The corpus

275,847 documents. Verified at the point of retrieval.

The Jurislexr corpus is grounded in Kenya Law — official, versioned, and checked at the moment of every query. If a case is not in the verified corpus, it does not appear. This is a structural commitment, not a UI rule.

What is in the corpus — and what is not.

Jurislexr is explicit about the corpus boundary because the boundary is the product. Every result you see is traceable to a document in the corpus. The model does not return citations outside the verified corpus. No supplementation with general web data.

Verification

Verification happens before the result reaches you.

Every query runs through a two-stage retrieval process. First, hybrid retrieval — BM25 keyword matching combined with dense vector embedding — maximises recall across the corpus. Then, post-retrieval citation existence check: every case reference is validated against the corpus index before it surfaces to you. If the case is not in the index, it does not appear — regardless of how plausible it looks.

Why we publish this.

Jurislexr publishes its corpus methodology because advocates making professional decisions deserve to know exactly what the tool is working from. The corpus version is displayed on every result page — date and document count. If the corpus has a gap, you should be able to see it. Confidence scores are shown, not hidden. Low-confidence results are flagged, not suppressed.

EAC roadmap

Kenya first. Built to hold depth across the region.

Jurislexr starts with Kenya because the legal data infrastructure here makes something genuinely new possible. Uganda and Tanzania follow — not as geographic expansion for its own sake, but because the platform is being built from the foundation up to hold that depth. Each new jurisdiction adds a verified corpus, a local advocate panel, and compliant data handling before it launches.
