What Barrister AI does

Answers legal research questions with citations to the paragraph of the judgment or provision relied on.
Publishes a page for each judgment in its database, with an AI-generated headnote and the authorities the judgment cites. See judgment summaries.
Shows the later cases citing each decision, with a fuller view of later judicial consideration on paid plans. See the case citator.
Drafts legal memos and helps prepare briefs.

Junior, the desktop app

Junior is Barrister AI’s desktop app for Mac and Windows. It puts the same Australian legal research as the website in a small window you can call up from anywhere with a keyboard shortcut. You can ask a question and get a cited answer in about a minute, or order a full written memo. You can also highlight a passage in another app, or use the Junior buttons inside Microsoft Word, to ask about it or check that its citations are real.

Your briefs and matter documents stay on your own computer. Junior reads them there, sends only what it needs to answer, and does not keep your questions or answers on Barrister AI’s servers or anywhere else.

How the content is made

Case and legislation summaries are generated by AI from the judgments and legislation themselves, and are not individually reviewed by a person. The editorial policy explains the difference and how to report an error.

Not to be confused with

Barrister AI is not connected with CourtAid.
