How It Works

A detailed guide to what every tool in Lawyer Services does and how to use it.

1/22

Research

Ask any legal question in plain language and Lawyer Services first finds the relevant Court of Cassation and Council of State decisions, then generates a short, source-backed answer. Unlike a plain search engine, it gives you a direct answer instead of a list of links; unlike a plain chatbot, it grounds every claim in an actual court decision.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Research from the left sidebar.
  2. 2Type your question in the search box (e.g. "how much notice is required to terminate a lease").
  3. 3The system first retrieves relevant decisions (seconds), then generates an answer based on them (this can take anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes depending on hardware).
  4. 4Check the "Sources" section under the answer to see which decisions it's based on; click a card to read the full text.
  5. 5Ask a follow-up in the same chat (e.g. "what happens if that notice period isn't met") — the system remembers the previous exchange and answers with that context in mind.
  6. 6Use the history panel to revisit past research sessions, click "+ New research" to start fresh, or "Clear" to delete your entire history.
💡

Tip: The more specific your question (parties, dates, the exact issue), the more precisely matched the retrieved decisions will be.

Deep Research

Turn a complex, multi-faceted legal question into a research job that runs in the background. The system splits your query into sub-topics, searches across 700K+ records separately for each one, and builds a cited, section-by-section report — completing while you get on with other things.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Deep Research from the left sidebar.
  2. 2Type the topic you want researched and pick Normal or Focused mode (Focused runs more sections and a deeper search, and takes a bit longer).
  3. 3Click "Start Research"; the job is queued in the background immediately, you can navigate away.
  4. 4The page automatically polls for status every few seconds; each section appears in the results list as it finishes.
  5. 5Click a section's title to expand it; read its content and the sources it's grounded in.
💡

Tip: Sections appear one at a time as they finish — you can start reading the ones that are ready before the whole report completes.

Case Law

Search Court of Cassation and Council of State decisions directly, without waiting for an AI-generated answer. The same powerful search engine runs here as a plain source list — ideal when you want to scan quickly and form your own judgment.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Case Law from the left sidebar.
  2. 2Type your query in the search box (matches are based on meaning, not keywords — e.g. "termination of contract upon partial performance").
  3. 3Results are listed with the court, case/decision number, and a short excerpt; click a card to read the full text.
  4. 4If nothing relevant comes up, try rephrasing your query more broadly or with different words.
💡

Tip: This tool doesn't generate an AI answer, it only returns a source list — use Research if you want an AI-interpreted answer alongside the sources.

Open Tool

4/22

Legislation

Search laws, regulations, and other legislative texts with the same semantic search engine. Find the relevant provision among current legislation records in seconds.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Legislation from the left sidebar.
  2. 2Type the topic you're looking for (e.g. "termination of employment contract for just cause").
  3. 3Pick the relevant legislative text from the results and read its full content.
💡

Tip: Uses the same search engine as Case Law — use both pages together to check a topic from both the legislation and case-law angle.

Create Petition

This tool takes the facts you provide, finds the relevant case law, and drafts a complete petition around it — parties, facts, a legal-basis section, and a conclusion/request section.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Create Petition from the left sidebar.
  2. 2Enter the subject of the petition in "Request Type" (e.g. "Rent price determination").
  3. 3Enter the plaintiff's and defendant's full name and address (address is optional).
  4. 4In "Additional Info / Details", describe the facts in your own words, as specifically as you can.
  5. 5Click "Generate Petition". The system finds relevant decisions and writes the "Legal Basis" section grounded in them — this generation step can take a few minutes.
  6. 6Read the generated petition; type an instruction in the box below it (e.g. "make the facts section more formal") to have the Petition Assistant revise it.
  7. 7Once you're happy with it, download it as Word, PDF, or UDF - UYAP's own document format, ready to file directly.
  8. 8Come back to this petition later from My Documents and click "Edit" to reopen the original form pre-filled, update it, and generate a new version.
💡

Tip: The Legal Basis section only cites decisions it actually found — if nothing relevant turns up, it says so plainly rather than inventing a reference.

Create Contract

Draft a standard contract in minutes from ready-made templates. This tool doesn't use AI generation — the details you enter are placed directly into the chosen template, so the result is ready instantly.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Create Contract from the left sidebar.
  2. 2Pick a template from the cards at the top: Rental Agreement, NDA, Employment Contract, or Service Contract.
  3. 3Fill in the template-specific fields — for a rental agreement, for example: landlord, tenant, property address, monthly rent, start date, and term.
  4. 4Click "Generate Contract"; the contract text is produced instantly (no wait).
  5. 5Download it as Word, PDF, or UYAP's own UDF format to save it; you can also copy the text and make further edits in your own document editor if needed.
💡

Tip: Leaving an optional field (like term or price) blank will show as "-" in the contract — it's best to fill it in.

Open Tool

7/22

Contract Analysis

Upload a contract you already have (one you drafted, or one sent by the other party) and the system splits it into clauses and scores each one for risk. This is designed to catch risky clauses (e.g. a one-sided termination right, an unclear penalty clause) you might otherwise miss before signing.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Contract Analysis from the left sidebar.
  2. 2Choose the PDF of the contract you want analyzed (max 10MB; only text-based PDFs are supported — scanned image PDFs may not have readable text).
  3. 3Click "Analyze". The system first extracts the text from the PDF, then splits it into clauses based on headers like "MADDE 1", "MADDE 2" (Turkish for "Article 1", "Article 2").
  4. 4Each clause card shows a risk score from 1 (low) to 5 (high), a short explanation, and a legal reference if one applies (analysis can take a few minutes).
  5. 5Prioritize the highest-scored clauses — these are the points worth negotiating or having a lawyer review.
💡

Tip: Uploading a contract with clearly numbered clauses ("MADDE 1", "MADDE 2", ...) gives far more accurate splitting; unnumbered, free-form text may be treated as a single clause.

Open Tool

8/22

Contract Comparison

Upload two contracts side by side (for example, a new offer from the other party against your own draft); the system matches their clauses, highlights where they differ, shows which party comes out ahead on each point, and flags clauses present in one but missing from the other.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Contract Comparison from the left sidebar.
  2. 2Upload the PDFs of the two contracts you want compared (A and B).
  3. 3Click "Compare"; the system splits both contracts into clauses and runs a cross-document evaluation (this can take a few minutes).
  4. 4Review the clause-by-clause differences, which side each one favors, and the clauses missing from each contract.
  5. 5Check the overall assessment section for a quick summary of which contract works better for you.
💡

Tip: For the best results, compare contracts covering the same subject (e.g. two different lease offers) — comparing two entirely different contract types may not produce a meaningful match.

Petition Strength Analysis

Objectively measure the legal strength of a petition you've written (or generated in Lawyer Services) before filing it. The system scores it against 5 fixed, concrete criteria, giving you a consistent way to compare different petitions.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Petition Strength Analysis from the left sidebar.
  2. 2Choose the PDF of the petition you want evaluated (max 10MB).
  3. 3Click "Analyze" (this can take a few minutes).
  4. 4The system scores the petition from 1-5 across 5 criteria: Legal Basis (is there a law/precedent citation), Factual Clarity (are the facts clearly stated), Clarity of Request (is the conclusion/demand clear), Consistency (do the facts and claims avoid contradicting each other), and Procedural Completeness (are elements like party info and dates present).
  5. 5Read the short justification under each criterion; the overall score is the average of all 5.
  6. 6Check "Argument Gaps" to see the missing or weak points in your petition.
  7. 7Check "Possible Counter-Arguments" to see objections the other side might raise, so you can prepare for them before filing.
💡

Tip: If a criterion scores low, revise the petition with the Petition Assistant in the Create Petition tool and re-upload it to compare how the score changes.

Verdict Simulation

Enter the case type, court type, charge (if any), facts, and both sides' arguments; the system examines real Court of Cassation/Council of State decisions and legislation separately to produce a 1-5 strength score, strong/weak points, and a realistic likely outcome. This is not a definitive verdict - it's a comparative legal analysis of the information given.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Verdict Simulation from the left sidebar.
  2. 2Enter the case type (e.g. "Rent price determination"), court type, and the charge if applicable.
  3. 3Write the facts, the plaintiff's/prosecution's arguments, and the defendant's defense in their own boxes, in your own words.
  4. 4Click "Analyze"; the system finds real relevant decisions and legislation and evaluates both arguments against them (this can take a few minutes).
  5. 5Review the likely outcome, the strength scores, the strong/weak points, and the prediction's confidence level.
  6. 6Check the source list below to see which real decisions/legislation the analysis is grounded in.
💡

Tip: This tool isn't a "verdict prediction" - it shows how strong the given arguments look against the precedent found; the final judgment always belongs to a legal professional.

Open Tool

11/22

Case Outcome Statistics

Describe the subject of your case; the system finds the real Court of Cassation/Council of State decisions most semantically similar to your query and shows the accept/reject/partial/reversed/affirmed distribution among them as a percentage. This is not definitive statistics about "all cases of this type" - it's an honestly framed approximate value among the decisions most similar to your query.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Case Outcome Statistics from the left sidebar.
  2. 2Write the subject of your case in your own words (e.g. "rent price determination case").
  3. 3Click "Show Statistics"; the system finds the most similar real decisions and calculates the outcome distribution among them.
  4. 4Review the accepted, rejected, partially accepted, reversed, and affirmed rates in the colored bars.
  5. 5Read each real decision the distribution is based on individually from the source list below.
💡

Tip: Phrasing your query with different words can find different decisions and give a different distribution - this tool isn't definitive statistics, it's an approximate value based on the most similar decisions found.

Case/Hearing Tracker

Track your case files, next hearing dates, and notification response deadlines in one place. This tool has no official integration with UYAP/UETS - the information you enter is entirely under your own control and is never automatically synced with any official system.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Case/Hearing Tracker from the left sidebar.
  2. 2Click "Add New Case"; enter the court, case number, opposing party, and next hearing date.
  3. 3If you received a notification, enter the notification date and the response window (in days) - the deadline is calculated automatically.
  4. 4Upcoming (within 7 days) or overdue dates show as a color-coded warning on the card.
  5. 5Update the case details anytime with "Edit" or remove it with "Delete".
💡

Tip: This isn't an official UYAP/UETS sync - it's only as current as what you enter, so remember to update the case whenever you get a new hearing date or notification.

Court Fee / Expense Calculator

Enter the case type, the amount in dispute, and the number of parties to see an itemized estimate of the filing fee, judgment fee, minimum attorney fee, and (where required) mediation cost. This is not an AI guess - every line traces back to a figure read from the official tariff tables.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Calculation Tools > Court Fee / Expense from the sidebar.
  2. 2Select the case type (e.g. "Rent price determination").
  3. 3If the case type requires it, enter the amount in dispute, the number of parties, and (if mediation is mandatory) the estimated hours.
  4. 4Click "Calculate"; the filing fee, judgment fee, minimum attorney fee, and other items are listed separately.
  5. 5Check the "Verified"/"Unverified" badge next to each item - confirm any unverified figure against the current tariff before treating it as final.
💡

Tip: Tariffs are updated annually, so the calculation uses the figures in effect as of the calculation date - a retroactive calculation may differ from that period's actual tariff.

Open Tool

14/22

Debt Enforcement Calculator

Enter the principal amount, the enforcement start date, and the enforcement type to calculate an estimated total claim made up of accrued interest and the enforcement attorney fee. A deterministic engine - the only figures involved are a day-count interest calculation and an attorney fee read from the tariff table, nothing is guessed.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Calculation Tools > Debt Enforcement Calculator from the sidebar.
  2. 2Enter the enforcement type (general seizure, eviction, etc.), the principal, and the enforcement start date.
  3. 3Leave the calculation date blank to use today's date.
  4. 4Click "Calculate"; the interest amount, enforcement attorney fee, and total claim are shown separately.
  5. 5Check the "Unresolved Items" section - figures that couldn't be confirmed by research (like the collection fee rate) are stated explicitly there, never silently zeroed out.
💡

Tip: Interest is calculated over the number of days between the enforcement start date and the calculation date - enter a future calculation date to see what the claim will be worth on that date.

Open Tool

15/22

Sentence Execution Calculator

Enter the offense category, the stage of the proceedings, the sentence length, and the conviction date to get an estimated conditional release and supervised-release start date. The rules are draft data collected via web research and do NOT model recidivism, cumulative sentencing, or amnesty - this is not a guaranteed date.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Calculation Tools > Sentence Execution Calculator from the sidebar.
  2. 2Select the offense category and the current stage of the proceedings.
  3. 3If the ruling is final, enter the exact sentence length; if not, enter the likely minimum/maximum range.
  4. 4Enter the conviction date (and the execution start date, if different) and confirm you've read the warning.
  5. 5Click "Calculate"; the estimated conditional-release date, supervised-release start, and any informational notes are shown.
💡

Tip: This tool produces an estimate on a matter that directly affects a real person's liberty - always confirm the result against current law and a criminal-execution-law specialist, never rely on it alone.

Open Tool

16/22

Statute of Limitations Calculator

Enter the case/claim type and the start date to calculate when the statute of limitations or a preclusive period expires. Some case types (e.g. tort damages) run two periods at once - a short one from the date of discovery and a long one from the date of the event - the tool computes both and clearly shows which one expires first.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Calculation Tools > Statute of Limitations Calculator from the sidebar.
  2. 2Enter the case/claim type and the start date.
  3. 3If the case type requires it (e.g. tort claims), also enter a second date - the date of discovery.
  4. 4Click "Calculate"; the applicable period(s) are shown, with the earliest-expiring "binding date" highlighted.
  5. 5On the Pro plan, attach the calculation to a case file so the approaching deadline is automatically included in Case Tracker's email and notification reminders.
💡

Tip: Period data is draft data collected via research - confirm any period marked "Unverified" against current law/case law before treating it as a final deadline.

Open Tool

17/22

Severance / Notice Pay Calculator

Enter the start/end date of employment, gross salary, and the reason for termination to calculate severance and notice pay separately. The tool explicitly determines entitlement based on the reason for termination - e.g. an employee's own unjustified resignation correctly yields zero for both, with the reason stated, never a silently computed number.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Calculation Tools > Severance / Notice Pay Calculator from the sidebar.
  2. 2Enter the start and end dates of employment, the gross salary, and the reason for termination.
  3. 3If applicable, enter transport allowance, meal allowance, and other regular benefits separately - these bring the calculation closer to the real total compensation.
  4. 4Click "Calculate"; severance and notice pay appear in separate cards, each showing whether it's owed and why.
  5. 5Confirm figures marked "Unverified" (such as the severance pay ceiling) against the current official announcement before relying on them.
💡

Tip: Leaving the additional-benefit fields blank calculates on gross salary alone - for the most accurate result, enter every benefit provided on a regular basis.

Open Tool

18/22

Saved Decisions

Star decisions you find in Case Law to save them, add personal notes, and optionally attach them to a case file. Keep your precedents inside the tool you're already working in, instead of a separate paper file or spreadsheet.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Case Law from the sidebar and run a search.
  2. 2Click the star icon next to the result you want to save - the card is marked with a filled star.
  3. 3Open Saved Decisions from the sidebar to see every decision you've saved in one list.
  4. 4Click "AI Summary" on any card to read a short summary of the decision without opening the full text.
  5. 5Type your personal assessment in the note box under any decision - it saves automatically when you click away.
  6. 6Optionally attach a decision to a case file; filter the list by case to see only decisions relevant to that file.
💡

Tip: Decisions attached to a case file also appear automatically in that case's detail page, under "Saved Decisions Linked to This Case."

Reports

An automatically generated bulletin summarizing, in plain language, new Court of Cassation/Council of State decisions and legislation changes - Court of Cassation/Council of State are weekly, while legislation changes also get a separate update every day right after that morning's Official Gazette publication. Stay current without missing a beat.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Reports from the left sidebar.
  2. 2The newest bulletin is listed at the top; click a bulletin row to expand it. Check its "Weekly" or "Daily · Official Gazette" tag to see which kind it is.
  3. 3Read the short AI-generated summaries under each source section (Court of Cassation, Council of State, Legislation).
  4. 4Click the source card under a summary to reach the full text of the decision or legislative text it's based on.
💡

Tip: A bulletin is based only on documents actually added in that period — if nothing new was added, no bulletin is generated for it.

Legal Blog

Articles on current legal topics (lease compensation, termination of employment contracts, division of property in divorce, and more) backed by real case law and legislation references. A good starting point when you want a general understanding of a topic before turning to the tools.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Blog from the top navigation or the homepage.
  2. 2Pick an article that interests you from the list and read it; articles are paginated.
  3. 3If you want to dig deeper into a topic mentioned in an article, switch to Research or Case Law.
💡

Tip: Articles are for general information — for an actual case, always review your own specifics with the relevant tools (Research, Petition Strength Analysis, etc.).

My Documents

A single archive of every petition and contract you've generated in Lawyer Services. Nothing gets lost — come back anytime to view, edit, or re-download any of them.

How to use it

  1. 1Open My Documents from the left sidebar.
  2. 2See every petition and contract you've generated so far, listed with its type and creation date.
  3. 3Click "View" to expand and read the full text in place; click "Hide" to collapse it again.
  4. 4For petitions, click "Edit" to reopen the original form (request type, parties, facts) pre-filled, update it, and generate a new version.
  5. 5Re-download any document at any time as Word, PDF, or UYAP's own UDF format.
💡

Tip: Contracts can't be edited in place yet — to change one, generate a new one from the same template in Create Contract.

Bar Verification

Declare your bar association membership; once your application is approved, a seniority-based discount is applied automatically to your subscription payment. This is not a real bar API integration - applications are currently reviewed and approved manually.

How to use it

  1. 1Open Bar Verification from the account menu.
  2. 2Enter your bar association, registration number, and years of seniority, then submit your application.
  3. 3Wait while your application is reviewed under "Pending" status - this can take a few business days.
  4. 4Once approved, a 25-40% discount (based on seniority) is applied automatically to your next subscription payment.
  5. 5If any of your details are wrong, use "Reapply" to update your application.
💡

Tip: The discount only applies once your application is approved - a pending or rejected application doesn't affect your subscription price.
