Statutes that are not there
A model trained on the open web can cite an Act, a section, or a rule that was never enacted — and still sound certain.
Legal intelligence, grounded in source law.
NOMOS exists so lawyers can research, review and draft against legislation that can be opened and checked — not against a model’s memory of the internet.
The problem
Generic models invent the law.
Legal work cannot rest on a fluent paragraph that may have the wrong Act, the wrong section, or a section that does not exist. Open-web assistants are built to continue a sentence. NOMOS is built to retrieve first, then speak only from what it retrieved.
The wrong section, fluently
Even when the statute exists, the answer can attach the wrong provision, the wrong test, or last year’s version of the law.
Nothing you can open
Without a source you can click through, there is no way to check the answer against the text that actually binds.
What NOMOS is
A legal intelligence platform.
NOMOS retrieves from licensed legislation collections, then answers with the sections it found. When it cannot find an on-point source, it says so. It is research assistance — not a substitute for professional legal advice, and not a general chatbot with a legal skin.
Live coverage today is South Africa, the United Kingdom (Public General Acts, 1996-2024), the United States (2024 US Code titles), Canada (English consolidated federal Acts), and Australia (in-force principal Commonwealth Acts and principal Regulations). Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana are next, each as its own jurisdiction — not a blended “Africa” corpus.
