# AI tools for legal research

These tools search legislation, case law and other legal sources and answer legal questions with citations. Which Finnish and EU sources each one covers differs widely, so check the coverage table on each profile before you rely on it for Finnish work.

Ranked by Finnish legal sources, then Security and data handling, then Estimated price, within each type of tool. [How we rank](https://legalaiverdict.com/methodology/#how-do-we-rank-tools)

We rank only by criteria assessed for every tool on the list, and only tools of the same type against each other. No placement can be bought.

## What counts as a legal research tool here?

A tool is in this category when its vendor documents that it searches legal sources or answers legal questions. That includes general AI assistants, legal AI platforms, legal research services and connectors that bring legal sources into an assistant. They work very differently: an assistant answers from its model and from the web unless a source is connected, while a research service answers from its publisher’s own database.

## How are these tools ranked?

Within each type of tool, by Finnish legal sources first, then data handling, then estimated price, cheapest first: the criteria assessed for every tool on the list. Finnish sources come first because they matter most for research on Finnish law, and most of that score rests on whether statutes, case law and preparatory works are linked to each other. EU legal sources are not part of the ranking yet, because we could not check them for every tool listed; each profile shows its EU coverage facts and score.
