Legal Research Assistant

Ask the question you would ask a colleague

Overview

The Legal Research Assistant turns a question in ordinary language into a set of cited authorities: case law, legislation, regulator guidance and official commentary. It is built on retrieval rather than recall — the model does not answer from memory, it finds the source first and then explains what it found.

Grounded answers, or none at all

Every proposition in an answer carries a citation to a specific paragraph of a specific document. If the retrieval step cannot find supporting authority, the assistant says so rather than producing fluent text with nothing underneath it. This is the single most important design decision in the product, and the one that took longest to get right.

You can open any cited passage in place, see the surrounding context, and follow the citation graph forwards and backwards.

What is in the corpus

Coverage spans EU materials (CJEU judgments, regulations, directives, EDPB guidance), United Kingdom materials (reported judgments, statutes and statutory instruments, ICO and FCA guidance), French materials (Cour de cassation, Conseil d’État, codes and CNIL deliberations) and US federal materials (Supreme Court and Circuit opinions, the Code of Federal Regulations, FTC and SEC guidance).

Sources are refreshed daily. Each document records its retrieval date and its official source URL, so a citation can always be verified against the publisher.

Negative treatment and the duty to check

An authority that has been overruled, distinguished or subjected to critical judicial comment is flagged inline. We do not claim this replaces a citator subscription, and we say so in the interface: the flag tells you where to look, it does not discharge your obligation to look.

Saved questions and alerting

Research questions recur. Save a question and JuriPro re-runs it against new material as it arrives, alerting you when a new authority would have changed the answer. Teams use this to monitor developing areas — AI regulation, international transfers, employment status — without a standing horizon-scanning task.

Questions

Legal Research Assistant FAQ

Does it write the memo for me?

It drafts a structured answer with citations that you can edit and export. We would strongly discourage sending that output to a client without a lawyer reading every cited passage — and the product is designed to make that reading fast rather than to make it optional.

What if there is no clear answer?

The assistant reports the state of the authority, including where it conflicts or where the point is undecided. An honest 'this is unsettled, here are the competing lines' is more useful than a confident invention.

Can we add our own knowledge base?

Yes, on Professional and Enterprise plans. Your precedents, memos and know-how can be indexed alongside primary sources, with access controlled by your existing permissions groups.

Is the corpus available offline or on-premise?

Enterprise customers can run the assistant in a dedicated single-tenant environment in a region of their choosing. A fully air-gapped deployment is available by arrangement.
