Legal research and document organization for people navigating court on their own.
Every year, millions of people handle civil court matters — family cases, small claims, landlord-tenant disputes, employment claims — without a lawyer. The laws, court rules, and deadlines that govern their cases are public information. But that information is scattered across dozens of government websites, written in dense legal language, and difficult to connect to the documents piling up in their own case.
Factbound brings it together in one place.
With Factbound, you can:
Search official legal sources in plain English. Factbound's AI understands everyday questions — no legal jargon required — and searches statutes, regulations, court rules, and case law for your state. Every result includes a verified link to the official government source, so you can read the actual law and cite it with confidence.
Organize your own case documents. Upload your filings, notices, and correspondence to a private, encrypted workspace. Factbound's AI reads your documents, identifies key dates and details, and builds a searchable timeline of your case.
Understand court procedures in plain language. We surface self-help materials published by the courts themselves, with short AI-generated previews that are always attributed and linked to the original source.
AI you can check. Unlike a general chatbot, Factbound's AI doesn't answer from memory — it searches a curated library of official government sources and shows you where every piece of information came from. If you can't click through to the source, we don't show it.
