The MCP/API authority-retrieval layer for identifying source-linked authorities, quote-ready passages, paragraph pinpoints, and SternBench Search links through approved AI and knowledge workflows.
SternBench Authority is the MCP/API authority-retrieval layer for the SternBench offshore case law database. It connects approved AI and knowledge workflows to citation-friendly authorities, passages, paragraph pinpoints, and source links.
Search is the web research database for finding and reading judgments directly. Authority is for retrieving source-linked authorities through approved MCP/API or AI-provider integration workflows while keeping the underlying source material connected to SternBench Search.
SternBench Authority is available for authorized pilot, review, and integration discussions.
No. SternBench Authority is a legal research aid. It is not legal advice, not a full citator, not a complete appellate-history or good-law service, and not a substitute for professional legal judgment.
SternBench Authority is designed not to create a persistent SternBench history of user legal research queries or user-specific authority results. The service processes queries transiently and may keep temporary in-memory fetch handles that currently expire after 15 minutes.
