No hallucinations
Unverifiable references are removed, never guessed or approximated
AI hallucination is not a minor inconvenience in law. It is a professional risk.
Studies show general-purpose AI fabricates legal citations 30–45% of the time. On complex queries, independent research puts that figure between 69% and 88%. The cases look plausible — correct court, reasonable year, believable party names — but they do not exist.
Courts have sanctioned practitioners who relied on AI-generated phantom authorities. The Bar Council has issued guidance. The risk is real and growing.
General-purpose AI
- Generates citations from patterns, not sources
- No verification against primary law
- Confident tone masks uncertainty

Casebound AI
- Draws only from verified official databases
- Every citation confirmed before delivery
- Direct links to primary sources included
- Unverifiable references automatically removed
Bound to the law. Not making it up.
The term casebound comes from bookbinding — a casebound book is permanently fixed into its cover, built to last and built to be authoritative. Casebound AI works on the same principle: permanently bound to verified, primary, current law.
When you receive a Case Report or Research Report from Search the Law, every authority cited has been confirmed against its official source. Case law against The National Archives. Legislation against legislation.gov.uk. Guidance against GOV.UK.
If something cannot be confirmed, it does not appear in your results. That is the Casebound standard.
