How to get an AI research brief grounded in Indian case law
Verified against the live portal — 23 Jul 2026Open Research → New research brief. Point it at a case — one you already track, one it finds for you by CNR or party name, or no case at all for a pre-filing question. Say who your client is and what you want to know, pick English or हिन्दी, and the brief is ready in about ten minutes with a WhatsApp ping when done. Every brief is grounded in 2.7 million+ Supreme Court and High Court judgments and 10 central acts — and every brief says plainly what it is: factual research, not legal advice.
Legal research has a fixed cost: hours in the digests to answer even a well-posed question. A research brief moves that cost to the machine — you say what you need to know, and a structured brief comes back with the ground it stands on. What it does not do is pretend to be your judgment: the brief is research, and it says so on its face.
Start from the case
Research → New research brief opens with three doors:
- Your tracked cases — pick from your board, and the brief reads that file.
- Find another case — give a CNR or search a party name; CourtWatch fetches and tracks the case, then continues.
- No case yet — for the pre-filing question: you want to know where a dispute stands before anything reaches a court.
Say who you are and what you need
Tell it which side your client is on, then ask the question in your own words — English, Hindi, or the Hinglish in which questions are actually asked. Then pick the brief language: English or हिन्दी. The language of the question and the language of the brief are independent — ask in one, receive in the other.
Generate, and let it come to you
Generating uses one brief from your plan's quota and takes about ten minutes; there is no need to stare at the screen — a WhatsApp message tells you when it is ready. In periods of high demand it can take longer, and the same message finds you when it lands.
Read it, download it, carry it
The brief opens in the reader, section by section, and travels as a PDF (Hindi briefs render in proper Devanagari, not boxes), a markdown file, or straight to print for the file.
FAQ
Is a research brief legal advice?
No, and it says so in its own text. A brief is factual and legal analysis drawn from court records and publicly available precedent — the decisions belong to a practising advocate, who should verify every citation against primary sources before relying on it.
Can I get the brief in Hindi?
Yes. A language toggle on the final step chooses English or हिन्दी for the brief itself, whatever language you asked in. Hindi briefs download as proper Devanagari PDFs.
What is the brief grounded in?
A corpus of 2.7 million+ reasoned judgments — Supreme Court plus the Delhi, Bombay, Madras, Allahabad, and Punjab & Haryana High Courts — and the sections of 10 central acts including IPC, BNS, CrPC, BNSS, the Evidence Act, BSA, CPC, the NI Act, the Constitution and the Contract Act.
How many briefs does my plan include?
Free and trial accounts get one trial brief. Advocate includes 5 briefs a month, Advocate Pro 10, and Firm 20.
