Access to justice shouldn’t depend on your research budget.
Every day, people walk into court without knowing if the law is on their side — not because the answers don’t exist, but because they’re locked behind paywalls that cost thousands a year.
Barristers at small chambers. Solicitors in high-street firms. Housing advisers. Citizens Advice volunteers. Litigants in person. They all face the same problem: the tools that make legal research fast and reliable are priced for magic circle budgets.
We built Search the Law to change that.
25 official databases. One search. Court judgments, legislation, Hansard, tribunal decisions, regulatory guidance — all cross-referenced through a verified citation network of over 576,000+ case-to-case relationships. You can see instantly whether an authority has been applied, distinguished, or overruled.
No hallucinations. Every result links to a real case in a real database. Our AI translates your query into legal search terms — it doesn’t invent the answers.
Free to search. Always. Because knowing where you stand shouldn’t be a luxury.
The courtroom usher calls “All rise” because justice demands everyone’s attention. We think it demands everyone’s access, too.
Live status: our corpus is refreshed automatically every day from official UK sources — The National Archives, legislation.gov.uk, the tribunals and more.
