ALL LAW OFFICES USE CASES

Research summaries

The most expensive hour of legal research is the first one — the blank-page hour where you're just trying to find the shape of the doctrine. The assistant gives you a structured map in minutes: the governing framework, the leading authorities to pull, the open questions. It's a starting point built for verification, never a substitute for your own citation check.

A Day With This Running.

An illustrative walkthrough, not a customer case study. Actual behavior depends on your tools, data, review rules, and implementation.

1
You ask in plain English

'Can a commercial landlord in this state withhold consent to assignment unreasonably if the lease is silent?' — typed the way you'd ask a colleague.

2
Minutes later — a structured map

The governing rule, the main line of authority, the split if there is one, and the doctrines nearby that might matter — organized like a bench memo outline.

3
You verify like a lawyer

Every authority named is a lead to pull and Shepardize yourself, not a citation to trust. The map tells you where to dig; the digging is still yours.

4
Research starts at hour two

You skip the flailing hour and go straight to reading the cases that matter — which is the part of research that was always worth your rate.

What You Could Measure.

These are hypothetical before/after examples, not measured results or performance guarantees. Establish your baseline and test realistic targets in a pilot.

Time to first useful authority

▸Before: An hour of searching and skimming

▸After: Minutes

Research memo turnaround

▸Before: A day or two

▸After: Same afternoon, verified

Risk of relying on a bad citation

▸Before: n/a

▸After: Unchanged — the workflow requires you to pull and check every authority

Illustrative potential impact: The 'where do I even start' hour at the front of research goes away.

Simpler Than You'd Think.

Scope integrations, training, and approval before anything goes live. Here are the starting points to discuss:

  • ▸We configure the assistant for your jurisdiction and practice areas.
  • ▸We set the house rule into the tool itself: outputs are maps for verification, flagged as such, with nothing citable until you've checked it.
  • ▸Works alongside your existing research subscriptions — it points; they confirm.
PRIVATE & SELF-HOSTED AI
Design for the data boundaries you need

We can evaluate private, local, self-hosted, or hybrid deployment for this workflow. Before implementation, agree on data flows, access controls, retention, backups, and any external integrations. Private hosting alone does not guarantee privacy or regulatory compliance. Learn more about Private AI →
