Overview#
A prosecutor is preparing a complex fraud brief three days before filing. Her case spans four investigations, hundreds of exhibits, and citations to forty statutory provisions. Manual citation checking would take a full day. An AI redaction review would take another. The Briefing Partner handles both in under an hour: verifying every citation, flagging the three that are broken, identifying PII that needs redaction before public filing, and checking each statutory element for prima facie completeness.
The document arrives at court with a digital signature and a verifiable chain of custody. The defence cannot challenge the document's integrity on procedural grounds.
Key Features#
- AI-powered brief generation with evidence-first drafting.
- Citation verification including missing, broken, and duplicate detection.
- Statutory element compliance checking with gap analysis and contradiction detection.
- ML-powered redaction proposals with PII detection and risk assessment.
- Jurisdiction-specific court brief templates with required field validation.
- Secure export to PDF, DOCX, JSON, and mobile JSON with digital signatures.
- Chain of custody tracking and tamper-evident document integrity.
- Sensitivity levels from LOW to CLASSIFIED with access controls.
Use Cases#
Prosecutors generate initial brief drafts from investigation evidence using AI assistance, then refine the output rather than writing from scratch, compressing document preparation time from days to hours.
Legal teams run pre-filing citation verification to ensure that every reference is complete and intact, catching broken links and missing sources before they reach a judge.
Evidence disclosure teams use automated redaction proposals to identify PII and operationally sensitive material before documents enter the public domain, with human reviewers approving or rejecting each proposal rather than conducting the initial scan manually.
Defence counsel receive disclosure bundles with verified statutory element coverage, ensuring that the prosecution has addressed every required legal element and that the defence team can identify any gaps in the prima facie case.
Integration#
Integrates with evidence, investigation, court filing, and case domains. Supports multiple export formats with forensic integrity verification for court proceedings.
Open Standards#
- GraphQL (June 2018 specification): All briefing operations, including brief generation, citation verification, redaction proposals, and statutory element checks, are exposed as typed GraphQL mutations and queries via the Strawberry framework.
- PDF (ISO 32000): Court-ready brief exports are produced in PDF format, enabling tamper-evident, jurisdiction-compliant document delivery to prosecutors and courts.
- Office Open XML / DOCX (ECMA-376, ISO/IEC 29500): Brief documents may be exported in DOCX format, interoperating with standard word-processing tools used across legal and court environments.
- JSON (RFC 8259): Brief content, chain-of-custody metadata, redaction payloads, and mobile exports are serialised as JSON, the canonical interchange format across all internal and external integrations.
- HMAC-SHA-256 (RFC 2104 / FIPS 180-4): Digital signatures on court-ready exports are computed using HMAC with SHA-256, and per-section content hashes are combined into a Merkle root to provide cryptographic evidence integrity.
- HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 (RFC 9110): Citation verification performs live HTTP HEAD and GET requests against cited URLs to confirm reachability and detect broken or unreachable references before filing.
- OAuth 2.0 (RFC 6749): Access to all briefing mutations and queries is gated by OAuth 2.0 bearer-token authentication, enforcing role-based controls over who may generate, export, or redact briefing documents.
