PreCYdent is based on two fundamental principles. PreCYdent believes that all lawyers, law librarians, law students, and the general public should have access to state-of-the-art search technology to help them navigate through the large and complex body of legal authority. PreCydent also believe judicial opinions and statutes must be in the public domain, in practice as well as in theory. PreCYdent search technology is able to mine the information latent in the "Web of Law", the network of citations among legal authorities. This means it is also able to retrieve legally relevant authorities, even if the search terms do not actually occur or occur frequently in the retrieved document. Teh PReCydent website only covers U.S. Supreme Court and U.S. Court of Appeals cases at this time. They are working to extend their service to cover all U.S. federal and state cases and statutory materials. [|**http://www.precydent.com/**]
