Harvey's Knowledge Sources

This list reflects currently supported integrations with publicly available data sources covering legislation, case law and other regulatory information.

Early Access (EA) vs. General Availability (GA)

We currently offer Knowledge Sources in both EA (beta) and GA stages. EA sources are fully functional but may still be refined as we actively monitor data quality, reliability, and incorporate user feedback. Once a source consistently meets our standards for stability and performance, it is promoted to GA and becomes fully supported for everyday use.
