Legal AI glossary
Legal research
Finding, reading and checking the law that applies to a legal question.
What Legal research means
Legal research means identifying the relevant legislation, cases and guidance, reading them, checking they are current and apply in the right jurisdiction, and recording the authorities relied on.
AI tools can speed up the finding and summarising, but the reading and checking remain the researcher’s job.
In Consilena
Consilena searches its law library, shows each research step in the work trace and cites the provision behind each claim. It covers legislation, not UK or German case law.
