The Geek in Review

Greg Lambert & Marlene Gebauer discuss Descrybe’s rapid growth and fresh take on legal research. A major highlight of the discussion is Descrybe’s unique approach to legal citators. Unlike traditional tools that often provide a blunt “treatment” of a case, Descrybe’s citator allows issue-level analysis and even introduces a “backwards citator.”

Frequently asked questions

You asked, we answered

Does your platform hallucinate cases that don't exist?
No. Descrybe is not a generative AI system — it’s an indexed database of published U.S. judicial opinions. The technology behind Descrybe cannot create or “hallucinate” cases; it only surfaces existing opinions and provides AI-generated summaries that are pre-written, fixed, and always displayed alongside the original court record.
