Clearbrief

Clearbrief is an AI citation and evidence verification tool that works inside Microsoft Word, built for litigators, reviewing partners, courts and in-house counsel who need proof that a brief says what its sources actually say. It analyses legal authority and factual assertions against caselaw and the record instead of generating text, so the checking layer itself introduces no hallucinated citations.

Key features of Clearbrief include:

• Cite Check Report: Every legal and factual citation in a document is systematically verified and exported as a PDF audit trail that a partner can review before signing a filing.
• Fact-Cite Evidence Linking: Add Fact-Cite locates supporting passages in the record for a written assertion, so facts are cited to the exhibit or transcript page that genuinely supports them.
• Hyperlinked Filings: Citations are converted into clickable links to the underlying case or exhibit, and a Table of Authorities is generated automatically for the finished brief.
• Timeline and Table Builder: Chronologies, evidence tables and investigation reports are built from large document sets, with every entry hyperlinked back to its page in the source record.
• Research Database Integrations: A direct LexisNexis integration plus a Fastcase and vLex partnership supply the caselaw behind cite checking, and Westlaw-format citations are mapped to matching authority.

Best for: Litigation and appellate practices, courts and in-house litigation teams that need verifiable citations and a defensible review record before a document is filed.

Clearbrief turns citation checking from a manual associate task into a documented, repeatable step in the drafting process. Legal teams get an auditable answer to court standing orders on AI use and a concrete guard against sanctions for fabricated authority.
