Trialist

Search UK case law down to the paragraph — on your own hardware.

Trialist indexes every judgment published by the National Archives' Find Case Law service and returns the individual numbered paragraph you need, not a pile of documents. The whole stack runs inside your chambers or firm, so no client query ever leaves the building.

What it does

Pinpoint results

Hits are numbered paragraphs — the unit you actually cite. One click opens that paragraph inside the full judgment, and copy cite gives you a paste-ready pinpoint reference.

Search by proposition

Describe the point of law in plain English. Semantic search finds the passage even when it shares no keywords with your query, while case names, NCNs and "quoted phrases" still match exactly first.

Every citation is a link

Citations inside a judgment open the cited case where we hold it, and link out to Find Case Law where we don't. Your research trail is kept in your browser only.

Runs on-premise

Index, embeddings and interface all run on your own machine or a box in your server room. Nothing is sent to a third-party cloud — which is what makes confidentiality duties easy to answer.

Illustrative layout only — live results come from the published corpus.

Licensed, and deliberately narrow

Trialist is operated by Executive Force AI Ltd as a Find Case Law transactional licensee, and is built to the exact purpose of that licence: to publish the current version of judgments and provide search facilities to find and access them. Takedowns and amendments are enforced when a page is served, not just when the corpus is built, and Crown copyright is attributed throughout.

What Trialist does not do

  • No outcome prediction and no judge profiling.
  • No generated legal advice or AI-written answers.
  • No citator "overruled / applied" verdicts.

Everything on screen is a passage from a published judgment that you can read and check for yourself.
