See how Quick Check works
After writing a legal brief, simply and securely upload it to find new authority and related law. In addition to checking your own work, you can also analyze your opponent’s work to identify potential weaknesses in their arguments.
Once you securely upload your brief, Quick Check leverages state-of-the-art AI to examine the text, citations, and structure of your uploaded document to detect the legal issues covered.

In just minutes, Quick Check delivers an easy-to-review report that delivers relevant recommendations based on the headings in your document.
View the holding most related to the issue for which a recommended case is being provided, so you can verify immediately whether the case is in your favor or not.
Quickly review relevant text to help determine whether the recommendation is helpful or not.
See which cases in your document the recommendation relates to in order to gain context and help associate the recommendation to the discrete legal points in your document.
See additional details for why a suggested authority might be important such as frequently cited, from a high court, or decided in the past 2 years.
Use filters, including documents recently viewed or foldered, to help you focus on the recommendations that are most relevant to your research.
