Every legal rule, dated, sourced and reviewed.
THEMIS plans matters from rules that carry their source, their effective dates and a named reviewer. A matter keeps the version that applied on the day.
When the law changes, new matters follow the new rule and old matters keep the one they were opened under.
Effective-dated, to the day
Each rule records the date it starts and the date it ends. A matter is checked against the rule in force on its date.
Approved by a person
Only a legal administrator can move a rule to approved, and the reviewer is named on the record.
The life of a rule
- 1
Drafted
A rule is written with its instrument, provision, evidence it requires and the approvals it triggers.
- 2
Reviewed
A legal administrator checks it against the source text and records who reviewed it and when.
- 3
Approved and dated
The rule gains an effective date. Until approval, anything depending on it is shown as needing professional validation.
- 4
Superseded, never overwritten
A change creates a new version. The earlier one remains for the matters that relied on it.

Ready for more than one legal system.

ExploreQuestions
Can the AI update a rule?+
No. Altering a statutory rule is a reserved act. Only a legal administrator can approve or change a rule.
What if a rule has not been reviewed?+
It is shown as requiring professional validation and is not treated as settled law by the workflow gates.
Do old matters change when a rule changes?+
No. Each matter keeps the rule versions that applied when it was opened.
Can we add our own rules?+
For recoveries, yes. Practices maintain their own limitation and interest rule sets, saved as drafts until an administrator approves them.
