Frequently asked questions

Caselaw is a UK law study platform with AI-generated case briefs, OSCOLA-formatted citations, week-by-week revision notes from Oxford and Cambridge, past papers with model answers, an AI tutor trained on UK exam technique, and spaced-repetition flashcards. It's built specifically for LLB, SQE, GDL, BPTC, BCL, MJur, and Oxford BA Jurisprudence students.

Every full judgment is sourced from The National Archives (caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk) under the Open Justice Licence v2.0. Briefs and analysis are AI-generated on top of that primary source.

Yes — the Free tier gives you 5 daily searches, 5 AI tutor messages a day, 2 AI briefs a month, one entire flashcard module (Contract Law), and read access to a curated set of landmark cases. No card required to sign up.

Every brief structurally extracts ratio decidendi, obiter dicta, material facts, and significance from the linked judgment. We've verified hundreds against textbook accounts. That said, AI outputs can hallucinate — every brief links back to the primary judgment, and we recommend you verify before relying on a brief in an essay or exam.

Briefs are study aids, not submissions. Use them to understand cases faster, then write your essays in your own words. We deliberately structure briefs to teach the analytical skills (IRAC, ratio extraction) that examiners reward — using them well makes your essays better, not worse.

Yes. We don't sell or share data. Your private notes, search history, and progress are yours. We never use your private notes to train AI. See /privacy for the full policy.

Pro (£7.99/mo, or £4.92/mo on annual) covers the full study platform — revision notes, AI briefs, AI tutor, flashcards, mock exams. Elite (£14.99/mo, or £9.92/mo on annual) adds every past paper across every module on top.

Yes. Go to Settings, then Plan Management — no phone calls, no retention process. You keep access until the end of your current billing period. Full details are in our refund and cancellation policy at /refund.

Pro at £7.99/month, or a one-off exam pass from £19, is already a fraction of Westlaw or LexisNexis individual pricing. We run launch discounts for specific universities — check /pricing for any active codes.

Yes — 7 days, no questions asked. Consumers also have a 14-day right to cancel a new subscription, with a full refund even if they have used it. Email [email protected].

Free gets 1 module (Contract Law). Pro and Elite include every core UK law module: Contract, Criminal, Tort, Public Law, Land Law, Equity & Trusts, Constitutional, Administrative, EU/Public International Law, Roman Law, Jurisprudence, Family, and Company Law — across LLB, SQE1, GDL, CILEX, and BPTC.

We have full week-by-week revision notes for Oxford BA Jurisprudence and Cambridge BA Law (Tripos), plus generic LLB, SQE1, GDL and BPTC syllabi. If a module you need isn't covered yet, email us — we prioritise based on student requests.

Westlaw and Lexis are research databases — you find cases, you read full judgments. Caselaw is a study platform — you get AI-extracted briefs, spaced-repetition flashcards, quizzes, past papers with model answers, an AI tutor, and revision notes structured around the syllabus. Use both: them for primary research, us for study and revision.

OSCOLA (Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities) is the citation format used in UK law schools and most UK legal scholarship. Every case in our library has an OSCOLA-formatted citation ready to paste into your essay. /tools/oscola has a standalone generator.

Yes. The platform is mobile-optimised, with a bottom navigation bar for one-thumb use, swipeable flashcards, and a print stylesheet for when you want hard-copy briefs. Adding to your home screen installs it like an app.

Many students subscribe for 2–3 months during revision and cancel. There's no lock-in or cancellation fee. You keep access until the end of your billing period.

We have practice papers written by Caselaw in the style of Oxford Mods and FHS, the Cambridge Tripos and UK LLB exams, plus SQE1, GDL and BPTC practice. They are not real university exam papers. Each comes with a model answer, citations and marking tips. The Oxford-style papers are free; the rest are a paid product or included on Elite.

From /settings you can export all your data as JSON (DSAR-compliant). Anki-format flashcard export is on our roadmap.

Every case page has a 'flag error' link. We review flagged items weekly and credit your account if you spot something material.

7 days, no questions asked, on any new monthly or annual subscription. Consumers also have a 14-day right to cancel a new subscription, with a full refund even if they have used it. For one-off purchases, see /refund. Email [email protected].
