AI legal research with an address — every claim pin‑cited

Answers with an address, grounded in the full text of 2.07 crore+ Indian judgments. Every sentence carries a pin-cite — [1, p.12] — that opens the source judgment at that very page. If the law can't support a claim, it never reaches your screen.

The short answer

Lawgger is AI legal research for Indian advocates. It reads 2.07 crore full-text judgments from the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, 1,607 central and state acts across 37 jurisdictions, 1.28 crore case-to-section links and 18 lakh citation links. Every claim in an answer carries a pin-cite that opens the judgement at that page, and every authority is checked for good law first.

How do I check whether a judgment is still good law?

You look at how later courts have treated it — followed, distinguished, referred, or overruled. Lawgger does that on every authority before it reaches you, and shows the verdict beside the citation. The verdicts are anchored in Supreme Court holdings, worked out from the citations themselves rather than written by the AI. There is a longer explanation of what "still good law" means in Indian practice, and Authority Check below does the same job for a whole brief.

Authority Check

Can I check every citation in a brief at once?

Yes. Paste a brief, an opponent's synopsis, or your own draft. Lawgger picks out every authority it relies on and returns a Table of Authorities with a good-law verdict against each — before the other side does it to you.

Section Explorer

Can I search case law by section number?

Yes — browse it the way you think, statute first. All cases on S.138 NI Act. Everything on Art. 226. Pick a statute, pick a section, and 1.28 crore case-to-section links do the rest. It holds across the old and new criminal law numbering too, which is why the IPC to BNS section map sits alongside it while both sets of numbers are in daily use.

Online legal research in the language you think in

Lawgger works in ten Indian languages. You can put the question in the language you argue in and read the answer there, while every pin-cite still opens the original judgment.

That matters more than it sounds. In district and High Court practice the record, the evidence and half the argument are often not in English, and a research tool that only speaks English quietly adds a translation step to every search. Judgement search in Lawgger is the same whichever spelling or language you start from — you are always reaching the same 2.07 crore full-text judgments.

The coverage is court by court. There is a page for the Supreme Court of India and one for each of the 25 High Courts — Delhi, Bombay, Madras and the rest are listed on the courts hub, alongside the live boards and cause lists that run during court hours.

What you do with the research usually happens next door: a citation you have checked goes into a draft, and the date it creates goes into the limitation clocks. If you would rather have the reading done for you, the Lawgger agent runs the same sources and shows its working.

If you are still comparing options, the sober version is in the best legal research tools in India, with the specific write-ups on SCC Online, Manupatra and Indian Kanoon. Terms of art used above — pin-cite, citator, good law — are all defined in the glossary, and students can start on the law students' page.

Questions, answered

What advocates ask before they trust a citation

You check how later courts have treated it — followed, distinguished, referred, or overruled. Lawgger does this on every authority it gives you and shows the verdict beside the citation. You can also paste a whole brief into Authority Check and get back a Table of Authorities with a good-law verdict against each case.

A pin-cite points to the exact page of the judgment a statement came from, not just the case name. In Lawgger, every sentence of an answer carries one, and clicking it opens the judgment at that page. That is what lets you read the passage in the original before you put it in a draft.

The Supreme Court of India and all 25 High Courts, in full text — 2.07 crore judgments. Alongside them sit 1,607 central and state acts across 37 jurisdictions, 1.28 crore case-to-section links and 18 lakh citation links, so you can move from a provision to the case law under it without starting a fresh search.

Yes. 1.28 crore case-to-section links connect provisions to the judgments decided under them, so you can start from a section of an act and see what has been held on it. This also works across the old and new criminal law numbering, which matters while both sets of section numbers are in daily use.

Yes, in ten Indian languages. You can ask a research question in the language you think in and read the answer there, while the pin-cites still open the original judgment. This matters most in district and High Court practice where the record and the argument are not always in English.

Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial of the full product and no card is required to begin, so you can test the pin-cites and the good-law verdicts on your own matters. After the trial, access is ₹1,999 a month or ₹19,999 a year, and you can cancel at any time.

How it stays honest

How do I know the answer isn't invented?

Because you can open every source it used, and because Lawgger is built so the easy path is the truthful one. When the law does not support a claim, it declines instead of writing something that sounds right — the failure mode the profession now calls an AI hallucination. Watch it decide.

01

Only from real judgments

If it isn't in the sources, it doesn't go in the answer. Full stop.

02

Refusal over conjecture

Below the confidence threshold, Lawgger says so — and stops. A non-answer beats a wrong one.

03

Zero hallucinated citations

In evaluation, every citation pointed to a real judgment. Not one invented case.

04

Verifiable by design

Every pin-cite opens the source PDF at the page it points to. Check us, sentence by sentence.
