Built for how lawyers actually research

Not a chatbot guessing from memory: every answer is researched from the sources in your library, and shows its work.

Grounded in the sources

Answers come only from the legislation, judgments and reports Amicova actually retrieved and read for your question, never from memory.

Every citation checked

Each neutral citation, Act and regulation is matched against the library, and each quoted passage is verified word for word. Anything that can't be confirmed is flagged.

Read the source in one click

Citations open the full judgment or provision with the relied-on passage highlighted, on a clean A4 page made for reading.

Legislation as it stands

Acts, regulations, rules and Bills from the official New Zealand Legislation data, with each version's "as at" date and status, and repealed Acts for the law at an earlier time.

Judgments and law reform

Supreme Court judgments with the other decisions in the same proceeding, and Law Commission reports, issues papers and study papers.

Your research, saved

Every question and answer is kept in your history, hidden from other users, so you can pick up a line of research where you left off.

Questions

Is Amicova legal advice?

No. It is a research tool for lawyers, law students and legal professionals. It shows you the authorities and where they say it; judging how they apply is up to you. Always verify against the official sources before relying on an authority.

Where does the law come from?

Legislation comes from the Parliamentary Counsel Office's New Zealand Legislation data; judgments from the Courts of New Zealand website; reports from Te Aka Matua o te Ture | Law Commission. Every document links to its original, and legislation to the official current version.

Are all New Zealand judgments included?

Not yet. The library has every Supreme Court judgment and the Court of Appeal and High Court judgments the courts publish as being of public interest. More courts and tribunals are being added; answers say when the library may not cover a point.

What happens when my trial ends?

Your account and saved research stay. To keep asking questions, subscribe for NZ$49 a month including GST. We'll email you before the trial ends. Nothing is charged automatically.

How do I pay?

Securely through Stripe, by credit or debit card (and Apple Pay or Google Pay where your device offers them). Each payment gives you a month of access, and we email a receipt and remind you before it runs out. No automatic charges.

Is there a limit on questions?

Search and reading documents are unlimited. AI research questions have a fair-use limit of 60 a day, which most lawyers never come close to; it resets at midnight. Go deeper questions come from your monthly allowance.

Is my research private?

Yes. Your questions and answers are never shown to other users, and you can delete them, or your whole account, at any time. Our owners and administrators can see them to run the service and prevent misuse, and each time they do is logged.

Can I cancel?

There is nothing to cancel: if you don't renew, your access simply ends at the end of the month you paid for.
