Structured for AI

Legal intelligence starts with structure.

Access to primary law is only the beginning. Descrybe structures cases, citations, courts, treatment signals, legal issues, and source passages so assistants and agents can retrieve relevant authority, inspect later treatment, verify quotations, and return to the underlying sources.

See how Legal Engine works

Structured authority

Case identity, court, date, citations, separate opinions, treatment, and source links remain distinct.

Focused source passages

Assistants can retrieve a small, ranked set of passages for the issue, rule, quotation, or fact pattern.

Tools for legal verification

Citation resolution, citing-case research, treatment checks, and quote verification support the work at the right point.

Beyond Confidently Wrong: How Purpose-Built AI Mitigates Legal Reasoning's Hidden Risk

Our published benchmark across 200 Multistate Bar Exam questions found that DescrybeLM, grounded in verified primary law, scored 99.7% on reasoning quality and answered every question correctly, outperforming the foundation models tested. The study showed why grounding matters: legal AI answers are more reliable when reasoning is tied to verified primary law, rather than model confidence alone. Now ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Perplexity users have that foundation through Descrybe Legal Engine.

Descrybe delivers robust, verifiable results competitive with the best tools in the market — at a price point that doesn't exclude the people who need them most. People deserve access to the law with confidence, and Descrybe gives them a credible, reliable way to get there.

Dr. Megan Ma

With another innovative and low-cost legal research service, Casetext, now gone, thanks to its acquisition by Thomson Reuters, there is a need for a service such as Descrybe — and there is a huge opportunity for Descrybe to fill that gap.

As someone who spends a great deal of time evaluating legal technology, I was genuinely impressed by Descrybe. It reflects a thoughtful approach to legal AI, prioritizing transparency, ethics, and meaningful access to legal information. Tools like this have the potential to make a real difference for both legal professionals and the public.

Descrybe isn't legal tech for the sake of legal tech. It's a purpose-built system that brings accurate, accessible legal reasoning to anyone who needs it, lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

Ray Brescia

I've evaluated countless tools that promise to streamline legal research and analysis, but few deliver with the precision and practicality of Descrybe. In an era where time and clarity are at a premium, Descrybe is setting a new standard for how legal information is consumed and understood.
