SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps users quickly determine what to research first in a legal question, including which statutes to start with, which case-law domains to target, and what search terms to use, without presenting unverified citations as facts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Problem-to-search translation: turns an initial legal question into a concrete research roadmap (statute starting points, case-law domains, secondary sources, and keywords).
  • Gap-finding for student work: when students upload partial research results, it helps synthesize what they found and identify what is still missing.
  • Safety-first “leads not authority” output: clearly labels all suggestions as unverified leads for students to validate with authoritative sources.

Quick Start

Ask: /legal-clinic:research-start "[省份]房屋租赁中以丧失居住条件为由的抗辩".

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a legal research roadmap for an unfamiliar jurisdiction?▼

To build a legal research roadmap, you specify the jurisdiction and legal issue, and the tool generates starting points for likely statutes, case-law domains, secondary sources, and database search keywords.

What is the best way to find gaps in my legal clinic research?▼

Finding gaps in legal clinic research involves uploading your partial results to synthesize what you found, identifying missing statutes or case-law domains, and generating new search keywords to locate the unverified leads.

Can I use these legal research leads as authoritative citations in my brief?▼

You cannot use these legal research leads as authoritative citations because all outputs are explicitly labeled as unverified leads that must be independently validated against authoritative sources.

How to translate a legal issue into database search keywords?▼

Translating a legal issue into database search keywords requires inputting the initial question and jurisdiction, which generates search-ready terms targeting relevant statutes, case-law domains, and secondary literature.

Does this tool provide verified statutes and case-law for my legal issue?▼

The tool does not provide verified statutes or case-law; it applies a safety-first approach by producing unverified leads and search routes that students must validate through authoritative legal databases.
