How CalQuery helps

Most people navigating California courts do so without a lawyer. Court forms, deadlines, and procedural rules can be difficult to understand.

CalQuery is an AI assistant designed for self-represented litigants, researchers, and legal professionals.

It connects your plain-language question to official California court documents and trusted self-help resources, so you can understand what to do next.

Common usage

CalQuery helps you find reliable information quickly, whether you are:

Filing a new case
Responding to court papers
Preparing for a hearing
Requesting a fee waiver
Appealing a decision
Trying to understand court terminology

How CalQuery Works

You ask a question about California court procedures.
The system routes your question to the most relevant court document indexes.
Official court materials and self-help resources are searched.
The AI generates a response based only on those retrieved sources.
Citations are included so you can verify every answer.

If the available court materials do not support a clear answer, CalQuery will say so instead of guessing.

Why It Matters

Access to justice depends on access to understandable information.

California's court system provides extensive public resources, but they are often difficult to navigate. CalQuery bridges that gap by translating official court information into plain-language guidance, while preserving source transparency.

What Makes CalQuery Different

Grounded answers only: Every response is limited to official court documents and trusted self-help sources.
No fabricated content: If reliable support is not available, the system does not generate unsupported answers.
Built-in citations: Each answer includes source references so you can confirm the information directly.
