Legal software for lawyers in Uruguay in 2026
What Custodio Legal checks in Uruguay's Judiciary, which matters it reaches and which it doesn't, and what the AI uses as its input.
Custodio Legal operates in seven countries today, each behind its own plugin — what a plugin declares it supports is the only thing the platform promises there. In Uruguay, what's sold is the AI that reads your documents; the daily case check is the input, not the product. This page states, with its source, what that check reaches and what it doesn't.
What Custodio watches in Uruguay
- The official web services, by IUE, every day. The portal itself states its data is current to the last business day, and Custodio doesn't promise more freshness than that.
- The Consulta de Audiencias, criminal matters included. It's the only structured channel that reaches criminal courts; Custodio sweeps it on a six-day cycle.
- The IUE format. Custodio validates and normalizes
SSSS-NNNNNN/AAAA— the official portal just echoes back whatever was typed, without normalizing it. - Uruguay's calendar. The two judicial recesses of article 86 of Ley N° 15.750, with the Monday-shift of Ley N° 16.805.
- The three regimes of article 94 of the CGP. Deadline computation distinguishes which of the three applies to each case.
- A curated table of twenty-eight IMPO norms, resolved to text whenever a case cites them.
- The Ley N° 18.331 deadline. Five business days, counted from the very day of the request, for the rights the law recognizes.
- AI over your own documents. It summarizes the ruling, states where the matter stands, proposes the deadline, and leaves a draft started — always citing the document each answer comes from.
What is still out of scope
- A party-name search. The Judiciary's
consultaIUERequesttakes a single parameter, the IUE; there's no name search to offer, in any software that queries that same service. - A bar registry. Bar membership isn't compulsory in Uruguay and no bar association publishes a consultable roll; Custodio doesn't invent a badge it can't back up.
- Real-time updates. The IUE lookup is current to the last business day, per the portal itself — that's not a Custodio limitation, it's what the source publishes.
How to try it before deciding
- Create the free account, no card, and add a real case with its full IUE.
- Wait for the first automatic check and see whether it brought back anything from the case's history, not only what happens from now on.
- Upload a document from the file and ask the system something specific — the answer has to cite which document it came from.
- Compare the published price against how many open cases you carry today: the free plan includes 15 open matters.
Frequently asked questions about legal software in Uruguay
Which official search does Custodio watch in Uruguay?
The Judiciary's official web services, by IUE. Custodio also checks the Consulta de Audiencias, a separate channel that does reach criminal matters.
Can I search a Uruguayan case by a party's name?
No. The Judiciary's official service only takes the IUE as a search parameter; there is no public name search in Uruguay, and Custodio can't offer what the portal doesn't expose.
Does Custodio watch criminal cases in Uruguay?
The IUE lookup doesn't reach criminal matters. What it does watch is the Consulta de Audiencias, the Judiciary's only structured channel that reaches criminal courts, swept on a six-day cycle.
