Find Relevant Authority. Faster.
Search and analyze federal and state case law, statutes, regulations, and court opinions with jurisdiction-aware AI built for practicing attorneys.
Legal Research Designed for the Way Attorneys Actually Work
Attorney Talk AI's legal research engine is built around the workflows of practicing attorneys — not generic search. Query natural-language questions, receive jurisdiction-filtered results, and review every authority with full citation data before relying on it in your work.
What the Research Engine Covers
Federal and State Case Law
Search across available federal and state court decisions — from U.S. Supreme Court opinions to circuit and district court rulings, and state appellate and trial court decisions across available jurisdictions.
Statutes and Regulations
Research federal and state statutes, administrative regulations, and agency guidance documents. Identify the controlling statutory framework for any legal question.
Court Opinions and Orders
Access court opinions, orders, and published decisions from available federal and state courts. Review the full text of opinions alongside AI-generated summaries.
Jurisdiction-Aware Filtering
Research filtered and contextualized by jurisdiction. Surface controlling authority in your jurisdiction first — then persuasive authority from other circuits and states.
Precedent Comparison
Compare similar cases side by side. Identify factual and legal parallels, distinguish adverse authority, and build a comprehensive picture of how courts have ruled on analogous issues.
Controlling vs. Persuasive Authority
The research engine distinguishes between controlling authority in your jurisdiction and persuasive authority from other courts — so you know exactly what weight each result carries.
Every Result Built for Independent Verification
Attorney Talk AI research results are designed so attorneys can verify every authority before relying on it. Each result surfaces the full citation record — jurisdiction, court, decision date, citation format, source, and subsequent treatment — alongside the AI-generated summary.
Attorney Talk AI provides comprehensive research across available historical and current legal authorities from authorized sources. It does not guarantee access to every case ever decided.
