AI-Powered Motion Drafting
Draft motions with AI that draws from your case evidence and citation library, verifies every citation before export, and auto-generates Table of Authorities — all in a two-panel workspace.
The Problem
Drafting a motion means hours of research, writing, and citation checking. AI tools can speed up writing, but they hallucinate citations — citing cases that do not exist or misquoting holdings. You cannot trust the output without manually verifying every authority, which defeats the purpose.
The Solution
Attorney Workbench solves the hallucination problem with a built-in citation verification pipeline. Every citation in your draft is automatically checked against CourtListener, legal databases, and your local case library. Bad citations are flagged with a red badge. The system researches and suggests verified replacements. You export only when every citation is green — verified and real.
How It Works
Draft with AI
Select a motion type, describe your arguments, and generate sections with AI that draws from your case evidence, filings, and pre-verified citation library. Work in a two-panel layout — draft on the left, research and citations on the right.
Verify Every Citation
Every citation receives a verification badge: green (verified), yellow (pending), or red (problem). The system checks against CourtListener, legal-validator API, Lexis, and your local database. Bad citations show exactly what is wrong — fabricated quote, wrong topic, nonexistent case.
Replace and Export
For problem citations, the system researches verified alternatives. Accept a replacement with one click. When every citation is green, export to Word or PDF with an auto-generated Table of Authorities.
What's Included
Citation Verification Pipeline
Every citation in your draft goes through multi-source verification. Status badges (verified / pending / problem) update in real time. You see exactly which citations need attention before filing.
Two-Panel Workspace
Draft your motion on the left panel. The right panel shows your citation library, case research, statute lookups, and verification results. No context switching between tabs or applications.
Section-by-Section Generation
Generate individual sections while maintaining control over the overall structure. Edit AI output, add your own analysis, and regenerate specific sections without affecting the rest of the draft.
Table of Authorities
Auto-generated Table of Authorities from your draft citations. Every authority listed with page references, properly formatted for filing. No more manually building your TOA.
Research Replacements
When a citation fails verification, the system researches alternative authorities on the same legal point. Review suggested replacements and accept with one click — the citation, quote, and parenthetical update automatically.
Standards-Aware Drafting
Each motion type uses the correct standard of review. Motion to Compel applies Rule 37 standards. MSJ drafts address burden-shifting frameworks. The AI knows the legal standard, not just the format.
Judge-Informed Tone
When a judge is assigned to your case, the AI adjusts formality, argument structure, and emphasis based on known judicial preferences and ruling patterns from the Judge Intelligence module.
Citation Library Integration
Build a pre-verified citation library from your legal memo or argument outline before you start drafting. When you generate a section, the AI draws from verified authorities first — no hallucinated citations.
Statute & Rule Lookup
Look up any statute or court rule directly from the drafting workspace. Full text appears in the research panel for reference while writing.
URL Source Analysis
Add a web URL as a source and the system extracts and indexes its content. Useful for referencing legal blogs, government resources, or online legal databases.
Export to Word & PDF
Export finished motions as properly formatted Word (.docx) or PDF documents ready for filing. SC court formatting conventions applied automatically.
