Quote the reference and Libra fetches the document itself: “ECLI:NL:HR:2022:1495”, “art. 6:162 BW”, “art. 120 Gw”, “Haviltex”.
How Libra searches it
Two different things happen, depending on what you ask. An open research question becomes a semantic search across the Dutch corpus. You don’t have to write it in Dutch — Libra formulates the Dutch query itself and answers in the language you asked in. A question that names a specific document takes a second route. An ECLI, an article of the Burgerlijk Wetboek or the Grondwet, or a case known by its name is first resolved against Legal Intelligence’s Dutch legal thesaurus, then retrieved directly, instead of Libra hoping a semantic search surfaces the right document. Mixing the two in one question is fine — ask for the doctrine and name the leading case in the same sentence.Attenderingen, dossiers, newsletters and RSS feeds are features of the Legal Intelligence platform itself, not of the Libra integration. Libra searches and retrieves; set your alerts up in Legal Intelligence.
What you can ask
- “Wat is de stand van de rechtspraak over het concurrentiebeding na een ontslag op staande voet?”
- “Vat ECLI:NL:HR:2022:1495 samen en leg uit wat het betekent voor de praktijk.”
- “Wat houdt de Haviltex-maatstaf in, en hoe verhoudt die zich tot art. 6:248 BW?”
- “Summarise the Dutch position on directors’ liability, with the leading authorities.”
Setup
Legal Intelligence is an add-on: it needs a subscription with Wolters Kluwer. Connect it from Settings → Integrations like any other source — see Setting up integrations. It is one of the sources where the connection carries your firm’s entitlements rather than switching the whole database on, so what Libra retrieves is what your subscription covers. If an answer comes back with “Libra didn’t find content in your activated sources”, the search ran and your subscription didn’t reach the material; it isn’t a sign that the connection is broken.Alongside the other Dutch sources
Legal Intelligence, InView Legal and InView Tax are separate Wolters Kluwer subscriptions, and any combination of them can be on at the same time. Libra searches each one you enable and numbers all the citations in a single sequence. For tax questions, InView Tax is the specialist of the three.Tips
Name the document when you have it
Name the document when you have it
An ECLI, “art. 6:162 BW” or a familiar case name puts Libra on the direct-retrieval path, which is far more reliable than describing the case and hoping it comes back.
You don't have to ask in Dutch
You don't have to ask in Dutch
Libra writes the Dutch query for you, so English, German or French prompts reach the same material. Ask in your working language.
