Legal citation checking
Every citation in a brief verified against the underlying case, overruled authority flagged, exceptions routed to a lawyer for review.
- Before
An associate checks every citation in a brief by hand the night before filing. Overruled authority slips through anyway.
- What we did
An AOP triggered by email. Paste the brief or upload the folder. Every cite verified, the underlying case pulled, overruled or superseded authority flagged.
- After
A review document with only the exceptions for a human. The rest is confirmed with a link to the source. An AmLaw 100 firm runs it from the litigators' inbox.
It flags; a lawyer decides. Connect your licensed research databases for comprehensive coverage.
Exceptions to a human. Everything else, confirmed.
Email-triggered brief verification to review document
“Use the Athena platform probably closer to the concept and how it was designed, like, with the spaces architecture where you've got a set of primitives and capabilities, and you bring together the right set of capabilities to solve a task.”
“I'm very excited. This is something that I have been piecemealing with the limited tools that analysts get... rather than me at nine PM getting a failure email and deciding I'll just do it myself.”
“It's good to understand the capability of the platform. That how far, and how quickly you guys can get these things going [...] that has been impressive overall.”
“Lets us get a lot more out of our data than [...] We can sit on top of all of the data in [our data warehouse] as opposed to just, like, our little ingested, you know, three gigabytes semantic models. I think we have a lot of power here.”
“Gave Athena the spreadsheet, explained which column I was trying to figure out, and then ten secs it told me... exactly how the calculation was based on the other data.”
“He wrote the entire stuff. By itself. And I was there, and I was thinking, alright. If I had to write all this stuff, I mean, I would've spent days, days, days.”
“I send that to the programmer and he said, alright. I read your file. I copied the section of the code because he has the right interface, and it works. Wow. Just like magic.”
“One workspace. All different, let's say, avatars of their output data. Right? Suddenly, it's dashboard. Excel is here. PowerPoint is when it's all together. It's very impressive.”
“Digital worker, it gets spun up, it gets given access to the toolkits that it needs. It gets given access to the data that it needs. Just exists for the period it needs to exist to perform the task. And then it gets torn back down again afterwards.”
“I like that direction, that concept of the agent is the agent. It becomes an entity in its own right with its own ownership and its own missioning, and you get rid of the gray area and the blurry lines.”
