CasemakerX

CasemakerX is a new legal research database for students that includes cases, statutes, court rules, AG opinions, journal articles, etc. It is also a social networking tool which allows you the option to create a profile, post your resume and connect with other students. Many bar associations, including Colorado, provide free access to Casemaker to their members.

To receive your own password, go to the Databases / Indexes section of the Law Library’s homepage and click on CasemakerX. You will be asked to enter your name and BannerID number to verify that you are a DU Law student, faculty or staff member and then you will be given instructions on how to log in and create your profile. You can skip the profile and just use the legal research aspects of the system if that’s what you prefer.
