My Library & Case Research

Available on: Paralegal Junior Legal Practitioner Senior Legal Practitioner

My Library is your personal collection of saved judgments, and Research is a focused question-and-answer mode that analyses the full text of one judgment — different from Legal Research chat, which searches across the whole database.

Saving judgments to My Library

On any judgment's detail page, click Add to Library. Your saved judgments live in My Library, where each item has Research and Remove actions.

  • Junior Legal Practitioner — up to 50 saved judgments and 5 collections. A capacity meter shows how full your library is and turns red as you approach the limit.
  • Senior Legal Practitioner — unlimited judgments and collections.

Library Research: interrogating a saved case

Click Research on a library item to open a chat against that judgment alone. Ask anything the full text can answer: "What was the ratio on prescription?", "How did the court distinguish the earlier SCA authority?", "Summarise the minority judgment." Answers stream in and your question history for that judgment is kept during your session.

Direct Research: no saving required

You don't have to save a case first. The Research button on any judgment detail page opens the same question-and-answer mode as a temporary session — ideal for quickly interrogating a case you're only passing through. If it turns out to matter, add it to your library afterwards.

When to use which research mode

  • Legal Research chat — "What is the law on X?" Searches across the database.
  • Library / Direct Research — "What does this case say about X?" Reads the full text of one judgment.

On the Paralegal plan these Research features are not included; you'll be offered an upgrade when you try to use them. See the pricing page to compare plans.
