}🟢case_search(query, court, after, before, form, ...)
Search Indiana Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and Tax Court clusters from a CourtListener extract. court is ind, indctapp, or indtc. form is memorandum or opinion when decision forms are indexed (text classification, not official status). disposition is affirmed, reversed, remanded, vacated, dismissed, mixed, or unlabeled when that index is loaded. A single label also matches a mixed closing that includes it. The label is a rule read of the closing line, not an official judgment. standard is de_novo, abuse_of_discretion, clearly_erroneous, sufficiency, prima_facie_error, substantial_evidence, or arbitrary_or_capricious when that index is loaded. Plain words such as 'de novo' are accepted. A standard is a rule read of a sentence that states it, not a ruling on which standard governs. separate is concurs, dissents, concurs_in_part, dissents_in_part, concurs_in_result, transfer_dissent, or joins when that index is loaded. That label is the slip's own "with separate opinion" vote line, not a holding. author is the slip byline name, or per_curiam, when that index is loaded. Most hits are metadata only.
