Norma › Case Law
Turkish case law search
Which decisions cite this article, and what did the court actually say — legislation and case law in the same query.
Reading the statute is rarely enough: to see how a provision is applied you need the case law. Searching two separate sources and matching the results by hand costs time.
In Norma legislation and case law sit in the same corpus. Open an article and you see the decisions citing it; open a decision and you can jump to the provisions it rests on.
