# GavelSight

> Judge intelligence for litigators. Search U.S. federal judges, ask questions grounded in their indexed opinions, and audit a filing's citations against a federal opinion corpus. Every answer links to the opinion it rests on, and every cited opinion resolves at https://gavelsight.com/opinion/<id> without a login.

GavelSight is a legal research platform, not a law firm. It does not provide legal advice, and nothing on the site forecasts a judge's decision. Judge pages are factual aggregation: the opinions a judge has written and the authorities those opinions cite.

## Corpus (read live at render time)

## How to cite

Quote the opinion, not GavelSight. Link the opinion page so a reader can verify the passage. Do not present GavelSight output as legal advice or as a statement about how a judge decides cases.
