Frequently asked questions

What every attorney asks before trusting a legal AI.

Can I cite Lexiel answers in a court brief?+

Lexiel gives you the original citation (article, ruling number, ECLI). You cite that official source, not Lexiel. The AI is your research tool, just like a legal search engine; the responsibility to verify always falls on the attorney. No software exempts you from that ethical obligation.

What if the BOE amends a law and the corpus hasn't been updated yet?+

The corpus is updated with each BOE publication via automated scraping. Typical lag is 24-48h. For very recent reforms, Lexiel indicates the date of the last indexed version in the citation. The questions we missed in the current benchmark are listed in the transparency section.

How do I verify that the citation provided is correct?+

Each answer includes the exact text of the source fragment with its full reference (BOE-A-XXXX, ECLI:ES:TS:...). You can go directly to the BOE or CENDOJ with that identifier and compare. If there is a discrepancy, there is a report button on every answer.

Is using client data in Lexiel GDPR-compliant?+

Data is stored on EU servers (Germany). Personal data is anonymized before it is sent to AI providers, which operate in the US under Standard Contractual Clauses (sub-processor list in the privacy policy). Lexiel does not train models on user data. Each organization has its own isolated space. The DPA is available for legal review. For firms with clients in regulated sectors (banking, healthcare), we recommend reviewing the DPA with your DPO before incorporating personal data.

Can Lexiel be wrong even with RAG active?+

Yes. 98.0% means 3 misses out of 152 on the July 2026 exam, and we publish each of them. That is why every answer carries the citation of its source: so you can check it.

Is the benchmark methodology auditable by third parties?+

Yes. The questions come from official exams with answer keys published by the Ministry of Justice and we publish Lexiel's answers; anyone can recount and replicate the test. If you are a competing legal AI and want to compare results using the same methodology, contact us at benchmark@lexiel.ai.

Are you a competing legal AI?

The methodology is public and reproducible. Use the same official questions and share your results. We will update the comparison table with any verified result.

Scoring rules & human context

The bar access exam uses penalized scoring: each wrong answer deducts 1/3 point (−0.33). With 4 options per question, this formula statistically neutralises random guessing. There are no blanks here: the question left unanswered by the provider error also counts as a miss.
