Today’s Diário
See What Was Published Today. Then Decide What Needs Analysis.
The today tool searches Series I acts using the UTC date of the request. You can narrow by act type and open relevant results, but an absent result never proves that nothing was published: always check Diário da República.
Act-type focus
Concentrate the request on the act types relevant to the monitoring work at hand.

Open the official publication before communicating its scope or impact.

Summary for Triage
Use AI to Decide What to Read, Not What the Law Decides
An AI summary receives the available text or, when no text is present, the act summary. It supports a first reading of what the publication may change. It can omit exceptions, transitional provisions, cross-references, or relationships with other acts.
Search
Finds publications by text and filters and returns structured references.
Retrieval
Opens the available act and presents the fields returned by Diário da República.
AI Summary
Produces a separate reading aid that can be wrong and is metered as an AI-summary unit.
Verification Frame
Before the Conclusion, Move from Lead to Source
Search and summaries help identify what deserves attention. Confirming legal effect requires reading the original publication and the related acts relevant to the date under review.
Before
The Result Provides a Lead
After
The Source Supports the Conclusion
Publication
The result presents a title, number, date, and summary.
Confirm the issue, page, issuing body, and officially published text.
Amendments
The text or summary may mention changes to other acts.
Locate amending acts and read the provisions relevant to the date in question.
Rectifications
A declaration of rectification may appear as another result.
Confirm that it corrects the publication at hand and identify the affected passages.
Revocation
A reference may suggest that the regime was replaced.
Verify the total or partial scope and the moment when revocation took effect.
Entry into Force
A summary may highlight a date or general rule.
Read commencement, effect, and transitional application provisions.

Questions Before Searching
Frequently Asked Questions about Portuguese Legislation
Which legislation sources can I search?+
This page covers Diário da República for Portuguese legislation and official publications. Lauyer queries the source when requested and keeps the link to the official record.
Which filters are available?+
Search by text and narrow by content type, act type, series, start date, and end date. You can also define the result limit and request bulk retrieval of available acts, limited to the first 10 results.
Which act types does Lauyer recognize?+
Current aliases include ministerial order, decree-law, law, Council of Ministers resolution, order, decree, notice, declaration of rectification, regulatory decree, and organic law. The dr_types tool returns the available list.
Can I check today’s publications?+
Yes. dr_today searches Series I acts for the UTC date of the request and can narrow by act type. Availability and indexing still depend on Diário da República.
Do I receive the complete text of an act?+
Lauyer returns the public content Diário da República makes available for the act, including text when that field is present. Some publications may have empty or incomplete fields, so open the official page and available PDF.
Do results show consolidated or currently applicable wording?+
No. The search does not select consolidated legislation, and Lauyer does not guarantee that retrieved text is currently in force. Verify amendments, rectifications, revocations, commencement, and temporal application at the official source.
Is an AI summary a legal source?+
No. It supports triage and initial understanding only. It can omit exceptions, cross-references, or transitional provisions and must be checked against the original text and related acts.
Does Lauyer provide a dedicated EU-directives source?+
No. This page covers Diário da República for Portuguese legislation and official publications. Lauyer does not currently offer a dedicated source for European Union directives.
Can I include confidential information in a search?+
Avoid professional secrets, unpublished facts, and unnecessary personal data. Search terms are sent to Diário da República. When you request an AI summary, the relevant content is also sent to the AI provider.
What do I need to use the tools?+
You need a Lauyer account and an AI client supporting remote HTTP MCP and OAuth. Authorization takes place in the browser; there is no Lauyer application to install.
Does Lauyer store a copy of legislation?+
Lauyer does not maintain a parallel copy of the Diário da República corpus. Each search and retrieval queries the source when requested, and the response preserves the official links made available.
What are the limits of the service?+
Lauyer helps search, retrieve, and summarize public sources. It does not provide legal advice, guarantee complete or current results, replace professional analysis, or reproduce every editorial feature of a commercial legal database.
