The Law Mind
Sources and verification

See the support.
Understand the checks.

Law Mind brings retrieved material, citation checks and source inspection into the research experience. Here is what each one tells you.

Open the authority behind a reference

The Table of Authorities groups recognized references by type. Resolved entries let you open available library documents. Sources also shows retrieved material, which may be broader than the authorities actually cited in the answer.

Check identity and quoted text

Recognized citation formats are matched to source metadata. Case-name checks and quotation comparisons are performed where supported. Review unresolved references, unpaired quotations and unavailable checks. Streamed answer text may appear before checking finishes.

A matched reference confirms source identity. A matched quotation confirms the wording within the checked text. Open the source to read the passage in its own context.

Investigate later treatment

Mind’s Eye surfaces negative-treatment signals from citing material. Each signal names the proposition affected, the court and the date, and links to the decision so you can read the treatment yourself.

Check the edition and relevant date

The library includes state and federal material, and each collection lists what it holds. A source snapshot date tells you which edition was checked, beside the enactment and effective dates carried in the text itself.

Use formatting tools as drafting assistance

Professional tools include citation formatting and review, including available Bluebook and Texas Greenbook modes. Each mode applies its style rules and flags entries where source metadata is incomplete, so you can line the result up with the applicable court’s requirements.

Come back to the answer you saved

My Research preserves completed answers and their saved citation assessments. Source links open the document available in the library, and the saved result keeps the edition and date it was checked against.

Carry the research into your own work

The source, the surrounding passage, the jurisdiction and the relevant date stay visible beside the answer, so the material you rely on travels with the work you build from it.
