Solutions to common problems

Login Issues

Can't Log In

  • Double-check your email and password
  • Try "Forgot Password" to reset
  • Clear your browser cache and cookies
  • Try a different browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge)
  • Disable browser extensions that might interfere

Session Expired

Sessions last 16 hours. After that, you'll need to log in again. This is normal and designed to balance security with convenience during long shifts.

Scenario Analysis Issues

Analysis Taking Too Long

Analyses typically take 10-30 seconds. If longer:

  • Check your internet connection
  • Wait up to 60 seconds for complex scenarios
  • If still loading, refresh the page and try again

Analysis Doesn't Address My Question

  • Include more specific details in your scenario
  • Ask a clear question at the end (e.g., "Can I search?")
  • Use the follow-up box to ask clarifying questions
  • Try rephrasing your scenario

Unverified Cases (Yellow Warnings)

This means the case couldn't be verified in our database. It doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong, but you should verify independently before citing.

Our legal team is automatically notified when unverified cases appear.

Dictation Issues

Note: Dictation only works on Chrome, Edge, and Safari. It is not supported on Firefox.
