Legal Research AI
An AI legal assistant grounded in a locally hosted corpus of about 75,000 UK judgments, the full UK statute book, the Civil Procedure Rules and 5,400 professional-conduct provisions. Research with verifiable citations, matter management with a CPR deadline engine, and drafting, with the same legal tools served to the web app and to any MCP client.

Legal Research AI
The problem
General-purpose AI invents case law. Lawyers need answers they can check.
What I built
- Corpus: about 75,000 UK judgments (UKSC, Court of Appeal, High Court and tribunals), the full UK statute book, 7,047 CPR rules and Practice Directions, and 5,400 professional-conduct provisions, held locally with full-text and vector search.
- Grounded answers: every authority is checked against the corpus: citation verification, "is it still good law" checks and support checks that a case says what it is cited for.
- Matter management: documents, deadlines from a CPR deadline engine, drafting and case preparation, built as a module on the multi-tenant framework.
- MCP: the same legal tools are served to the web app and to any MCP client, so an AI assistant can research with them directly.
Private system: a walkthrough or live demo is available on request.
