Why Not Just Use AmLegal?
Because AmLegal assumes you already know the law’s exact language.
A restaurant owner doesn’t search:
“§51A-4.217(b)(11)(E)”
They search:
“Do I need a permit for a patio with live music?”
AmLegal
gives you a pile of statutes to parse.
COGS
gives you an answer, a citation, and what to do next.
AmLegal? It’s a search engine. COGS? It’s a compliance machine.
