Web research and case law

Ai can go beyond your documents and search the web: current information, legislation, news or precedent court decisions for a petition. It writes only what it actually found in the search results and puts the source link next to each item; if it finds nothing it says so. If it writes an invented link, catches it, removes the link and writes "source could not be verified" next to it. A search usually takes 10-40 seconds; meanwhile a "Searching the web…" indicator with the elapsed time shows under the reply, and in voice mode the assistant also tells you out loud that it is still searching.

1. 1In the chat, turn on "Search the web" from the ··· menu at the top right. While it is on, a "Web search is on" line appears above the text box; "Turn off" turns it off. Even with the switch off, if you ask explicitly, such as "search the web" or "is there case law for this?", it searches for that question; voice mode works the same way.
2. 2You can give your petition to Ai and ask "is there case law for this petition?". Decisions come with the court and chamber, case and decision numbers, date and a short summary, with the source link.
3. 3While writing a letter: Tools › Write a letter › "Find case law". Type a topic if you like (if you leave it empty it searches based on your text) and tap "Search". In the result, "Add to petition" appends only the decisions with verified links, under a "PRECEDENT DECISIONS" heading with a "check at the source" note.

Before putting decisions in a petition, always open the link and check the text and that it is current; Ai does not give legal advice, it reports what it found.
