The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales (ICLR) launched its latest digital upgrade, ICLR.4, this week

It offers access to new features and support, including an AI-driven research tool, Case Genie.

The charity publishes law reports of English law. Sir Alastair Norris, former High Court judge, Chancery Division, and ICLR member, said: ‘For my generation, the meticulously compiled Law Reports Consolidated Index was an essential tool in practice and a constant aid on the bench.

Now a digital version linked with the AI embedded in Case Genie promises to take effective research to another level for this generation.’
