Legal Research

Search case law, statutes and guidance across 19 jurisdictions plus German tax law.

Two ways to research

Wysor gives you access to public case law, legislation and official guidance. You can use it in two ways:

  • The Legal Research page: you search yourself, filter, and see every hit. Best when you want to browse and judge the results yourself.
  • In the chat: the agent searches for you, reads the relevant decisions and writes an answer with citations. Turn on the Databank in the chat.

Step by step

1. Pick your jurisdictions

Open Legal Research and choose one or more jurisdictions from the chips above the search field. Your choice is remembered for next time. Available: Germany, German tax law (Steuerrecht), Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the EU, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Malta, the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States.

2. Search

Type a few legal terms the way they appear in decisions, in the language of the jurisdiction: "Kündigung Arbeitszeitbetrug" works better than a full English sentence for German law. Not sure where to start? Click Start with a sample, or Show guided tour for a quick walkthrough.

3. Narrow it down with Advanced filters

  • Type: Case Law, Legislation, or Opinions & Guidance
  • From / To: a date range
  • Court level: for example federal or state courts, or a country's highest courts
  • Region / State: for example a German federal state or a US state
  • Number of results: how many hits to load

4. Read the results

Each result shows the court, date, file number and, where available, the ECLI. Badges help you judge a decision quickly:

  • Good law or Affirmed: no indication of an overruling was found in the connected databases. This is a hint, not a guarantee.
  • Overturned, Overturned on appeal or Potentially overruled: check before you rely on it
  • cited / citing: how often the decision is cited, and by how many others

Open a result to read the full text, search inside it, see the citing cases, jump to the original source, and, for German case law, open the citation graph to see how decisions build on each other.

5. Analyze with AI

Click Analyze with AI on a result, or Ask AI at the top to discuss the whole search. A chat card opens right on the page with quick actions: Summarize, Key findings, Limitations and Explain simply, or ask your own question about the document. For a full answer that pulls in several sources, your own documents and a draft, open the regular chat instead.

In the chat: the agent sets the filters itself

Ask in plain language, for example: "Federal Labour Court rulings since 2020 on dismissal for time fraud." The agent turns this into a search with the right filters (jurisdiction, date range, court level, region), opens the relevant decisions, and checks citations and overruling indications against the connected databases. The answer comes with its sources.

Tip: name the court, the period and the key terms. The more precise the question, the better the hits. See Get better answers from AI.

Please note: the databases contain a selection of published decisions. They are not guaranteed to be complete or up to date. Check every citation before you use it. Wysor does not provide legal advice.
