Legal research that cites its sources.

No. CommonBench provides AI-generated legal information for reference purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice and no solicitor-client relationship is created. Always verify with a qualified practitioner before acting on any output.

Every citation is checked for existence against our corpus and, where source policy permits, against live public endpoints. Verified citations display a ✓ badge; unconfirmed citations are flagged; failures are stripped before display. Existence checks do not prove good law or that a proposition is correct. No automated check is infallible — confirm any authority before relying on it in proceedings.

England & Wales, the United States (Supreme Court and federal appellate, with selective state coverage), Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia (federal and state appellate courts). Scotland and Northern Ireland queries may be accepted under the UK selector, but the corpus and procedural tooling are England-and-Wales-centric — not full Scots or Northern Irish coverage. Curated civil-procedure and family/matrimonial doctrine is included; it is not a substitute for the current White Book, local forms, or specialist family practice. US state-specific research — including family law, which is state law — should be verified locally.

Yes — for Hong Kong and Singapore only. When you select Hong Kong or Singapore, you can write in Traditional Chinese (繁體中文) or Simplified Chinese (简体中文) and receive a legal analysis in the matching script. For England & Wales, Australia, and the United States, answers are in English even if the question is asked in Chinese: those systems are not treated as Chinese advice languages here. Chinese answers use Hong Kong / Singapore common-law register; they are not Mainland PRC civil-procedure advice.

Every tier runs the same engine and the same verified corpus. Completeness does not change with price — every tier must surface the material issues, the adverse points, and the next steps. What you pay for is professional judgment (junior-associate on Starter, partner on Advocate, senior-counsel forensic synthesis on Chambers) plus capacity and workflow. Starter covers one live dispute (~250 questions/month). Advocate adds document upload, costs & ADR sequencing, priority processing (~600/month). Chambers is per-seat billing for firms with hard isolation (~1,200/seat/month).

A full reasoned analysis typically takes about three minutes. Deeper multi-issue questions can take longer (often two to six minutes) because the model reasons before it writes; shorter starter queries are usually faster. Citation checks and self-critique finish after the answer starts streaming, so you see the substance as soon as the model finishes drafting.
