Clearbrief is an AI writing platform for litigators that instantly surfaces the record evidence behind every factual statement in a brief.
Clearbrief integrates with Microsoft Word to give litigators real-time, AI-powered citation checking and evidence discovery. As you draft, it highlights factual claims and suggests the exact record cites — depositions, exhibits, transcripts — that support them, with clickable links to the underlying pages. Judges and clerks benefit too: Clearbrief-generated briefs include hyperlinked evidence that makes fact verification fast. The tool is designed to prevent the citation errors that embarrass firms and to dramatically cut the time associates spend assembling record cites.
Litigation drafting is uniquely unforgiving — a miscited exhibit in a filed brief is an embarrassment with reputational consequences. Clearbrief addresses exactly that failure mode by keeping the record next to the draft: every factual assertion can be traced to supporting evidence, and unsupported statements surface before filing. Associates spend far less time assembling record cites, while partners reviewing drafts get clickable verification instead of taking citations on faith. For judges and law clerks, the hyperlinked output materially speeds fact-checking, which several courts have noted approvingly. The tool is narrow by design — it does not attempt to be a full legal AI suite — but within record-based litigation it delivers compounding time savings on every brief, and the error-prevention value is difficult to overstate.
Clearbrief is sold as a paid subscription for legal professionals, with team and firm plans priced per user. Matter-based and enterprise arrangements are available for large litigation practices, and onboarding support is included.
It is built for litigators, appellate lawyers, and litigation-support teams who draft record-heavy briefs. It is particularly valuable in document-intensive cases where manually matching assertions to exhibits is a major time sink.
Clearbrief is a paid professional tool with subscription pricing per user and per firm. Firms can arrange trials on active matters to measure how much time the evidence-surfacing workflow saves before rolling it out practice-wide.
Clearbrief integrates deeply with Microsoft Word and common litigation platforms rather than offering a standalone public API. Enterprise plans can accommodate custom data-handling and integration requirements during implementation.
Compared with general legal AI tools, Clearbrief focuses narrowly and deeply on record-based litigation drafting. Versus manual cite-checking workflows, it reduces hours of exhibit hunting to minutes and catches unsupported statements before filing.
