The following are open to everyone; you can use them without creating an account.
Court of Cassation and Council of State decision library

More than 11 million decisions of the Court of Cassation, the Council of State, the Constitutional Court, regional courts of appeal, and first-instance courts are accessible without membership, with full text, citation details, and citable permanent links.

The first 50 results require no membership; members see all results.
Search decisionsLegislation search
Search laws, presidential decrees and decisions, decree-laws, bylaws, regulations, and communiqués by title and content. New legislation published in the Official Gazette appears at the top of the list; it opens as text or PDF.
Search legislationFree petition templates
80 templates of claim, response, procedural, request, and objection petitions: family, rental, obligations, compensation, inheritance, condominium ownership, and more. Fill in the blanks on the page and download as Word or as a UDF ready to upload to UYAP; templates that cite repealed laws carry a separate warning.
If a template doesn't fit your case, try the precedent-based petition engine with membership.

Members only
Unlocked with free membership; quotas depend on the plan you choose.
Semantic (similar decision) search
Describe the case in your own words. Your text is compared with decisions by meaning; similar decisions that don't use the same words are listed too. Available with free membership, within your plan's quota.
This is a search method; it does not interpret decisions or produce legal opinions.
Precedent-based petition draft
Describe your case and your request; our semantic search algorithm finds, among more than 11 million decisions, the precedents closest in meaning to your case and the statutory articles they rely on, and the AI writes the petition based on them. This is what sets it apart from a general-purpose chatbot: the precedents are specific to your case, decision numbers in the draft are automatically checked against the sources, and any number that can't be verified is removed. Claim, response, appeal (istinaf), appeal on points of law (temyiz), and objection petitions; downloadable as Word or UDF.
It's a draft, not a legal opinion; review it before use. 2 drafts with free membership, unlimited on the Corporate plan.
Write a petitionSaving, search history, and export
Save decisions to your account and keep your search history. With plans, you can download decisions as Word / UDF and export them in bulk.

Ara Karar is a library of decisions and legislation; it does not provide legal advice. The AI answer is generated only from the decisions the search finds and the statutory articles those decisions rely on; the source of every finding is shown. It is not a legal opinion — the decisions' own text prevails. Search and decision texts are open without membership; unlimited results, semantic search, saving, search history, AI answers, and petition drafts require membership.
