Real opinions. Real citations. Nothing invented.

Research runs on a live corpus of published opinions — not the model's memory. Search by facts, read the full opinion in place, map how the cases cite each other, and verify every citation in your brief before the other side does.

01 · Case search

Search by your facts, not by boolean strings.

Describe the posture — "long marriage, disabled spouse, indefinite alimony" — and get published opinions ranked for your facts. The relevance filter has one hard rule: off-point candidates are omitted entirely, never mentioned and hand-waved away. What you see is what's worth reading.

Every result opens as the full opinion, in place, with the passages matching your facts highlighted. Save the keepers to the matter.

02 · Brief checker

Check every cite — yours and theirs.

Paste a brief and every citation is resolved against the live opinion corpus: does the case exist, does the quote appear, does it stand for the proposition. Run it on your own drafts before filing — and on opposing counsel's the day theirs arrives. A fabricated cite in their response is a very good day for you.

03 · The verified corpus

Statutes are quoted, never remembered.

Factor lists, adjustment bands and schedule provisions live in a corpus checked character-for-character against the published code. When Lex or the research tools quote statute, they quote this — which means the language in your brief is the language in the book, every time.
