Connects Claude to BAILII's UK case law database with three tools: full-text search across all courts, judgment retrieval with automatic section extraction (summary, conclusions, discussion, background), and court listing. Returns summaries by default since full judgments run 30-100KB, but you can request specific sections or complete text. Runs locally because BAILII blocks datacenter IPs, so requests go through your residential connection. Most useful when you need Employment Appeal Tribunal decisions, older cases not in the National Archives API, or specific tribunal coverage where BAILII's indexing is stronger. Respects BAILII's terms by design, no bulk downloads, just targeted case research through natural language queries.
