Give Gemini your federal case

What Gemini can do with CaseMagic

"Check case 1:23-cv-11195 in the Southern District of New York."

The caption, the court, the judges, the cause of action and the latest docket entries, read from the court source while you wait. No CaseMagic account needed.

"Explain the latest filing in that case."

The exact words the court published for that entry, the entries around it and where the case stands, so the assistant can explain the filing rather than guess at it. Still no account needed.

"What dates are set in that case?"

Only the dates the docket itself states — "Responses due by 14 October", "Hearing set for 2 March" — each quoted with the entry that says so. CaseMagic works nothing out from the court rules, and says so when the docket sets no dates.

"What happened in my case this week?"

Every docket entry CaseMagic has recorded since then, with the date each one was filed.

"Keep watching this case and tell me when it changes."

Monitoring starts on the case, and CaseMagic emails you when the docket moves — whether or not you ever open the assistant again.

"What did opposing counsel send to my case address?"

The correspondence collected at the case’s CaseMail address, kept alongside the docket in the same record.

"Load everything you have on my case before we start."

The Case Passport: the docket history and the correspondence as one record, so nothing has to be re-uploaded or re-explained.

How to connect

1. Gemini is different from the other three: Google publishes no place to install a connector, so there is nothing to add inside the Gemini app itself.
2. Where Gemini is reached through Google’s developer API, CaseMagic is declared as a set of tools in the request. The tool definitions are published, ready to paste, at /api/v1/ai/gemini/tools.
3. Sign in to CaseMagic once in a browser to authorise the connection. That page names exactly what it will be allowed to do before anything is shared.
4. Ask about the case.

This is the one of the four where the provider has the most still to build. Google’s own developer documentation and Google’s own published code library currently disagree about whether Gemini can call a remote server like CaseMagic directly. Until that is settled by testing, the table below says untested, and it will keep saying untested until it has been tried against the live API.

For developers: what Gemini can call

CaseMagic exposes eight actions to Gemini: findFederalCase, getCaseStatus, getRecentCaseActivity, getCaseUpdates, getCaseDocuments, getCaseDeadlines, createCasePassport and watchCase. They are the same actions behind the same services the website uses, under names written for how a person asks the question.

Six of the eight only read. Two of them — watchCase and createCasePassport — change the account, and CaseMagic refuses both unless the caller has been given that user’s explicit permission for that specific action. Nothing in the set can take a payment: there is no checkout tool, and on an account without a subscription watchCase returns a link for a person to open rather than starting anything.

getCaseDeadlines is the odd one, deliberately. CaseMagic does not calculate deadlines, because a response date depends on local rules, standing orders and extensions that the docket does not carry. The tool exists so that a model asking about deadlines is told that, in so many words, instead of working a date out from filing dates on its own.

The same eight capabilities are reachable over the Model Context Protocol at the address above, under their protocol names. Either route runs the same code.

curl -X POST "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/interactions" \
  -H "x-goog-api-key: $GEMINI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "$(curl -s https://casemagic.ai/api/v1/ai/gemini/tools \
        | jq '{model, tools, input: "Check federal case 1:23-cv-11195 in nysd."}')"

What CaseMagic shares

• The case you ask about: its caption, court, case number, judges and docket entries, read from the court source.
• For a case you have connected, its Case Passport — the docket history and the correspondence collected at its CaseMail address, as one record.
• Nothing about any case you have not connected, and nothing about any other account.

It travels one way. CaseMagic receives the requests Gemini makes to it and nothing else: not the rest of your conversation, not your files, not your other tools.

Privacy and permissions

Before anything is shared, CaseMagic shows you a sign-in screen naming exactly four permissions. These are the four, in the words that screen uses:

• Read the cases you have connected: docket activity and your Case Passport.
• Connect a case and start or stop CaseMagic Watch on it.
• Read the correspondence in your CaseMail address for a connected case.
• Draft a CaseMail message for you to review. It can never send one by itself.

The last one is worth reading twice: an assistant can write a message for you and can never send one. It hands you a link, the link expires, and nothing leaves CaseMagic until you open it and confirm.

Disconnecting ends the access at once rather than at the end of a session, and it changes nothing about your case: the docket history, the CaseMail address and the Case Passport all stay exactly as they were. See how CaseMagic handles your data.

Where this stands, honestly

Nothing below is marked as working until someone has connected it and watched a real case come back. The CaseMagic side is live in production; what is untested is this provider's half of the handshake.

What is free and what is paid

Everything about the past is free. Everything about the future is paid. Checking a case costs nothing and needs no account.

A free check reads the court source and then serves the same answer for 15 minutes. A watched case is re-checked about every 6 hours. Nothing here is real time, and every result carries the time it was last checked.
