We built this because
we needed it
Founded by a practicing Caribbean litigator who was tired of spending more time searching than thinking.
The problem we lived with
You know the drill. You have a hearing in three days and you need to find every relevant authority across multiple Caribbean jurisdictions. So you open five different websites, run dozens of searches, and spend half your day sorting through results that may or may not be current.
We built JURIST because we were tired of it too. One platform that brings together case law, legislation, and commentary from across the Caribbean — and actually understands what you are looking for when you ask a question in plain English.
Every feature exists because a practicing litigator needed it. Authority ranking, because you need to know instantly whether a case helps or hurts. Cross-jurisdictional discovery, because the best precedent for your Trinidad matter might be sitting in a Barbados judgment. Opposing Counsel mode, because you should stress-test your arguments before your opponent does.
How we got here
Concept born from a litigator's frustration with fragmented Caribbean legal research
30,000+ documents indexed across 14 jurisdictions. Four research modes developed.
Beta launch. First attorneys experience cited answers in seconds.
Level the playing field across the entire Caribbean
A solo practitioner in Dominica deserves the same research firepower as a 50-lawyer firm in Kingston. JURIST exists to make that a reality, not a talking point.
Promises, not slogans
Every citation is verifiable
Every claim links to the source text. We never fabricate authorities. You click, you read, you verify. That is how trust works.
The whole Caribbean, not just yours
The best precedent for your case might be in a jurisdiction you have never searched. JURIST makes sure you find it.
Your strategy stays yours
Your research, notes, and work product are completely invisible to every other firm on the platform. No exceptions.
Built by someone who does what you do
Founded by a practicing Caribbean litigator, not a technology company guessing what attorneys need.
