Judges and court staff face daily challenges

Accelerate case review and prioritization with 40% faster brief summarization, resolving cases 20% faster and saving each clerk an average of nine hours per week.
Citation verification and legal accuracy
Legal filings drafted with unreliable consumer AI tools are increasingly reaching the bench, introducing misinformation risk and undermining judicial confidence in the record.
Identify inconsistencies, potential mischaracterizations, missing authority, and citation issues across briefs and memoranda, all in as little as 10 minutes.
Complex case issue research
Complex legal issues require judges and court staff to synthesize multiple doctrines, verify precedent across jurisdictions, evaluate competing arguments, and anticipate counterarguments, often under compressed timelines and with zero tolerance for outdated or invalid law.
Reduce time spent researching a specific issue by 43% while enhancing rigor, enabling judges to focus on what matters most and quickly eliminate what doesn’t.
Judicial drafting and review
Order drafting, motion review, and recommendation of memo preparation demand meticulous attention to facts, law, and citations, yet are often completed under tight deadlines that heighten the risk of oversight.
Save up to 200 hours per user per year on initial drafting and review by generating first drafts grounded in trusted Westlaw and Practical Law content, freeing capacity to handle more matters without compromising judicial quality standards.
CoCounsel Legal supports courts with different needs at every level
Whether a court is managing volume, increasing efficiency, or tackling the most complex legal issues, CoCounsel Legal adapts to the realities of judicial work — supporting better outcomes without changing how courts exercise judgment.
For high-volume, broad-jurisdiction courts
Get up to speed faster across filings, unfamiliar legal issues, and diverse case types.
Managing a constant flow of cases across many areas of law with limited staff increases the risk of missed issues, inconsistent treatment, or delays as chambers struggle to get up to speed quickly.
How CoCounsel Legal can help:
- Summarize pleadings, motions, and filings to quickly understand issues and requested relief.
- Conduct reliable legal research in unfamiliar or infrequently encountered areas of law.
- Compare filings and create timelines to track overlapping issues across cases.
- Transcribe handwritten or pro se filings to make the record searchable and reviewable.
For high-volume, specialty courts
Streamline routine review and verify authority — so attention stays on the matters that require it most.
Processing large volumes of similar cases under tight timelines can make it difficult to spot edge cases or novel issues, increasing the risk of oversights that require rework or additional review later.
How CoCounsel Legal can help:
- Speed routine case review by summarizing and analyzing recurring filings.
- Check cited authority to confirm accuracy and good law.
- Surface inconsistencies, gaps, or unusual arguments that may require closer attention.
- Draft first‑pass memos or order sections to reduce time spent on repetitive writing.
For complex docket courts
Reduce repetitive analysis and drafting to preserve time for careful review in complex matters.
Balancing high-stakes litigation with repetitive or high-volume matters creates pressure on chambers, where time spent on routine work can divert attention from cases with the greatest legal and public impact.
How CoCounsel Legal can help:
- Identify citation issues and potential mischaracterizations in briefs and motions.
- Analyze and compare filings across routine or high‑volume matters.
- Summarize trial records and filings involving pro se litigants.
- Support drafting and proofreading to maintain consistency and accuracy at scale.
For highly specialized courts
Support deep research, structured analysis, and careful drafting in specialized, high-stakes cases.
Handling complex, precedent-setting cases demands comprehensive analysis and precise drafting, where gaps in research or inefficient workflows can heighten the risk of incomplete reasoning or delayed decisions.
How CoCounsel Legal can help:
- Conduct deep research on complex or novel legal issues.
- Compare arguments, authority, and treatment across jurisdictions.
- Draft structured memos, opinion sections, or orders grounded in the record and the law.
- Improve efficiency in recurring specialized workflows without compromising rigor.
