Search Demo

---

For some of you, conducting a search on our site may be a new process. Well, we’re here to help. This Search Demo is provided to give you a visual tour of the process, step by step.

Basically, a search involves five steps:

1. select the jurisdiction(s) or collections you want to search
2. formulate a search query
3. narrow your search by entering a date range (optional)
4. select the number of results to view
5. submit the search query.

Sound easy? It is. Take this brief tour and you’ll be on your way.

Step 1. Select Jurisdiction

To begin we need to choose a jurisdiction in which to search. Note that we have several choices including the U.S. Supreme Court, Federal Circuit Courts, Federal District Courts, State Appellate Courts and Native American Tribal Courts. For our search example, we’ll be working in the Federal Circuits. To choose the 6^th Circuit, click on the circle next to "6^th" – (see red loop). When we click on the continue button, we’ll gain access to the main search page.
