50-state jurisdiction tuning — queries routed to federal and state sources based on your issues.

Generic legal AI hallucinates authority

Every generic legal AI tool shares the same failure mode: citations that sound authoritative but were never retrieved, misquoted, or fabricated from training memory. Lawyers can't act on plausible fiction.

Lexora — verbatim quote from retrieved opinion text

The agent may only cite what it actually retrieved in that session.

No hallucinations. No exceptions.

If authority wasn't found, Lexora says so — with the exact queries that returned nothing.

Every feature earns its place.

Product-first design. Every feature exists to make research auditable, not to impress with volume.

Live research trace

Watch every query, source selected or excluded, and gap documented in real time — the audit trail lawyers expect.

Quote grounding

Every holding includes a verbatim excerpt from retrieved text. No paraphrase-only citations that drift from the source.

Verification pass

A second pass checks each citation against your session corpus and flags anything it can't match — the anti-hallucination backstop.

Explicit negative space

Confirmed gaps are reported with search terms and result counts. You know what wasn't found, not just what was.

Session corpus boundary

Retrieved sources form a hard citation boundary. The synthesizer cannot reach beyond what was pulled in that session.

Inline citation confidence

High, medium, and low confidence badges sit on each citation in the report — not just a summary at the end — so you see trust level where you read.

50-state jurisdiction tuning

Parse identifies controlling jurisdictions and routes searches to the right federal and state APIs — tuned for high-demand states and expandable across all 50.

Word & PDF export

Download the finished memo with citations, quotes, and confidence tags intact — ready for your file, client update, or partner review.

Seven Steps.
One auditable run.

Not a single prompt. A structured loop that runs until issues are resolved or gaps are explicitly documented.

What others don't show you

Typical legal AI

  • Citations from model memory, unverifiable
  • No research trace or query log
  • Silent failures when authority isn't found
  • Confidence implied, never measured
  • Federal-only; state law bolted on later
  • Copy-paste from browser; no structured export
  • Black-box reasoning you can't audit
