Jurism
Jurism is a research reference manager based on the open-source Zotero platform, with additions for legal and multilingual materials. Its desktop client supports collecting, organizing, and citing research resources. Firefox and Chrome or Chromium connectors provide a Save to Jurism option and support Jurism in Google Docs. For legal and multilingual citations, it uses CSL-M, an extension to Citation Style Language, and supports reference insertion in Word for Windows and Mac, LibreOffice, and Google Docs. IndigoBook guidance helps users enter legal materials and create automated citations with Jurism styles. The Legal Resource Registry maps jurisdictions and courts and supplies jurisdiction-specific citation abbreviations. Libraries sync through Zotero; metadata sync is free for unlimited volumes, while file storage has subscription plans. The plan for Jurism costs nothing to install. Its tools do not impose advertising, and its privacy policy says user data is not shared with third parties. Upgrading from Jurism 5 to version 6 creates a fresh profile and resets settings, including sync and language settings.
