Open Law Explorer →

Law Explorer is Intellegal's statute search for Philippine law. Rather than browsing by act number alone, you can search the full text by keyword, by title, by issuance number, or with a plain-language question, then open and read the law in your browser. It is a research aid for legal professionals, students, and the public — not legal advice.

What Law Explorer covers

The tool searches Philippine statutes and issuances in one place: Republic Acts, the legal codes — including the Civil Code, the Revised Penal Code, the Labor Code, and the Family Code — together with presidential decrees, executive orders, Batas Pambansa, and administrative issuances.

How the search works

Enter a keyword, a statute title, an issuance number, or a question in everyday language. Law Explorer returns matching laws with their reference number, title, and date, so you can find the specific provision instead of guessing the act number. Open any result to read the full text, and export it to PDF for your files.

Who uses Law Explorer

Lawyers and paralegals confirming the governing provision, bar reviewees and law students reading primary sources, and compliance teams and members of the public who need the exact statute text.

Find a specific code

Browse a frequently used Philippine code: Civil Code, the Revised Penal Code, the Labor Code, the Family Code, and the Rules of Court.

Works with the rest of Intellegal

Pair Law Explorer with Case-Law Analytics to find the jurisprudence applying a statute, Deep Synthesis for a cited research report, Case Contrast to compare two decisions, and Visual Digest to summarize a long document.
