How the LawyerInsight assistant shows its sources
What the assistant answers from, how to read its source markers, and why you should still check a citation.

When you ask the assistant a question, it answers from the Supreme Court records in LawyerInsight and marks where each statement came from.
Reading the source markers
Look for numbers in square brackets, like [1], inside the answer. Each marker points to a source listed under the answer: a judgment, an order or a case record. Open it to read the original text.
What to check before you rely on it
- Open the source and read the passage the answer relies on.
- Check the case name, number and date against the order itself.
- Treat anything without a source marker as a starting point, not a finding.
What it does not do
- It does not rank lawyers, and it does not predict how a named judge will decide.
- It does not give legal advice. It is a research aid.
Numbers and statistics in LawyerInsight link to their definitions on the methodology page.
