Jurism Installers (Current Release)

The Jurism client is a desktop tool for managing research materials. Like other reference managers, it serves as a “smart library” or “desktop research assistant” with support for collecting, organizing, and citing resources.

Jurism is based on the popular Zotero reference manager, to which it adds feature for handling legal and multilingual resources.
