Litigation Strategy

Specifications

How Litigation Strategy works, what it includes, and what controls the result.

Process

How it works

1

Describe the case

Pick the case type, enter the jurisdiction or court, the judge if you know, and your client's goal.

2

Give the facts and the claims

Key facts are required. Add your claims or defenses, what you expect the other side to argue, and any other context.

3

Check what you left blank

Before it runs, it points out important fields you left blank, and you can continue anyway.

4

Read an eight-part memo

Case assessment, theory of the case, ranked arguments, opposition analysis, motions, discovery, risks and the next 30 days.

Includes

What it includes, in full

A full memo runs about 1,800 to 3,000 words, with all eight sections written. The result in the demo above is a shortened sample.

1. Case assessment

An honest overall strength of the position: Strong, Moderate, Weak or Mixed, in one direct paragraph.

2. Theory of the case

The single strongest narrative that ties the client's position together, in one tight paragraph.

3. Priority arguments, ranked

The three to five strongest legal arguments, each with the supporting authority, a likelihood of success and what the opposition will say back.

4. Opposition analysis

What opposing counsel will argue, where they are strongest and where they are most vulnerable.

5. Recommended motions

Which motions are worth filing and when, with a one-sentence reason for each, flagging any that could end the case.

6. Discovery strategy

The evidence to obtain, the depositions to prioritize and the highest-leverage requests.

7. Risk assessment

Realistic best, worst and most likely outcomes, and the biggest risks to the client.

8. Next 30 days

The three to five most important actions, in priority order.

Case type

Personal injury, contract dispute, employment and labor, family law and divorce, criminal defense, real estate, business and corporate, intellectual property, estate and probate, immigration, bankruptcy, civil rights or other.

Blank-field check

It flags important blank fields before it runs, so a thin memo is a choice rather than an accident.

PDF and text download

Copy the memo or download it as text or PDF, and find it later in the firm's history.

Quality

How the result is controlled

Honest about weaknesses

It is written as a trial strategist who tells you the risks, because an attorney who sugarcoats them loses.

Three moves ahead

Each argument comes with what the opposition will say in response.

All eight sections, every time

If space is tight it shortens the earlier sections rather than leaving any out.

Cited authority to verify

The memo ends with a notice that every cited authority must be verified before you rely on it.

A stronger model for this work

It runs on the highest-effort setting of our top model.

Your review comes first

It is for attorney use only. A licensed attorney must review it. It is not legal advice.

What it does not do

It does not research case law

It works from the facts you give it. Use the AI Law Assistant to research authority, and verify every citation it gives.

It does not know what you did not tell it

Thin facts give a thin memo. Fill in the fields.

It does not draft the motions

It recommends them. Use the Document Drafter to draft one.

It does not predict a result

A likelihood of success is a judgment from the facts you gave, not a promise.

State law

How your state’s law is used

The law differs by state, so the work starts from yours.

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

Court rules on AI in filings (36 states so far), 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.

Your firm

Setting it up, and how firms use it

The more of the picture you give it, the more specific the memo.

Jurisdiction and court

Enter the court, and the judge if you know, so the strategy fits where the case is.

Your state's deadlines

Your firm profile brings in your state's filing deadlines and pre-suit steps.

AI Configuration

Administrators can add the firm's own tone and context, applied to every tool.

How firms use it

A new case intake

See an honest assessment before you commit resources.

Before a partners' meeting

Bring a ranked list of arguments and risks.

A motion decision

Decide which motions are worth the cost, and when.

Discovery planning

List the evidence and depositions that matter most.

Settlement talks

Know the best, worst and most likely outcomes before you negotiate.

Testing your own theory

See what the opposition will argue against it.
