Research that citeswhat it stands on.
Jurisdiction-aware answers across statutes, case law, and your own files — with every claim traced back to a source you can open.
8rney's legal research agent queries statutes, case law, and the documents you have uploaded in parallel, then returns a cited answer where each claim points at a real, verifiable source. Unlike a general assistant, it never invents authorities — if it cannot find something it can cite, it says so instead of guessing.
Every claim links back to a source you can open in two clicks
How it works
Four steps from question to cited answer
- 01
Set the jurisdiction
Choose India, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, or Singapore. The setting scopes every statute and case reference in the response.
- 02
Choose a research mode
Quick returns a concise answer in under a minute. Deep runs extended multi-source analysis. Manual lets you direct the agent step by step.
- 03
Ask in plain language
Statute interpretation, precedent lookup, cross-jurisdictional comparison. Attach matter documents and the answer is grounded in your own files too.
- 04
Review the streamed response
Claims trace back to a real statute, case number, or uploaded document. Follow-up prompts arrive ready, so you deepen the analysis without re-briefing.

Questions
Research agent FAQ
Does the research agent make up citations?
No. Every claim traces back to a real statute, case number, or document you uploaded. If the agent cannot find a verifiable source, it says so rather than guessing.
Which jurisdictions are supported?
India, United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and Singapore, with more being added. Every session has jurisdiction controls that apply to all statute and case references.
Can I use my own documents in a research query?
Yes. Upload files to a matter or your library and the agent uses them as context — so answers are grounded in your actual case documents, not just public sources.
What is the difference between Quick, Deep, and Manual?
Quick returns a concise answer fast, for known-law lookups. Deep runs extended multi-source analysis, for novel or complex questions. Manual lets you direct the agent step by step for full control.
Is this legal advice?
No. 8rney is a research and drafting tool. Final legal judgment and advice remain with qualified counsel. The agent handles the first pass; your expertise is the last step.
