Frequently asked questions
What makes GridlyPaper different from Westlaw or Lexis?
GridlyPaper uses AI to understand plain-English questions across 5 practice areas. You don't need Boolean operators. Every search returns three perspectives — cases, academic articles, and federal legislation — giving you a complete picture that traditional databases don't provide.
How does citation validation work?
Every case links directly to its GridlyPaper source. No source = not shown. We check against 179 curated landmark precedents across all 5 practice areas to flag binding, persuasive, or bad law. Known overruled cases are automatically flagged.
What jurisdictions are covered?
All U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals (1st-11th, DC, Federal), Supreme Court precedent, district courts, state supreme courts, and administrative agencies. Coverage adapts to your selected practice area — immigration includes BIA and AG decisions; employment includes EEOC and NLRB.
Is my client data secure?
Yes. GridlyPaper does not store client names, case numbers, or sensitive details. Your research queries are processed securely and we never share data with third parties. Read our Privacy Policy for full details.
Can I export research memos?
Absolutely. Generated memos can be downloaded as .txt files or copied to clipboard. They're formatted with Issue, Brief Answer, Facts, Analysis, and Conclusion sections — ready to paste into Word or your document system.
