Case-Law-Driven Legal Research
Research supporting precedents and review available source references before professional use.
The Challenge
Legal research can require substantial searching across case databases, legislation, and commentary. Professionals need to find relevant precedents, understand how statutes have been interpreted, and investigate whether material authorities are missing.
How Lawg Helps
Lawg's knowledge graph maps available relationships between legislation, cases, and rulings. For a specific provision, Lawg may identify cases that INTERPRET, APPLY, or DISTINGUISH it. The result is a research aid, not a guarantee that every material authority has been identified.
Key Capabilities
- Configured coverage of Australian legislation, ATO rulings, and selected High Court and Federal Court decisions
- Knowledge graph showing INTERPRETS/CITES/AMENDS relationships between authorities
- Available [R1], [R2] citation markers can link to source material for review
- Query analysis can consider legal concepts as well as keywords
Use Case Example
Example research prompt: "Which Federal Court cases have interpreted Section 104-10 of ITAA 1997 regarding CGT events?" Review any returned cases and paragraphs against the original judgments and check for missing or later authorities.
