“Comprehensive data is the foundation of the legal research product Legora is building. The potential of AI in legal research is immense,” said Melanie Brown, Senior Director Legal Data, at Legora. “For over a century, legal research has meant paying a navigation tax: picking the right database, crafting the right Boolean search, chasing cross-references and headnotes – all before lawyers could start the real work. Legora is building to change that.”

Legal research has long been locked behind a handful of providers, each holding a different slice of the law. Legora is developing a US primary law corpus from the ground up, source by source, and giving customers full visibility into exactly what's covered, how current it is, how it was verified, and our roadmap.

What's live now for all Legora customers:

• Case law - comprehensive federal and state appellate coverage, updated every 24 hours from the courts and the official reporters, with all page numbers and pincites. Every case’s accuracy is manually verified through a meticulous dual-keying QA process. Historical coverage to official reporter inception detailed below.

• Statutes & regulations - continuously updated US statutes, regulations, executive orders, and federal legislation.

• Agency guidance - 192 sources across more than 50 federal agencies and offices, with more added every week.

In late August, we will take the stage at ILTAcon to reveal more about our plans and tell the world how serious we are about truly rebuilding legal research as we know it, AI-native.
