Manupatra is a well-known legal research database that offers access to diverse legal information, including judicial decisions, bare acts and statutes, notices, circulars, and expert legal commentary. It has Natural Language Processing-based search engines and Artificial Intelligence-driven research that makes it easier for the users to navigate through the vast amount of information. Manupatra offers a wide range of legal resources, covering both Indian and international law, and supports various research needs, from case law analysis to statutory research across multiple jurisdictions.

Please see the Manupatra Data Coverage for more information.

 Manupatra has introduced a new feature called AI Gists. This is a short summary of the judgment, usually in 7 to 8 lines, highlighting the main facts and conclusion. It provides a quick overview of the judgment, allowing the user to understand the essentials without getting into the detailed legal complexities. 

To know about the new features that are added, please see here.

Easily find judgments by using the citation. You can find judgments from multiple jurisdictions.
 

Legal Search allows you to search within specific fields or combinations of fields. You can use Appellant, Respondent (party name), Case number, Section of an Act, Judge, Coram and Subject.

Manu Search provides a simple search box experience, helping you find keywords, phrases, multiple phrases, and even those that appear near each other.

Once you find a relevant case, this feature helps you discover similar cases by mapping out how many times the subject case has been cited in subsequent judgments, along with the date of the most recent citation. It also provides direct links to the cases where the subject case has been referenced. However, it does not indicate whether the case is considered good law or bad law.

Case Map offers a visual representation of the top 20 cases related to a subject case (displayed in the central circle). These include cases cited by the subject case (referred to) and cases that have cited the subject case (mentioned in). This graphical view highlights the connections between cases, making it easier to identify other potentially relevant cases.

 

Legal Taxonomy organizes important judgments on a particular topic or law in a clear, structured way. It helps make legal research more efficient by sorting cases into categories, so users can easily find and focus on the specific areas of law they need. This system allows law students and researchers to quickly drill down into relevant information with more accuracy.

m-Para is a feature that allows users to view the key paragraphs of any judgment, see how many times these key paragraphs have been referenced in Supreme Court rulings, access details of the specific Supreme Court cases that cited these paragraphs, and understand how the Court has treated them.
