From the authority to the finished file.

Search
Find the authority. Read the judgment.
UK judgments, stored in full. Public search opens shortly, free and without an account. Every result opens the judgment itself, at the paragraph that matters.

Confidential by design
Built for work that cannot leak.
Public law and private matters live on opposite sides of a hard boundary. What you upload stays yours.
Matters stay private
Client files are scoped to your organisation and never enter the public index.
Never used for training
Matter content is not used to train or tune any model.
Open source apps
The desktop app, web workspace, and redaction models are being released as open source, so you can read what runs on your machine.
Hosted in Europe
Hosted data is intended to stay in Europe, encrypted in transit and at rest.

How we build it.
- Citation integrity in evaluationFake authorities, misquotes, and unsupported propositions need separate scores. One headline accuracy number hides the failure modes that matter in practice.
- Why matter files never enter the open indexPublic UK judgments and private matter uploads are different systems on purpose. Mixing them would break the trust bar for firms.
- How to use public UK judgment searchNo account required. Lexical search over Obiter’s stored UK judgment corpus, with hits that open stored case pages.
Start with the public record.
