Feed and case stream
Find matched cases, accept or decline assignments, and manage your active load.
What you'll do
By the end of this page, you'll know how to read the case feed, decide which cases to take, decline cleanly when one isn't a fit, and keep your active load under control.
Before you start
- A verified credential record and at least one specialty selected. Without these, no cases match you.
- A few minutes to scan the feed. Reading the full feed before committing beats accepting the first card you see.
Decline is safe
Declining a case does nothing to your match quality, your standing, or your future feed. The matching engine doesn't punish declines, and attorneys never see them. Only accept cases you intend to write — declining the rest is the right behavior, not a cost.
Step-by-step
-
Open Case Feed from the sidebar. The feed loads on the For me tab, which shows open cases that match your specialties and that you haven't opined on yet. You can also switch to In progress (cases where you've already submitted), All open (everything live on the platform), and Closed (past cases for reference).
-
Read a feed card. Each card shows:
- Case title — a short factual headline of the medical event.
- Case type — for example, Medical Malpractice, Personal Injury, or Other.
- Specialty chips — the specialties the attorney requested, with up to three shown plus a count.
- Jurisdiction — the U.S. state badge, if the case requires a specific licensure.
- Urgency — a Rush badge appears on rush cases; standard cases show no badge.
- Slots requested — how many physician opinions the attorney wants on this case.
- Time remaining — a countdown to the case's close date, or the closed date for past cases.
- Match score — a percentage indicating how well your profile matches this case. Cards with a meaningful score get a primary-color accent.
- Your status on the case — if you have a draft, the card shows "Draft in progress"; if you've submitted, it shows "Opinion submitted" and recedes visually.
Filter the feed by specialty, U.S. state, and urgency, sort by Newest first or Closing soon, and search by title from the same toolbar.
-
Open a case from the card. The case detail shows the narrative, any specific questions the attorney asked, an at-a-glance panel with patient and event details, and any attachments. Use Ask question to post a clarifying question to the attorney before you commit.
-
Accept the case by clicking Write opinion. The case stays yours while you draft — your draft auto-saves and the feed card flips to "Draft in progress" until you submit.
-
Decline by simply not opening or accepting the card. There's no decline button and no friction — the case stays in the feed for other matched physicians, and your standing is unchanged.
-
Pace your active load. Opinions are due before the case closes; the countdown on each card is your hard deadline. If you have several drafts open at once, the In progress tab is the fastest way to triage them.
-
If you discover a conflict — for example, you recognize the attorney, the defendant, or the events — declare it through the introduction request flow when applicable, or simply don't submit. Don't write an opinion on a case where you have a relationship to a party.
Tips
- Decline freely. Declining costs you nothing; over-committing and missing a deadline costs you a lot.
- Saving your specialty preferences refreshes what shows up under For me — the feed reflects your current profile, not a snapshot.
- The match score is a heuristic, not a verdict. A high score means the engine thinks you're a strong fit; read the case before you trust it.
- If your For me tab is empty, browse All open to scout cases adjacent to your specialty. Submitting on a case you don't match well is risky — the attorney chose specialties for a reason.
