How to Search Court of Cassation and Board Decisions: A Comprehensive Guide
Precedent can determine the fate of a case. But finding the right decision is like looking for a needle in a haystack of millions of documents. In this guide, we'll explore how Lextum AI's semantic search technology revolutionizes this process.
The Challenges of Traditional Methods
❌ Time-Consuming: Keyword-based systems return thousands of irrelevant results.
❌ Lack of Scope: Databases that only contain high court decisions are inadequate in technical areas like the Competition Authority, KİK, and RTÜK.
❌ High Cost: Comprehensive databases require expensive subscription fees.
The Modern Solution: Semantic Search
Semantic search goes beyond keywords to understand the meaning of your sentence or question. This is a technology far beyond simple keyword matching.
Example:
Traditional Search Query: "rent price adjustment lawsuit condition mediation"
Lextum AI Semantic Query: "can a tenant file a rent determination lawsuit without applying for mediation"
Lextum AI understands the meaning of the second query and directly provides you with the relevant Court of Cassation rulings and law articles.

Step-by-Step Precedent Search with Lextum AI
Step 1: Query in Natural Language
Type your question into the search bar as if you were asking a colleague.
"Are WhatsApp messages from an employee considered a just cause for termination?"
Lextum AI analyzes this query and brings up not only decisions containing the word "WhatsApp" but also related topics like "phone messages," "social media correspondence," and "insulting communication."
Step 2: Use Smart Filters
Use filters like court, chamber, year, and subject to narrow down the results. If you are specifically looking for a board decision, you can select the Competition Authority from the "Institution" filter.
Step 3: Add to Favorites
