JADE will always be free for core legal research. Every Australian can search 790,000+ decisions, 6 million+ pinpoint citations (including parallel citations), and 223,000+ statutes parsed to section, sub-section, and clause level, use search filters, set up basic alerts, and browse case law and legislation at no cost. That’s a principle, not a marketing position.

JADE Professional adds depth for practitioners whose work depends on thorough research:

• Section citations: See every case that has cited a specific provision of legislation, traced to the exact paragraph. JADE’s parsers recognise sections, sub-sections, and clauses, so citations are mapped at clause-level granularity. This is the feature most practitioners start with.
• Case visualisation: Map citation networks visually. The precedent tracker, similarity tool, and parallel citations help you find related authorities you’d miss in keyword search.
• Advanced alerts: Set alerts at the section level for legislation and paragraph level for case law. Choose immediate, daily, or weekly notifications.
• Document upload and JADEmarks: Upload your own documents. JADE automatically checks your citations, creates links, and helps you find similar cases.
• Legislation comparison: See how a provision has changed over time with amendments highlighted. Compare any two versions side by side.
• Jasmine AI search: Ask a question in plain language and Jasmine will show you relevant passages from judgments as a starting point for your research.

Professional costs $95/month or $995/year (~$83/month, saving $145). You can start with a 14-day trial for $1 — all features, 200 interactions, no automatic renewal. Convert before day 10 and your first month is free.

Legislation linked to case law is the feature that sets JADE apart. No other Australian platform lets you see every case citing a statutory provision, compare legislation versions with amendments highlighted, and trace judicial interpretation across those versions — all in one interface. It’s the #1 reason trial users become Professional subscribers.

Professional users also have access to a JADE Editor — a support specialist who can help you navigate legislation features, set up alerts on provisions you’re tracking, and find the most efficient research workflow for your matter.
