2 years ago Hi! I’m glad you found this interesting. I honestly don’t know if it still works. I haven’t updated it in years; I don’t practice law anymore and didn’t need this much over the last few years that I did, so it just collected dust.
I think Westlaw has actually implemented many if not most of the features of my script (like visually indicating concurrences and dissents) in the meantime.
That said, you’re welcome to give it a shot. The repository you found is actually not the most recent code; I need to add a note stating that. The most recent code is here: https://gist.github.com/edcottrell/aac1f0c470d8b47c0f4c
It's a “userscript." To use it, you need a browser plugin that runs userscripts, like TamperMonkey, and install it within that plugin. Again, I don't know if it will even work anymore, but I hope it does and is helpful.
Good luck!
Hello, I'm sorry I am very new (two days in fact). My dad is a computer engineer so I have been trying to learn. No such luck yet. I wanted to leave a comment because I could not figure out where to message you. I am a law student and a law clerk, handiest tool ever! However, I have no idea how to install this. Do you have instructions? Sorry!
