RECORDCITE
Appellate record extracts & case-law research

From the record
to the cite.

One Maryland appellate workspace: assemble court-ready record extracts — paginated, stamped, with a cover and linked table of contents — then cite them back into your brief and research the case law without leaving the matter.

The record extract

Upload your filings. Get a filed-ready extract.

Drop in the pleadings, transcripts, and exhibits. RecordCite paginates the whole record with an E. prefix, stamps every page, adds each document's filing-date header, builds the cover and a linked table of contents, and splits the volumes at Maryland's 300-page cap — never breaking a document across a volume.

Cover — Md. Rules 8-501/502/503

Auto file-stamping

Consecutive “E.” pages across every volume, in the corner you choose, on hundreds of pages at once.

Sectioned, down to the witness

Group by pleadings, motions, orders, transcripts, exhibits — and break each transcript into its direct, cross, and redirect examinations, all linked (Rule 8-501(h)).

Volume packing

Splits at the 300-page cap and keeps each document intact — a volume closes early rather than cut a transcript in half.

Filing-date headers

Each document carries “Filed: <date>” per Rule 8-501(i); its position and the page-number position are yours to set.

Scanned exhibits handled

Rotated / sideways scans are stamped correctly, and the whole extract can be OCR’d fully searchable.

Compliance check

A built-in checklist verifies TOC, filing headers, and the volume cap before you file.

The workspace

Arrange, split, and verify — before you build.

Drop your PDFs in and drag them into order. RecordCite lays out the whole record live — a color-coded page map, sections, automatic volume splits, and every E-page range computed as you go, with a compliance check against Md. Rules 8-501/502/503.

Brief cites

Turn a draft into a filed brief.

Point RecordCite at your draft. It converts trial shorthand into extract cites, verifies every case citation against the Maryland corpus, and builds a Rule 8-503 Table of Authorities. Your brief is uploaded over an encrypted connection, checked, then deleted automatically — only the citations, never your brief’s text, ever reach an outside service.

Record cites — “Tr. 45” / “Ex. 12” become (E. 269) / (E. 664–703), pinpoints and all

One-click TOA

Downloads a copy of your brief with a Word Table of Authorities that fills in its own page numbers.

House shorthand, taught once

Paste a real cite — DX-19, HT10th-P44:L16-18, PX-53@P10,P12 — and RecordCite maps it to the right transcript or party.

Case-law research

Search by meaning. Read like a lawyer.

Search the full Maryland appellate corpus in plain English — RecordCite ranks opinions by meaning, not keywords — or by exact quote. Then read them in a tabbed reader that keeps your place across every case you open.

Exact-quote lookup

Paste a quotation and find the opinion it came from — plus optional live CourtListener search.

Multi-case tabs

Follow a citation without losing your place — every case opens in its own tab.

Case-law research

Every citation, connected — and yours to annotate.

Each opinion arrives with its table of authorities, the later cases that cite it, and every inline citation turned into a hyperlink to the case at the pincite — then mark it up in five highlight colors, copy a quote already cited, and export a clean copy with your highlights intact.

Case-law research

Organize every matter.

Save cases into matter folders in the sidebar — each opinion nests under its project, and your highlights and notes come with it. Open a project's research view to see every saved case with its highlight digest and notes, then export a Word memo. A floating scratchpad keeps cross-case notes at hand.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a Maryland record extract?
Under Maryland Rules 8-501 to 8-503, the record extract is the paginated, tabbed excerpt of the trial-court record that is filed with an appellate brief. RecordCite assembles it — continuous “E.” pagination, a cover, a linked table of contents, and a filing-date header on every document.
How does RecordCite paginate and stamp a record extract?
It stamps every page with a consecutive “E.” number in the corner you choose, adds each document’s “Filed: <date>” header, breaks each transcript into its direct, cross, and redirect examinations in the table of contents, and splits volumes at the 300-page cap without cutting a document in half.
Can RecordCite check the citations in my appellate brief?
Yes. It converts trial shorthand such as “Tr. 45” and “Ex. 12” into the matching (E. __) extract pages, verifies every case citation against the Maryland opinion corpus, and builds a Rule 8-503 Table of Authorities. Your brief is uploaded over an encrypted connection, checked, and deleted automatically — only the citations themselves, never your brief’s text, are sent to any outside service.
Does RecordCite search Maryland case law?
Yes. Search roughly 45,000 Maryland appellate opinions by meaning (natural language) or by exact quote, read them with their table of authorities, “cited by” list, and hyperlinked pincites, highlight and take notes, and organize cases into matter folders with a Word research memo.
Is my data kept private?
Uploaded records and briefs are processed on demand and deleted automatically — we don’t retain them or use them to train anything, and each firm’s data is walled off from every other’s. Only citation tokens (never your brief’s text) are sent to any third-party service.
Which Maryland courts does RecordCite support?
RecordCite is built for the Appellate Court of Maryland and the Supreme Court of Maryland, following Maryland Rules 8-501, 8-502, and 8-503 for record extracts.
