Abstract: Techniques for performing legal research and legal reasoning are disclosed. An input associated with a legal context is received from a user and a first temporal metadata indicative of at least one legally significant time associated with the legal context is identified from the input. A plurality of candidate legal information records is retrieved from a legal knowledge repository based on semantic similarity. Each candidate legal information record includes second temporal metadata. The candidate legal information records are filtered based on temporal correspondence between the first temporal metadata and the second temporal metadata to obtain at least one temporally applicable legal information record. A plurality of legal analyses is generated based on the legal context and the temporally applicable legal information record, such that the analyses correspond to different legal reasoning perspectives. A synthesized legal reasoning is generated based on the plurality of legal analyses and output. Fig. 1
