded Legal Case Reports You Can Actually Cite

CaseMap: Source-Grounded Legal Case Reports You Can Actually Cite

Legal research keeps colliding with the same problem: summaries that paraphrase, invent, or bury the page where a fact actually lives. CaseMap is built to do the opposite — turn a case PDF into a report that stays grounded in the source text, with verbatim quotes and page citations, so you can trust and cite what you read.

Try it

Product: https://casemap.ecocodes.in

Showcase: CaseMap on vibecode.law

Demo (video): https://youtu.be/hy4J97sSVpI

What CaseMap does

  1. You upload or open a case PDF.
  2. CaseMap processes the document and produces a structured case report.
  3. Claims in the report are tied back to exact wording and page numbers from the source — not a free-form rewrite.

That design choice matters for lawyers, researchers, and anyone who cannot afford a hallucinated holding or a soft paraphrase of a statute excerpt.

Privacy-first by design

After processing, CaseMap is built to keep sensitive material browser-local where possible. The goal is useful AI assistance without casually shipping your case files into a black box you cannot audit.

Who it is for

  • Advocates and in-house counsel who need citeable extracts fast
  • Researchers comparing holdings across long judgments
  • Students learning to read cases without losing the page trail
  • Builders exploring source-grounded document AI (not “chat about a PDF” theater)

Why I’m sharing this

CaseMap started as a community / open-minded build around a hard constraint: do not invent, do not paraphrase away the source. If that constraint matches how you work, the live product is here:

Feedback, bug reports, and “this citation path broke on my PDF” notes are welcome.
