RAMTEKRead the opinion the way you would.
Upload a court opinion, brief or memorandum, or paste its text. You get a structured read of what the court held, the standard it applied, the facts that drove the result, where the reasoning is weak, and how a practicing attorney can use it. It is a draft for an attorney to check.
How it works
Add the document
Upload a PDF or a text file, or paste the text. A scanned PDF is read first, after it tells you the page count and what it will cost.
Click Analyze Brief
Steps show while it works: reading the opinion, finding the holdings and standards, checking the cited cases and writing the analysis.
Read nine sections
Document type and citation, core holdings, legal standards, key facts, strongest arguments, weaknesses, cited precedents, strategic takeaways, and red flags and limitations.
Keep it
Copy it, download it as text or PDF, or find it later in the firm's Recent analyses.
Watch it work
A fictional opinion is pasted in and analyzed. The cursor shows each step. The result is a shortened sample with four of the nine sections.

What it includes
A full analysis runs about 1,200 to 2,000 words, and up to about 2,500 for a long, multi-issue opinion. The result in the demo above is a shortened sample.
1. Document type and citation
Whether it is an opinion, brief, memo or order, the court, the jurisdiction, the date and the citation where it is apparent.
2. Core holdings
Each holding in one sentence, with holdings separated from dicta, and each issue addressed on its own.
3. Legal standards applied
The test, standard of review or framework that decided the outcome, such as de novo review or abuse of discretion.
4. Key facts that drove the outcome
The three to five facts the court relied on, not the whole record.
5. Strongest arguments and reasoning
What the prevailing side argued that the court found persuasive, with the most useful language quoted.
6. Weaknesses and vulnerabilities
Gaps in the reasoning, arguments that were rejected and why, and where the losing side could have done better.
7. Cited precedents
The key cases the document cites and how it used them, flagged as helpful authority or as cases that could be distinguished.
8. Strategic takeaways
How a practicing attorney can use it today for pending matters, pleadings and motion practice.
9. Red flags and limitations
Limiting language, factual distinctions that narrow the holding and hostile dicta to note.
Upload or paste
A PDF or a text file, or pasted text, up to 80,000 characters.
Scanned PDFs
A scan with no text layer is read word for word first. It costs one extra AI action for each ten pages started, up to 40 pages, and it asks you before it spends anything.
Recent analyses
Earlier analyses stay in the firm's list, with copy, text and PDF downloads.
How the quality is controlled
Written like an appellate litigator
The analysis reads the document for what it means to a practicing attorney, not just what it says.
Holdings kept apart from dicta
Each holding is stated on its own and separated from side remarks.
Limits stated
Narrowing language and hostile dicta are listed, so you do not overstate what the case holds.
Kept to a working length
About 1,200 to 2,000 words, with each section tight and only the most useful language quoted.
A stronger model for this work
It runs on the highest-effort setting of our top model, because a missed limitation costs more than a few seconds.
Your review comes first
Every analysis ends with a notice that a licensed attorney must review it. Verify every citation before you rely on it.
What it does not do
It reads only what you give it
It analyzes the document you provide. It does not pull the case from a database.
It does not tell you whether a case is still good law
Check for later history in your usual citator before you cite anything.
It does not look up the cited cases
It lists the precedents the document cites and how the document used them. It does not read those cases.
It does not give legal advice
It is a research aid for attorneys.
Your state first, your practice in mind.
The analysis is shaped by your firm profile.
Your state
Set in your firm profile, with up to five other states you practice in.
Your practice
Practice areas, courts and the signature block of each attorney.
AI Configuration

Your state first
It applies the law of the state in your firm profile, uses its own terms, and says when federal law or another state's law governs.
Deadlines and pre-suit steps
Filing deadlines and required pre-suit steps are in front of it for every state and DC.
Court rules on AI
For a growing list of states, it also has the bar guidance and court rules on using AI in filings.
Kept up to date
The reference file is checked every month for new laws and court decisions, and fully re-verified every June and December.
The reference file is an aid researched from official sources, not an attorney's review. Confirm current law before you rely on it.
