Legal Research
Ask a legal question in plain English and get an answer grounded in your own documents and trusted legal sources — every claim cited back to the case, statute, or page it came from, so you can trace and verify it.
- What: Ask a legal question and get a cited answer grounded in your documents and trusted sources
- Input: A plain-language question + optional documents from your File Library
- Output: A traceable answer with numbered citations, plus suggested follow-ups
- Modes: Deep (thorough, multi-angle) · Concise (fast)
- Export: PDF, Word, or an evidence pack of every cited source — with citations
Why use Research
Traditional research tools make you know exactly what to search for and how to phrase it. Judicio takes a question the way you would put it to a colleague, then does the searching, reading, and synthesis for you — and shows its work.
Research helps by:
- Answering in plain language — describe your question naturally; no Boolean operators or field codes required.
- Grounding answers in your files — attach your contracts, briefs, or case files and Judicio reasons over the facts in your matter, not generic commentary.
- Searching trusted sources — case law and statutes across leading legal databases plus the open web, in one pass.
- Citing every claim — each statement links to the case, statute, or document page behind it, so nothing is taken on trust.
- Confirming jurisdiction — Judicio detects the relevant jurisdiction from your question and merges it with your profile across 100+ jurisdictions.
- Continuing the conversation — ask follow-up questions, narrow the scope, or turn the findings straight into a draft.
How it works
- Select your documents (optional) from the Files panel — Research works with or without files, but attaching the matter's files makes answers far more relevant.
- Ask your question in plain language under Ask Judicio, let Smart Suggestions propose questions from your files, or start from a Template.
- Judicio confirms jurisdiction and scope — detecting the relevant jurisdiction from your question, merging it with your profile, and asking a clarifying question when the request is ambiguous.
- Search and synthesis — Judicio searches authoritative databases and the web, reads the source material, and composes an answer.
- Review the cited answer — every claim carries a numbered citation; click one to open the source.
- Follow up, draft, or export — ask a follow-up, toggle Drafting to turn findings into a document, or export to PDF, Word, or an evidence pack.
Credit Cost
Research is billed per run, based on the work done (mode, attached files, and length). Deep mode does a more thorough multi-angle pass than Concise. See Credits Explained for details.
