Common questions about OpenLaw.
Learn what the app can do, what it covers, and what it cannot do.
No. OpenLaw is a legal research tool, not a lawyer. It helps you find Philippine laws and court decisions fast. But it does not give legal advice. For anything that affects your rights, talk to a licensed Philippine attorney.
OpenLaw searches Philippine statutes and Republic Acts, Supreme Court decisions, and executive and administrative orders. All sources come from official Philippine legal databases.
Yes. Every answer links to a specific source. You will see the law number, G.R. number, or order title. You can use that to find and read the original document yourself.
OpenLaw pulls answers from real legal texts, not general knowledge. It finds the most relevant passage and cites it. But laws can change. Always check that the source cited is still the current version.
Each answer shows its source. You can open the original text to check the exact words. For important legal matters, also check the Official Gazette or the Supreme Court E-Library, or ask a lawyer.
If no source is found, OpenLaw will say so. It will not make one up. Try rewording your question, using a law name or G.R. number, or narrowing your topic.
No. You can search in plain words. Try asking: 'What are the grounds for annulment in the Philippines?' You do not need to know any citations before you start.
