The ROSS Find Similar Language feature allows you to select language from a case and find other cases discussing the same or similar concepts. Users tell us they love this feature because it helps them quickly find the complete universe of cases that discuss a specific fact pattern or point of law.

When you click the Find Similar Language prompt, ROSS will conduct a search for decisions that include language discussing the same concepts in the same context.

That’s one of the ways ROSS helps you quickly find cases you might miss on other platforms that rely on identical keyword matching.
