ask_legal_question
ChatGPTAnswers a legal research question against LawMate's curated database of caselaw, legislation, and guidance for IL or US. Returns a sourced answer with citation links. Useful for legal research tasks such as questions, analysis, case studies, applying law to facts, discussing liability/elements/defenses, explaining laws, legal opinions, or searching for laws, verdicts, and regulations — including finding or locating specific court rulings, precedents, case law, and statutory provisions. Suitable for both general and professional-level (e.g. lawyer) questions. This tool is stateless: it does not accept or store prior conversation turns. For a follow-up question, fold any needed facts and the relevant earlier LawMate question/answer into the
question text itself.
