Statutes, court rules, case law, treatises, practice guides and forms in one curated collection — searchable by ordinary question. Every answer comes back with the page it came from, and nothing else.
A research tool, not legal advice. Case Lookup reports what the documents in the library say and shows you the page. It does not apply law to your facts, assess whether you have a case, predict an outcome, or recommend what to do. Using it creates no attorney-client relationship. For your own matter, consult an attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.
The library covers this for Illinois only.
735 ILCS 5/13-202 (Illinois statute) gives “two years next after the cause of action accrued” Page 118. A practice guide in the library — commentary, not the statute — describes the discovery rule as affecting when that period begins Page 44.
When the period started running, and any tolling, decide the actual date; this doesn't compute it. The statute volume is dated 2019 and there's no way here to tell whether § 13-202 has been amended since.
Tap either citation to read the actual page.
Every member can expand the library — drag in PDFs, documents, spreadsheets or scanned pages, or import from Box. A 2,000-page code volume indexes in about two minutes.
Submissions wait in a queue until someone vets them. Nothing is searchable or citable until it's approved — so the collection stays curated, and everyone works from the same one.
“What does the rule require in a motion to dismiss?” Every statement carries its document and page. Tap a citation and the real page opens — subsections, notes and all.
The collection isn't handed down from a vendor — the people who use it are the people who build it, and everyone searches what everyone contributed.
Answers are drawn from the uploaded documents and nowhere else. No internet, no general legal knowledge filling the gaps.
Every source is named with the jurisdiction it comes from. If the library only holds another state's material, the answer leads with that.
A statute is not a treatise and a form book is not a holding. Each citation is labelled with what kind of source it actually is.
A limitations period appears exactly as printed, with its citation, and a note that the trigger date and tolling decide the real one. It won't do the arithmetic.
Circuit splits and competing treatises come back as both positions with a citation each — not resolved into one rule that belongs to neither.
Citations open the original page, so you read the surrounding subsections and the source's own qualifications.
The library belongs to the people who build it. Membership is a monthly contribution that keeps it running — the hosting, the AI that reads and answers, and the work of curating what goes on the shelf.
Pick your sign-in below. No card details on this site — an invoice comes by email, and your account is switched on once it's settled. A contribution supports the library; it is not a tax-deductible charitable donation.

Choose the email and password you want to use. Nothing is charged here and no card details are collected on this site — we'll email you an invoice, and your account is switched on once it's settled. Your password is encrypted the moment you send it; nobody here can read it.
No. This is a research and reference tool over a fixed set of documents. It reports what those documents say and shows you the page. It does not apply law to your facts, tell you whether you have a claim or a defense, predict how a court would rule, or recommend a strategy or a filing. Using it creates no attorney-client relationship. When a question concerns your own matter, a deadline, or anything adversarial, the answer ends with a line recommending an attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.
Only from the documents in the library. Every statement carries a citation you can tap to open the original page, and when the library doesn't cover something it says so rather than filling the gap from general legal knowledge.
It names the jurisdiction of every source it quotes. If you ask about one state and the library only holds another's material, it says that before the substance and reports what it found as another jurisdiction's approach — not as the answer to your question. A rule from one state is not authority in another.
Yes, explicitly. Each citation is identified as what it is — enacted text, a decision and from which court, or commentary such as a treatise, practice guide, form book or article. A form book's summary and a statute's text never stand side by side as though they carried the same weight.
No. There is no citator behind this — no Shepard's, no KeyCite. It knows only what has been uploaded. It states each document's date where the document shows one and says plainly that it cannot verify whether a statute has since been amended or a case overruled. Check currency independently before relying on anything.
No, deliberately. It quotes the period exactly as printed with its citation, then says that the trigger date and any tolling or extension rules decide the actual date. It won't do the arithmetic even if you give it a start date, and it won't tell you whether a deadline has passed.
You see both, each with its own citation and each identified by what it is and where it's from. Circuit splits, competing treatises, and superseded versions sitting next to current ones are presented as the disagreements they are rather than merged into one rule.
Yes. PDFs are read page by page right in your browser, so even 2,000-page code volumes index in a couple of minutes — and every answer cites its exact page.
An admin. Members can submit anything they think belongs, but a submission sits in an approval queue and isn't searchable or citable — by anyone, including whoever uploaded it — until it's approved. Approved documents are then shared with every member, so everyone works from the same vetted collection. Curation is the whole value: a library full of one side's junk is worse than a small clean one. Nothing is public, and removing a document archives it so an admin can restore it.
