Descrybe

Descrybe is a legal research platform that leverages artificial intelligence to make U.S. case law more accessible, searchable, and understandable for a wide range of users, including legal professionals and law students. The platform provides free access to over 3.6 million federal and state judicial opinions and offers AI-generated summaries that are available in both English and Spanish. These summaries can be simplified to accommodate different literacy levels, aiming to reduce barriers to legal understanding. For users seeking more advanced research capabilities, Descrybe offers a subscription-based Legal Research Toolkit, which enhances the platform’s core functionality. The Toolkit includes Natural Language Search, allowing users to input questions or phrases in plain English without needing specialized legal terminology; Keyword and Concept Search, which enables more precise retrieval of cases based on specific legal terms or broader legal themes; Legal Issue Explorer, a feature that helps users identify and navigate key legal issues within a case or across multiple decisions; and Case Name Search, allowing direct lookup of judicial opinions by party names or case titles. Additionally, the Cytationator instantly checks every case cited in the briefs users write or review, flagging errors before they become problems. Descrybe is headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts, and was founded in 2023. The company is privately held and has a team of 2-10 employees. Descrybe's mission is to make legal research more accessible and affordable for everyone, regardless of the size of their organization or their budget. The platform is designed to be user-friendly and efficient, enabling users to find the law, work through tasks, and see the sources behind the answers. Descrybe offers plans starting at $25 per month, with a 50% discount on the first month and the option to cancel anytime. The platform is available at descrybe.com.
