Skill: Find a Practical Law document

Category: Research

The
Find a Practical Law Document
skill is an AI-powered capability that lets you retrieve relevant Practical Law content—such as standard documents, practice notes, checklists, and toolkits—by simply describing what you need in natural language. It is designed to work within CoCounsel, enabling fast, intuitive access to trusted legal resources.

Features and benefits

  • Find trusted Practical Law resources, including templates, overviews, and checklists, to accelerate your legal work.
  • Each search result in the
    Find a Practical Law Document
    experience displays key document metadata - Resource Type, Jurisdictions, Practice Areas - and a concise Abstract. This lets you assess the relevance of each document without needing to open the full document view.
  • You can also download Practical Law documents directly from the search results list in Microsoft Word format, without needing to open the full document view.

Practice tips

  1. Tell CoCounsel what type of document you need in the chat. You can formulate your request broadly, for example, “Find me a settlement agreement.” Or, you can specify parameters such as jurisdiction, for example, “Find me a settlement agreement. I am in California.”
  2. You can use natural language queries like “Can you find a [practice area] agreement/template/checklist,” “Do you have a template for [document type]?” or “Show me an agreement where [parameters].”
  3. CoCounsel will return a list of links to relevant Practical Law documents from across various legal contexts.
    • Each result will include a description and fields indicating the type of document, the jurisdiction, and the practice area.
  4. You can narrow your results with follow-up user prompts (for example, specifying a jurisdiction or practice area).

Limitations to keep in mind

  • This skill will retrieve Practical Law resources only.
  • The skill requires a Practical Law subscription in addition to a CoCounsel subscription but is available to subscribed users in the CoCounsel user interface.
