Your Arbitration Decisions, Searchable
Store every arbitration decision your organization receives and find it by the facts, issue, or article — your own outcomes become a resource you can search and cite, not a folder of PDFs.
Semantic search with reranking — surface your decisions that match the facts of the case, not just your keywords.
Built by the editor of Canadian Labour Arbitration (Brown & Beatty), so the search reads your decisions the way an arbitrator would.
Your Outcomes, Grounded in Facts
Find Your Decisions
- Natural-language search: Describe the facts of a new case in plain language and Sertus returns your decisions that addressed the same issues
- Filter by arbitrator: Find how a given arbitrator ruled in your past cases — helpful when preparing for a known appointment
- Filter by issue and outcome: Narrow by issue type (discipline, seniority, contracting-out) and outcome (upheld, denied, modified)
- Cited articles: Search by the collective agreement article at issue — surface your decisions where the same clause was interpreted
- Tuned to labour arbitration: Search that understands the language of labour arbitration, so it matches on meaning, not just wording
- Reranking for precision: A reranking step after initial retrieval so the top results are the ones you'd pick yourself
Analyse and Cite
- Extracted metadata: Arbitrator, parties, outcome, cited articles, headnotes, and key facts — indexed per decision as you add it
- Link to your grievances: Attach decisions directly to your own grievance files to build citation lists for briefs and hearings
- AI Q&A: Ask questions across your decisions and get answers grounded in the actual decision text, not generic legal advice
- Citations traceable: Every AI answer cites the specific decisions it drew from, so you can verify before you rely on it
- Headnote summaries: Fast orientation on an older decision — scan the headnote before pulling the full text
- Read like an arbitrator: Built by the editor of Canadian Labour Arbitration, so the metadata and search reflect how arbitration decisions are actually read
