Know which rule applied, on which day.
Each rule records its instrument, its provision, when it took effect and who reviewed it. Matters keep the version that applied at the time, so you can stand behind the advice years later.
Research that knows how the law connects.
Every authority in your library carries its connections: the decisions that interpret its terms, the later decision that overrules it, the exceptions to its rules and the amendments that change it. When the Agent answers, it reads that map first, so it tells you when a source has been overruled, repealed or amended and relies on the later authority.
The example below is invented for illustration. In THEMIS the map is built from your own library, a legal administrator confirms each connection before an answer relies on it, and the status shown is what your library records, not a full citator.
