ACCESS KNOW

CTLA Knowledge Environment (Know)

Decades of CTLA knowledge. Now at your fingertips.

Know is a members-only research tool that brings decades of knowledge shared by the CTLA community into one secure place.

Search past Listserv discussions, public expert testimony, litigation strategies, educational materials, shared documents, and more—or ask Know a question just like you’d ask a colleague.

What can you do with Know?

Ask a Question

Use Research Chat to ask questions in plain language. Know searches CTLA resources and gives you an answer with citations to the materials it used.

Find What You Need

Use Search to quickly find Listserv discussions, documents, experts, prior strategies, and other resources. Narrow your results by source, file type, author, and more.

Dig Deeper

Ask follow-up questions, focus your research on specific files, or create private notebooks to keep useful materials together.

Go Beyond CTLA

Need current information? Turn on Web Search to add information from the open web to your research.

Tip: Always review the source citations and original materials before relying on information in your work.
