Structured Legal Authority

American case law —
structured, sourced, and verifiable.

Federal courts 1951 to present. Every holding typed, speaker-attributed, jurisdiction-mapped, and source-traced to the paragraph. Built for AI systems that need to reason about legal authority — not retrieve legal documents.

The documents exist. The structured authority layer does not. That is what we built.

Why RAG isn't enough.

Retrieval-augmented generation returns documents. It doesn't tell you if a holding still applies, whether the jurisdiction agrees, whether what was cited as precedent was dicta, or whether the law moved since the model was trained. Legal authority is not a document. It is an assertion, made by a specific court, in a specific jurisdiction, at a specific time, with a specific precedential weight.

KeyCite and Shepard's are the best tools available today. They were built for human lawyers reading PDFs, not for AI systems that need structured, assertion-level data at query time. We built what comes next.

Chevron deference requires courts to defer to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes. See Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, 467 U.S. 837 (1984).

A legal AI product asked whether Chevron deference still applies. Below is what a live query against the federal case law graph returns — assertion type, treatment history, affected holdings, and jurisdictional scope.

Legal Query
Is Chevron deference still good law?
Reason
Chevron deference Qualified immunity Cell phone search
No. Chevron deference was overruled by Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (2024). Courts must now exercise independent judgment on statutory meaning.
Chain of Proof
1
Rule Identification
Overruled
Chevron U.S.A. v. NRDC, 467 U.S. 837 (1984) established a two-step deference framework for agency interpretation of ambiguous statutes.

2
Doctrinal Rupture
HoldingBinding
Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, 603 U.S. 369 (2024) overruled Chevron. Courts must exercise independent judgment in determining statutory meaning. This is a holding, not dicta.

Who is this for?
Building legal AI
Your AI should never cite a case it can't stand behind.
Structured assertion records via API. Every holding filtered by jurisdiction, confidence-scored, and traced to the paragraph it came from. Built for the systems that generate legal text, so you can verify it before your users rely on it.
See AI vendor use cases
Running a legal team
When the judge asks where that came from, you have an answer.
When a federal judge asks where that citation came from, your answer is either verified or it isn't. Omniarch gives your team a documentation trail for every legal assertion your AI produces: specific court, specific paragraph, specific date.
See law firm use cases
What extraction gives you that generation cannot.
Deterministic
Same query. Same structured result. Every time. No temperature, no variation, no drift.
Inspectable
Every assertion exposes its source, reasoning chain, and jurisdiction. Nothing is averaged away.
Provenanced
Every triple traced to a named court, docket number, date, and paragraph. Nothing synthetic.
Debuggable
When a result is wrong, trace exactly where and why. LLMs cannot explain their own errors.
Explainable
Show why a proposition holds: which court decided it, which precedent chain supports it, how it's been treated since.
Three properties of the graph

The distinctions that matter most are the hardest to make.

Speaker Attribution

Dissent vs. holding. The distinction most AI systems cannot make.

Every AI system that retrieves legal text can retrieve a dissent. Most cannot tell you it's a dissent. Omniarch tags every assertion with its speaker: majority, concurrence, or dissent. Citing a dissent as precedent is not a subtle error. It is the kind that surfaces in front of a judge.

Legal Typology

Every assertion typed as a duty, a right, a privilege, or a liability.

An obligation imposed on a party is not the same as a right granted to one. Omniarch applies Hohfeld's legal typology to every extracted assertion. The type of legal relationship determines what the AI can safely conclude from it.

Temporal Precision

Three separate clocks. When decided. When effective. When applicable.

When a case was decided. When the statute it interprets took effect. When the rule it establishes applies. These three timestamps are often different. Systems that track only one draw incorrect temporal conclusions. Omniarch tracks all three.

Coverage.
