Built for Philippine practice

Your organization gets its own address, its own vocabulary, and only the tools that genuinely apply to Philippine practice — cases, documents, AI consultation and citation checking, all tailored to Philippine law.

Frequently asked questions

Short, direct answers about ilovelawyer Philippines: cited Philippine jurisprudence, the statutory code library, and how citations are checked.

Is there AI legal research software built for Philippine lawyers?

Yes. ilovelawyer Philippines answers legal questions with cited Philippine jurisprudence and includes a Philippine statutory code library, so research stays grounded in Philippine sources.

It also tracks case deadlines and calendars, and every quoted authority is checked against a real source document.

What is ilovelawyer?

ilovelawyer (also written “I Love Lawyer”) is an AI legal intelligence platform for lawyers, developed by Forhu AI. It combines case management, an AI assistant that answers with cited case law, a research library and a configurable Legal Terminal in one workspace.

It is available as separate jurisdiction-specific sites for the Philippines and the United Kingdom.

Is ilovelawyer a law firm, and does it give legal advice?

No. ilovelawyer is a software application used by legal professionals — it is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or legal services to the public.

Its output is a research and drafting aid and should be reviewed by a qualified lawyer before it is relied on.

Can AI legal research be trusted? How does ilovelawyer prevent made-up citations?

ilovelawyer checks every authority the assistant quotes against a real source document before showing it, which reduces hallucinated citations.

Related case law is listed alongside each answer with its title, citation, source link and excerpt, marked as vetted or unvetted. A contradiction scan also flags inconsistencies across a case's documents and testimony.

Can I upload my own case documents and ask questions about them?

Yes. Attach a document to a consultation and the ilovelawyer assistant searches inside it, and documents added to a case become Sources the case's chat and Studio can draw on.

Case files, transcription and deadline tracking are managed per case in the same workspace.

What is the ilovelawyer Legal Terminal?

The Legal Terminal is a configurable litigation cockpit where you arrange up to nineteen panes of case intelligence, save the layout and reload it on any machine.

Panes include Red Team (the argument the opposing side will likely make), Case Reconstruction (client, court and opposing narratives of the same case), Decisions (the conclusions the AI reached, the rule applied and the evidence for and against), Visual Strategy Map, Mind Map and Timeline.

What can the ilovelawyer Case Workspace generate?

The Case Workspace combines Sources, Chat and Studio in one view, and Studio generates a Mind Map, Timeline, Data Table, Audio Overview and a downloadable Word or PDF Case Brief.

Each artifact is built on demand from that case's own chat and documents.

Can a whole law firm or team use ilovelawyer?

Yes. ilovelawyer offers multi-user firm accounts on Solo, Professional and Enterprise plans, with role-based invites for Owners, Admins and Members.

Which countries and jurisdictions does ilovelawyer cover?

ilovelawyer currently serves the Philippines and the United Kingdom, as separate jurisdiction-specific sites: ph.ilovelawyer.com and uk.ilovelawyer.com.

The UK site covers England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Can ilovelawyer find contradictions in my case documents?

Yes. ilovelawyer's contradiction scan flags inconsistencies across a case's documents and testimony.

Can ilovelawyer generate a case brief?

Yes. The ilovelawyer Case Workspace can generate a downloadable Word or PDF Case Brief from the case's current snapshot.

Does ilovelawyer include transcription and a case calendar?

Yes. ilovelawyer includes document management, transcription, and deadline and calendar tracking tied to each case.

Is ilovelawyer the same as “I Love Lawyers” merchandise or a lawyer community?

No. ilovelawyer is legal software for case management, cited AI research and litigation analysis — it is not an apparel brand, social account or networking group.
