Questions lawyers ask
How is Preceda different from traditional legal databases?
Preceda uses semantic search, which understands the meaning behind your query rather than just matching keywords. This means you can search using natural language descriptions and find relevant cases even when they use different terminology.
Can I search in French?
Absolutely! Preceda fully supports bilingual search in both English and French, making it ideal for Quebec's bijural legal system.
Are the AI-generated summaries reliable?
The summaries are meant to help you triage cases quickly, not to replace reading the decision. They're AI-generated and can miss nuance, so always verify a summary against the full judgement before citing or relying on it.
Is my search history private?
Yes. We take privacy seriously. Your search queries and results are private to your account and are not shared with third parties.
