Arbitration research has never been a single-source exercise.
The public record, awards, decisions, treaties, precedent from institutions around the world, form one layer of the picture. But the materials that often prove just as decisive live somewhere else entirely: in your firm’s past submissions, your notes on how a particular arbitrator reasons, the annotated treatises your team has built up over years, case documents, the internal knowledge that shapes how your practice actually works.
Good research draws on both. The problem is that no tool has ever made that possible in one place, and working around that limitation does not just cost time; it creates gaps in the analysis.
Generalist AI tools can connect to your internal documents, but they were not designed for the complexity and specificity that arbitration demands. Jus AI was built for exactly that complexity, but it could only work with what was in its own database. Practitioners have been caught between the two, until today.
My Sources brings your personal knowledge into Jus AI, alongside the Jus Mundi database, so that every query can draw on the full picture for the first time.
My Sources: Find What Matters, Across Everything You Know
My Sources is a dedicated space within Jus AI where you bring your personal knowledge into the research environment and make them available alongside the Jus Mundi database. Upload once, and those sources are ready for you to draw on across any conversation, without re-uploading, without switching tools, and without starting from scratch each time.
For any given conversation, you decide exactly what Jus AI draws on: your personal knowledge alone, the Jus Mundi database alone, or both together. You can scope a query to a single document, a specific folder, your entire Vault, or the full combined picture. That level of control means the research reflects the question you are actually asking.
Getting your documents in is equally straightforward. Import an entire folder directly from your device, including its nested subfolders, and it arrives in your Vault exactly as it was organized locally. No manual rebuilding, no reformatting. And because research rarely follows a linear path, you can attach new files or folders at any point during a conversation without restarting the thread. When something new becomes relevant mid-research, you bring it in and keep going without having to start from the beginning.
Jus AI can now handle up to 10,000 documents at once from My Sources, which means complex matters with hundreds of pleadings, expert reports, and annexes no longer require any compromise before the analysis begins.
Put Your Knowledge to Work
My Sources opens up research workflows that simply were not possible before. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Research Grounded in Your Reference Materials
Pin your core treatises, commentaries, cases, and institutional publications to My Sources once. Every research session draws on them automatically alongside Jus Mundi, no re-uploading, no switching tools.
“Summarize how leading commentators and recent awards have approached the fair and equitable treatment standard in energy sector disputes.”
Watch how this works below.
Drafting in Your Firm’s Voice
Upload past submissions, pleadings, and briefs. Jus AI drafts new documents that reflect your firm’s structure, tone, and precedent rather than a generic template.
“Draft a memorial introduction for an ICSID claim in the energy sector, aligned with the structure and tone of our prior submissions in similar matters.”
Built for the Sensitivity of Arbitration Work
Uploading private case materials, internal submissions, and confidential client documents to any platform is a decision that demands more than standard assurances. My Sources was built with that reality in mind.
Your Vault is private to you alone. Nothing you upload is accessible to other users, shared across the platform, or used to train any AI model. And critically, not even Jus Mundi can decrypt what you store there. Your documents remain yours, in every meaningful sense.
For practices where confidentiality is not just a preference but a professional obligation, that foundation matters. It is backed by ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 certification and SOC 2 Type II attestation, the same standards the most security-conscious institutions in the world build on.
Confidentiality is not a feature of My Sources. It is the foundation it was built on.
Building Towards Arbitration’s Most Complete Research Intelligence
My Sources is the second step in a broader vision for what Jus AI becomes. We are building towards a research environment that draws on four distinct sources of knowledge: the Jus Mundi database, your personal knowledge through My Sources, external connections and professional search via Arbitration Search 2.0, and eventually web and third-party data, for anything that exists beyond our database. Each step means deeper, more complete answers, drawn from a broader universe of knowledge than any single source could provide.
The next step is already in progress. Arbitration Search 2.0 will bring the power of Jus AI to arbitrator research and selection, improving its architecture and making it possible to find patterns, analysis, and nuance in a way that has never been possible before.
We are also looking ahead to how My Sources scales across teams. Today it is a powerful tool for individual practitioners. The natural next evolution is organization-level sharing, so that a firm’s collective knowledge, its documents, its precedents, its institutional memory, becomes a shared resource that every team member can draw on without duplicating the effort of uploading it themselves.
The goal is to make Jus AI the most complete research intelligence available to arbitration practitioners. My Sources is a significant step towards that.
The Full Picture, Finally Within Reach
Arbitration research has always demanded more than any single source could provide. My Sources brings that reality into the research environment for the first time, combining the depth of the Jus Mundi database with the personal knowledge your practice has built over years of work. The result is not just a more powerful tool. It is a fundamentally more complete way to research, draft, and advise.
My Sources is available now to all Jus AI Core and Max users, with no additional activation or fee required.
If you are ready to bring your personal knowledge into the conversation, your account team is here to help or you can get started here. Or request a demo and see what My Sources makes possible for your practice.
