Citer – Link to Legal Authority Cited in Web Pages

If a federal appellate level case or statute is cited in a web page, you can easily link to the full text by using Citer. It is not a browser add-on, and no download is needed. Simply add Citer to your bookmarks. Then you can highlight the citation in question, click on the Citer bookmark you created and it will take you to the full text of the document, if it is on the web.

Citer is similar to Jureeka, a Firefox/Chrome add-on, but Citer can be used on Internet Explorer and other browsers. Citer’s coverage includes only federal materials at this time. Jureeka’s coverage is better, including Ohio Supreme Court cases from 1992 and reported appellate cases from 1997. Jureeka also creates an actual link on the page, while Citer requires you to highlight the cite and then go to the bookmark.

See our prior post regarding Jureeka.
