Troubleshooting

When something feels off, start with the visible search state: query, filters, jurisdiction, and the result count.

Check your spelling or try broader terms

No results

Remove one active filter, try a shorter phrase, check spelling, and confirm that Jurisdiction is set to the state or court you meant to search.

Too many results

Add an exact phrase, date range, outcome, issue area, school district, hearing officer, or narrower jurisdiction scope.

Stale jurisdiction scope

If results look like the wrong state, court, or tribunal, open Jurisdiction and click Edit.

Disappearing filters

Use the active filter chips as the source of truth. If the page gets confusing after back navigation or a reload, clear filters and rebuild from the visible sidebar.


Save, sign-in, and copy problems

These failures are usually browser, session, or permission issues. The safest first step is to refresh the page, then try the action again.

Clipboard

If Cite, Share, or quote-copy fails, check browser clipboard permissions and try a direct keyboard copy from the selected text.

Sign-in

If sign-in loops or does not finish, refresh, allow cookies for the site, and try again in the same browser.

Save

If a decision, note, folder, or saved search will not save, confirm you are signed in and refresh the page before trying again.
