drafting, and citation

§LawGIQ·4.2s·12 sources

Criminal liability for medical negligence requires gross negligence — not mere error.

Under S. 304A IPC a doctor is criminally liable only where the negligence is gross or reckless. A simple lack of care or an error of judgment is not enough — the Bolam standard applies.

What LawGIQ does

Three categories of work, returned to you as finished thought.

Research that reads the whole record. Drafting that cites itself. Verification that catches what citators miss. Each surface is an opinion, not a feature list.

01 — Research

Memo-grade answers, with the case in your hand.

Ask in plain English. LawGIQ pulls binding authority for your jurisdiction, distinguishes adverse holdings, and surfaces the controlling passage — not a synopsis.

§ LawGIQ · 4.2s
“Under S. 304A IPC, liability attaches only where the negligence is gross or reckless…”
02 — Drafting

Briefs and memos that already cite themselves.

Generate sections in your firm's house style. Every assertion carries a citation, every citation carries a currency check against later judgments. Edit inline, regenerate the surrounding paragraph without losing the rest.

The court held that a duty arises where foreseeability of harm and the relationship between the parties support it.14
03 — Verification

Catches what a citator's flags miss.

Every cite in your draft is checked against the full text of subsequent decisions — not just headnote signals. Distinctions, narrowings, and silent overrulings flagged inline.

Inside the workspace

One matter, every authority, in context.

The workspace doesn't separate research from drafting from citation. They're the same surface — because that's how the work actually flows.

Source-anchored answers

Every passage links to the exact paragraph it was drawn from, in the cited decision. No black box.

Jurisdiction-aware

Filter by the Supreme Court, any High Court, or tribunal. LawGIQ knows the difference between persuasive and binding precedent.

House-style aware

Trained on your firm's filings — adopts your citation conventions, voice, and section structure.

Matter-isolated

Documents, prompts, and outputs are siloed per matter. Confidentiality by architecture, not policy.

§Supreme Court of India

Jacob Mathew v. State of Punjab, (2005) 6 SCC 1

We hold that to attract S. 304A IPC the negligence must be gross or reckless — a mere error of judgment or want of ordinary care will not suffice for criminal liability.

I used to spend Sunday afternoons running citations through SCC Online on every authority in a brief. LawGIQ surfaces silent overrulings before I'm even done drafting — and tells me which paragraph in Vishakachanged the rule. That's the part Manupatra never did.
