FAQ - Transitioning from Fastcase 6 to the new Fastcase

Will Fastcase 6 still be available?

Yes, Fastcase 6 will remain an option for the near future. We hope that the new tools and features in Fastcase 7 will make your research process fast and easy. However, if you need Fastcase 6, you can switch back under the “account management” button.              

Why is Fastcase making the change to Fastcase 7?

As technology advances, there are new possibilities for the design of the database that were not possible when Fastcase 6 was created. Creating the new system has allowed for the development of new features, such as predictive typing in our Type-Ahead feature, Universal Searching, our Semantic Tag Cloud, and other features. Our system will also be easier to update so we can continue to create new features without disruption to the service.

Does Fastcase 7 include all the content (statutes, regulations, treatises, caselaw, etc.) in Fastcase 6?

Yes! All the primary law content that was in Fastcase 6 is in Fastcase 7. For secondary content, Fastcase 7 has more content than Fastcase 6, including new secondary materials that are available without an additional charge. These include legal blogs from our partnership with Lexblog and expert witness profiles from our partnership with Jurispro.

Will it be easy to transition to or use the new Fastcase?

Yes! Not only will you have support materials like this one to answer common questions, there are a whole series of support materials available for you, from guided tours built into the system, on-demand videos, live webinars, quick reference guides, full users guides, and of course the wonderful Outreach team at Fastcase who are eager to answer any questions for you.

What are the technology requirements/ will the new Fastcase work with any browser?

Fastcase 7 is gorgeous in the common browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari). The new Fastcase  also works in Internet Explorer; however, as a responsible tech company, we encourage attorneys to use the newer browsers as many aspects of the older Internet Explorer browser are no longer being maintained by Microsoft.

What if we have new ideas for Fastcase?

We welcome new ideas! We would always love to hear feedback and to see if we can add new features as part of our development process. Please feel free to send those to us at support@fastcase.com!
