# Law-Review Publication Appendix
## Abstract
Federal FOIA Intelligence Search presents a **link-out, citation-first
architecture** for researching public government records without scraping,
indexing, or replicating official sources.
---
## Contribution to Legal Scholarship
This project contributes to discussions on:
- Responsible AI in legal research
- FOIA accessibility and transparency
- Evidentiary citation integrity
- Ethical limits of automation
---
## Novel Design Elements
- Exhibit-aware Bluebook citation automation
- AI opt-in with cryptographic integrity hashing
- Link-out-only FOIA federation
- Zero-persistence architecture
---
## Methodology
- Agency-specific FOIA search URL generation
- Metadata-only aggregation
- User-initiated actions
- Disclosure-first AI integration
---
## Legal & Ethical Safeguards
- No legal advice generation
- No evidentiary claims by AI
- No substitution for primary sources
---
## Limitations
- Does not assess FOIA compliance
- Does not verify redaction sufficiency
- Does not infer intent or meaning
---
## Implications
This architecture demonstrates a viable middle ground between:
- Manual FOIA research
- Fully automated (and risky) AI legal tools

## Conclusion
The project illustrates how **AI can assist legal research without undermining
due process, transparency, or evidentiary standards**. |
