Brazilian legal research

Legal research, linked to its source.

IAJUS brings together Brazilian case law, legislation and legal scholarship. Research with AI and follow links to official sources whenever available.

This page introduces the service in English. Legal documents, research interfaces and the pages linked below remain in Portuguese.

What IAJUS does

Legal sources in one research workflow

Find material by its meaning or wording, and explore it by area of law. IAJUS connects legal research to the AI assistant you use, or to its own web portal.

Case law

Search court decisions and qualified precedents. Follow the available source links to examine the original decision.

Legislation and scholarship

Consult Brazilian legislation and open-access legal scholarship alongside case law. Read the published coverage to understand the scope of each collection.

Search by meaning and text

Semantic, hybrid and keyword search offer different ways to find relevant material. The legal classification follows a structure aligned with the Brazilian National Council of Justice taxonomy.
