Why Lawstronaut for Turkish legal research
Turkish legal information is spread across the Mevzuat Bilgi Sistemi, the high courts, the Revenue Administration, the Presidency, and professional bodies. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Turkey legal coverage
Turkey is a civil-law jurisdiction whose codes — notably the Türk Medenî Kanunu (Civil Code), the Türk Borçlar Kanunu (Code of Obligations) and the Türk Ticaret Kanunu (Commercial Code, Law No. 6102) — draw on the continental European tradition. Consolidated legislation is published through the Mevzuat Bilgi Sistemi (mevzuat.gov.tr). Since the 2017 constitutional change to a presidential system, much secondary law is issued through Cumhurbaşkanlığı kararnameleri (presidential decrees). Case law comes from the Yargıtay (Court of Cassation) for civil and criminal matters, the Danıştay (Council of State) for administrative matters, and the Uyuşmazlık Mahkemesi (Court of Jurisdictional Disputes), with a large body of precedent in the UYAP Emsal Karar database. Records are published in Turkish.
Turkish law changes quickly: codes and by-laws are amended frequently, the tax administration issues a steady flow of communiqués and guidance, and the courts publish a high volume of decisions. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Turkish legal research answer correct today.
