Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| jurisdiction | string | yes | Which corpus: any two-letter state code (all 50 states + dc), or fl_statute (Fla. Stat.), fl_rule (FL court rules), fac (Florida Administrative Code, "6A-6.03019"), ga (O.C.G.A.), usc, cfr, fedrule, sg (sentencing guidelines). A state's COURT RULES live in the SAME corpus as its statutes — pass the state code and cite the rule as lawyers there do: "TRCP 166a" (tx), "MCR 2.116"/"MRE 403" (mi), "C.R.C.P. 56" (co), "CR 56"/"RAP 2.5" (wa), "Ohio Civ. R. 56" (oh), "Pa.R.C.P. 1035.2" (pa), "R. 4:46-2"/"N.J.R.E. 403" (nj), "Md. Rule 2-501" (md), "I.R.C.P. 56" (id), "Conn. Practice Book § 23-8" (ct), "N.C. R. App. P. 10" (nc), "Cal. R. Ct. 8.204" (ca), "22 NYCRR 1250.1" (ny), "Tenn. R. Civ. P. 56" (tn), "Ga. Sup. Ct. R. 41" (ga).
