Comparing the law between different jurisdictions is one of the most time-consuming tasks for lawyers. Where '' is for one single jurisdiction, 'Compare Jurisdictions' allows you to ask the same question across multiple. Vincent AI makes it easy by drawing from vLex’s vast repository of trusted and authoritative legal information.

Compare jurisdictions

To get started, select 'Compare Jurisdictions' from the list of workflows.

On the left, you can see your history. If you select any of these queries, it will show you the results it showed you before. As this does not re-run the search, it does not count as a new query. The globe icon indicates research workflows. You can collapse your history by clicking the icon above it.

Select the jurisdictions (including a region or state) you are interested in at the bottom of the box, then type your question in the box. When you first enter the page, the first jurisdiction will match your default search jurisdiction, if it's available from the list.

You can compare up to 15 jurisdictions (or sub-jurisdictions, including states) at a time.

Supported jurisdictions for Research Workflows are currently: Chile, Colombia, the European Union, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. We will be adding more jurisdictions soon.

Brazilian, French, and Portuguese content is available on request.

When you are ready, press the blue arrow to start running your query. The answer may take a minute or two to generate, as Vincent is searching all of our legal content for the best answer to your question. You can continue with your workday while you wait and will be able to retrieve your answer from the history on the left.

If Vincent feels that your question needs rephrasing or splitting into multiple questions, it will recommend these before running the query for you. You can either choose to run all questions or just select the one closest to what you're looking for.

You can also edit your question if you feel you haven't worded it correctly. However, do bear in mind that this will submit a new query.

Your answer will be displayed in a table at the bottom of the screen.

Answer

Your answer will automatically be displayed in a table below your question.

Below the breakdown of the law in each jurisdiction, you will see a comparative analysis of the differences between the two jurisdictions in a table.

You can download this table in Excel or CSV format.

Video Tutorial

Please see the videos for relevant English speaking jurisdictions below:

The table will be split by jurisdiction with the summary of your answer, a link to the expanded answer, and the list of Legal Authorities cited. If you select 'Full answer' or 'Legal Authorities,' it will show you the same layout as the feature.
