Sources & citations
CourtAid is built on real law with real citations. Every answer and summary links back to the original published source, so you can verify any finding.
Clicking sources in Chat
In Chat mode, responses include a Documents referenced section listing the cases and legislation used.
Click any citation — e.g. Robin Raju & Associates Pty Ltd v Kaplan Investments Pty Ltd [2021] NSWCATCD 90 — to open that document. From there you can read the full text, view the summary, or start Chat PDF.

Citation Map
In chat responses, click Map to open an interactive citation map showing how the top results cite each other. This helps you find related authorities and understand precedent relationships quickly.
You can also open the map from Search → Map view or via Cites / Cited by tags on search results. See Citation map & precedent relationships for a full guide.
Why citations matter
CourtAid is designed for legal professionals who need to rely on their research. Every feature — chat, search, summaries, and projects — maintains a link to the underlying source document so you can:
Verify AI-generated content against primary sources
Build a defensible research trail
Cite authorities accurately in your work
CourtAid provides research assistance, not legal advice. See Research assistance, not legal advice and always verify important findings against the original source.
