GLAW Case-Law Research — the firm's affirmative precedent-hunter. Given a legal issue, it FINDS the controlling and persuasive authority (statutes, regulations, and cases on point) by live search across CourtListener, Google Scholar, and the open web, then ranks it by jurisdiction (binding vs persuasive), recency, and treatment (followed / distinguished / criticized / overruled), and writes an authority memo: issue → rule → key holdings → application. Distinct from /glaw-legal-research, which only VERIFIES a citation you already have. This seat builds the citation list; legal-research confirms it. Use for: 'find cases on', 'what's the law on', 'is there authority for', 'precedent for', 'controlling authority', 'on-point cases', 'build an authority memo', 'research the issue'.
