iCourt

iCourt’s Alpha is China’s leading legal intelligence platform, combining massive legal big data, AI retrieval and case management for lawyers and law firms.

Overview

iCourt, founded in 2013, built Alpha (阿尔法) into the operating system used by hundreds of thousands of Chinese legal professionals. Its legal database covers 150 million+ judgment documents and 3 million+ laws and regulations with second-level retrieval, and its AI layer generates legal research reports, powers case-law recommendations and assists document drafting. Beyond research, Alpha manages the full case workflow — clients, tasks, documents, timekeeping and approvals — plus firm management (conflicts, finance, HR) and an online law school. ISO 27001 and MLPS level-3 certifications make it acceptable to top firms and legal departments.

Lawyers search judgments and statutes in seconds, generate research reports that cite authorities directly, and manage matters from intake through billing inside Alpha. Firm administrators run conflict checks, finances and approvals on the same platform, and the AI assistant answers practice questions grounded in the legal database. Cross-platform support means courtroom and client meetings work from mobile, while Word add-ins keep drafting in familiar tools.
