Counsel · AI Drafter

Draft with the record,
verify as you write.

A professional drafting instrument for attorneys — evidence-anchored, officer-readable petition sections, generated section by section from the Case File, checked for hallucinated citations before they ever reach a filing.

Evidence tags dock inline; a gap gets flagged, not hidden.

01

What the attorney gets.

01

Sections drafted from the record, not a blank page.

Every sentence traces to an exhibit or is flagged honestly — [NEEDS EXHIBIT] where the record is thin, [ATTORNEY: confirm] where only the client can say.

Evidence-anchoredHonest gap flagsAnti-repetition across sections
02

A Draft Intelligence rail, not just prose.

Every generated section arrives with the exhibits it used, what still needs evidence, what the client needs to confirm, and where an officer would push back.

03

Check this draft before anyone else does.

One click reruns Petition Studio's analysis, a consistency check, and a citation-integrity scan — any AAO identifier that doesn't match a real retrieved decision gets flagged.

Every section starts from a blank page.

Re-reading exhibits and re-deriving the argument structure for each criterion section eats hours before any actual drafting happens.

A generic AI draft can't be trusted without a second read.

Fabricated citations and unanchored claims from a general-purpose chatbot have to be caught by hand, exhibit by exhibit.

Sections drafted separately repeat themselves.

Without shared context, each section re-narrates the same exhibit instead of referencing it briefly, bloating the petition.

03

Why a general chatbot can't safely draft a petition section.

A drafting tool that can fabricate a citation isn't saving an attorney time — it's creating review work.

It has no access to your client's actual record.

A general-purpose AI drafts from what it's told in the moment — with no persistent, structured Case File, nothing keeps it anchored to real exhibits.

It can invent a plausible-sounding AAO citation.

Without a retrieval step and a deterministic backstop, a chatbot can cite a decision identifier that doesn't exist — AI Drafter's integrity check exists specifically to catch this.

It doesn't remember what the last section already said.

Each chat turn drafts in isolation — no anti-repetition, no shared narrative, no awareness of what's already been argued.

04

How a section gets drafted.

01

Generate a section from the outline.

Case File, chosen narrative, existing sections, and retrieved AAO excerpts all feed the draft — streamed in real time.

02

Review the Draft Intelligence rail.

Exhibits used, needs-exhibit flags, attorney-confirm items, and vulnerabilities — right next to the section.

03

Revise in place, or bridge two sections.

Select a passage to tighten, de-generalize, or anchor to an exhibit — or write a transition between two sections.

04

Check the whole draft before export.

One pass catches inconsistencies and any citation that doesn't match a retrieved decision, before it reaches a filing.

EVERY CLAIM TRACES TO AN EXHIBIT OR IS FLAGGED
