A student-built legal repository. Independent, rigorous, and free.
CaseHub is an independent legal repository built by a student with a passion for law. It exists to make rigorous legal analysis accessible — not locked behind academic paywalls or buried in textbooks. Every case analysis, essay, and glossary entry is written and edited by a human, with genuine critical engagement rather than surface-level summary.
CaseHub provides structured, academic-quality analysis of landmark legal cases across five core fields: Tort Law, Criminal Law, Cyber Law, Animal Welfare, and Jurisprudence. Each case entry follows a consistent template including ratio decidendi, obiter dicta, historical context, and original critical evaluation.
Legal education is often inaccessible. CaseHub is built on the belief that anyone serious about law — whether a sixth-form student, a first-year undergraduate, or a curious reader — deserves access to the same depth of analysis that expensive textbooks and journal subscriptions provide.
A distinguishing feature of CaseHub is its comparative approach. Rather than treating English law in isolation, the essays on this site actively engage with French civil law, German constitutional law, EU law, and US frameworks — situating English doctrine within a broader global conversation.
The 'Critical Evaluation' section in every case analysis is not borrowed from textbooks — it is original thinking about how each case applies to modern questions: AI liability, digital rights, animal personhood, and more. Law is not static, and the commentary here tries to reflect that.
Adding 50+ more cases across all five fields, with priority on post-2020 decisions and EU/comparative cases.
Curated reading lists by topic — e.g. 'The Law of Negligence: A Reading Path from Donoghue to Robinson' — to help students study systematically.
An interactive visual timeline showing how legal doctrine has developed over time — tracing, for example, the evolution of negligence from 1932 to 2024.
Planned essays on psychiatric harm, contract formation across common law and civil law systems, and the right to life under international human rights frameworks.
Annotated summaries of key Acts of Parliament and EU Regulations, cross-referenced with relevant cases throughout the database.
