H-Index for Barristers based on citationsRight now it can be difficult for solicitors to know who are more experienced or competent counsel when they are looking for someone to brief. It would be amazing to have an equivalent to an academic H-Index, and would be quite easily implemented (eg in each decision, the counsel's name is crawled and aggregated to a particular counsel's 'profile'. Counsel could register on jade and claim their profile and fill in details like a link to their bio etc. and can 'claim' decisions which are missed by the automatic function.

 Thanks for your great service.

offer an obiter dictum identifier similar to that of your Citator tool.Similar to that of the Citator tool, it would prove beneficial having a tool that could identifier obiter statements within a case. 33 votesWe are working on precisely this kind of identification. It’s a little harder than CaseTrace (our citator tool), but stay tuned. The first stage is ready and will be deployed in the week of 16 June 2015.

Consider better integration of user-generated content.I assume that the team at Jade is familiar with CaseText (https://casetext.com/), a free US legal research site. CaseText's integration of user-generated content is quite seamless and user-friendly--perhaps in ways that Jade is not. Might be worth considering. 7 votesHi Alexander, we do integrate user-generated content. We are working to improve the integration in our next UI improvement round happening early in Q3, 2015.
