  "description": "Vaquill AI is a legal research tool for United States law. Ask a legal question and ChatGPT finds the statutes and regulations that answer it, quotes their text, and cites each one with a link to the official government source. It can also check whether a citation is real, point to the exact provision it names, and compare how different states handle the same issue.\n\nWhat it covers: the US Code, the Code of Federal Regulations, the statutory codes of all 50 states plus DC and Puerto Rico, state regulations, federal and state court rules and constitutions, federal agency guidance from 53 named sources, agency adjudications, the Statutes at Large and the Federal Register. That is more than 5.4 million sections, including repealed and historical provisions, each marked with its status.\n\nWhat you can do: search all of it at once or narrow to one state or body of law; look up a citation such as 42 U.S.C. 1983; read a section in full, or as it stood on a past date; see which sections cite a provision, the terms it defines, and the matching rule in other states.\n\nWhat it does not do: it does not hold court opinions, foreign law or live bill status, and it does not give legal advice. Status labels report what the official publisher records about repeal or replacement; where currency cannot be confirmed, the answer says unknown.",
