What's in the library — exactly.
Four jurisdiction packs, primary sources only. Refreshed quarterly; the last-updated date is shown before every session. If a source isn't listed here, it isn't in the library — answers outside the library never carry a library citation.

Thalassa Legal and Thalassa Finance include a pre-loaded library of primary public legal and regulatory sources for the jurisdiction you select at the start of each session. Selecting the correct jurisdiction is your responsibility; it is never selected for you automatically. The library reflects publicly available sources as of the last-updated date shown before each session, is refreshed quarterly and may not reflect very recent changes. It is provided for reference only, does not constitute legal, tax or financial advice, and is not a substitute for independent professional judgment.
