The Problem
AI tools have gotten attorneys
sanctioned by courts.
Courts have sanctioned attorneys for citing cases that don’t exist — generated by AI tools with no connection to real case law. For pro se litigants, there has been no affordable alternative that addresses this.
❌ General AI tools
Confident. Plausible. Wrong.
AI tools generate case names and citations from memory. The cases often don’t exist. Judges have struck motions and sanctioned attorneys. Pro se litigants have no way to check.

How It Works
Ask in plain English.
Get verified answers.
01
Ask your legal question
Type naturally — “how do I challenge a judgment in Tennessee” or “what do I need to prove for wrongful termination.” No Boolean syntax, no law school required.
02
We find the real cases
We search millions of real court opinions and rank them by authority — Supreme Court, circuit precedent, and your jurisdiction weighted appropriately.
03
Verify every citation
Every case in your answer links to the source opinion. Read the actual text, confirm the jurisdiction, and verify the holding before using it in your work.
Why ClearPrecedent
Built for people who
need research they can rely on.
Jurisdiction-aware, always
Results are scoped to your court and jurisdiction. When jurisdictional context is unclear, we ask rather than assume.
Court rules included
Search filing deadlines, page limits, and local court rules alongside case law — all in one place, always from the official source.
Pricing
Professional research.
Accessible price.
Westlaw costs more per month than most people’s car payments. ClearPrecedent is built for everyone else.
