Codex — Legal Research & Case Law Platform
A Legal Research Monograph

The case law library,
reconsidered for the modern bar.

Codex is a research and case law platform built for attorneys who treat precedent as a discipline. Every opinion indexed, every citation traced, every brief grounded in the record.

Research Instruments

Tools for the considered practitioner.

Citation Tracing

Every authority, followed to its root.

Map the full genealogy of a citation — which cases adopted it, which distinguished it, which overruled it. The treatment history is rendered as a readable lineage, not a list of links.

Natural Language Search

Ask in plain English, receive in precedent.

Query the corpus in the language of your brief. Codex returns the controlling opinions, ranked by jurisdictional weight and recency, with the relevant passages already extracted.

Brief Verification

Confirm every quotation against the source.

Paste a brief and Codex audits each citation for accuracy, pin-cite precision, and subsequent treatment. Flagged authorities are returned with the correcting language and a revised pin cite.

Statutory Cross-Reference

Statutes and the cases that shape them.

Every statute is paired with the interpretive opinions that define it. Move between code and case in a single reading, with annotations noting amendments and judicial gloss.

Court-Aware Filtering

Limit to the jurisdiction that binds.

Restrict results to the court, circuit, or state whose authority governs your matter. Mandatory and persuasive authority are labeled distinctly, so the hierarchy of precedent is never in question.

Research Folders

A dossier for every matter.

Organize opinions, statutes, and notes into matter-specific folders that persist across sessions. Share with co-counsel, export to brief format, and maintain a defensible research trail.

The Method

How Codex reads the law.

Ingestion
Every opinion is acquired from the court of record, parsed into structured fields — parties, holdings, dicta, footnotes — and indexed against the full citation graph. No third-party summaries; the source text is the record.
Annotation
Citations within each opinion are extracted, resolved to their target cases, and classified by treatment type: followed, distinguished, overruled, abrogated. The result is a living citation network, updated as new opinions issue.
Retrieval
A query is parsed for legal concepts, not keywords. Codex returns opinions ranked by doctrinal relevance, jurisdictional authority, and temporal currency — with the passages that answer the question already surfaced.
Verification
Before a citation leaves your brief, Codex confirms the case remains good law, the pin cite matches the page, and the proposition is fairly supported. Every assertion is checked against the current state of the record.
The Corpus

A complete record of American jurisprudence.

Federal and state opinions from 1960 to the present session, with daily ingestion of new decisions as they are released by the courts.

A Brief Workflow

From question to brief, in three readings.

i.

Pose the question

Enter the issue in the language of your matter. Codex interprets the legal concepts and identifies the controlling jurisdiction without requiring boolean operators or field codes.

ii.

Read the results

Opinions are returned with the answering passages already extracted, treatment history noted, and authority hierarchy labeled. Read the holding first, then the full opinion if the matter demands it.

iii.

Cite with confidence

Export to your brief with verified pin cites and current treatment. Every citation is confirmed against the live record before it leaves the platform, so what you file is what the court will find.

From the Bar

What practitioners say.

"Codex replaced three subscriptions and a paralegal's worth of Shepardizing. The citation tracing alone has changed how I draft appellate briefs — I can see the lineage of an argument in a single reading."

Margaret Holloway
Partner, Holloway & Reese — Appellate Practice

"I have practiced for twenty-two years. This is the first research tool that respects the way a lawyer actually thinks. It reads like a treatise, not a database, and the results are the results I would have found myself — only faster."

David Tanaka
Of Counsel, Whitfield Litigation Group

"The brief verification caught a miscitation the morning of filing. That alone justified the subscription. But the daily comfort of knowing every authority is still good law — that is what keeps me here."

Eleanor Voss
Solo Practitioner — Family & Estate Law

"We onboarded forty associates in a week. The learning curve is negligible because the interface speaks the language of the practice. Our research hours are down, and our brief quality is measurably up."
