Researching a Legal Question

The Problem
Section titled “The Problem”Someone needs a well-sourced answer to a legal question — a client, a partner, a business unit, a citizen, or you yourself for an ongoing case. The answer must be accurate, based on current law, and backed by references you can verify and cite. Manual research through legislation databases and case law takes hours.
The Steps
Section titled “The Steps”- Open Chat and describe the legal question in natural language — specify the jurisdiction (Slovak, Czech, or EU) and the area of law
- Praktik searches current legislation and court decisions from official sources (updated daily from Slov-Lex, court databases, and EU legislation)
- Review the answer with inline references to specific legislative provisions and court decisions
- Click through any reference to verify it against the original source text
- Ask follow-up questions to explore edge cases, exceptions, related provisions, or counterarguments
- Save the conversation in a project folder and share it with colleagues if needed
The Outcome
Section titled “The Outcome”A thoroughly researched, source-verified answer — completed in minutes instead of hours. Every reference is clickable and traceable to the original official source.
How Different Roles Use This
Section titled “How Different Roles Use This”Law Firms: An associate researches a regulatory question assigned by a partner. The verified research becomes the foundation for a legal opinion. The conversation is shared via Projects & Teams for partner review before delivery.
Independent Lawyers: A client calls about a regulation you haven’t dealt with recently. You get a same-day answer based on current law — without worrying that legislation changed since you last looked at it.
In-House Counsel: The product team needs to know if a planned feature complies with GDPR and local data protection law. You deliver a clear regulatory assessment the same day with specific article references.
Public Sector: A citizen’s request requires a legal assessment. You research the applicable framework and build your administrative decision on verified, current legislation.
Judges: You need to understand the full legislative context around a provision at issue in a case. You get the current text, related provisions, and relevant court interpretations in one research session.
