AI in Microsoft Word that verifies legal citations against the record evidence
Clearbrief solves a concrete, painful problem for litigators: confirming that every factual assertion in a brief is actually supported by the cited record. Running inside Word rather than a separate app is a real workflow advantage, and its citation-grounding focus is well-timed given the wave of hallucinated-citation sanctions. At a reported $300 per user per month it is a serious commitment for solos and small firms, so weigh it against how much cite-checking and record review you actually do. Try the demo and test it on a real matter before committing.

CoCounsel is an AI legal assistant from Thomson Reuters designed for legal research, document review, contract analysis, and drafting tasks
A strong fit for law firms wanting AI grounded in Westlaw case law for tasks like legal research, deposition prep, and document review, with citations you can trace. The caveat is it is priced for firms, not solos, and still needs a lawyer to verify every output.
paid·$225/mo
AI legal intelligence that detects lawsuits and manages litigation like a portfolio
Best for plaintiff law firms sourcing cases, mining public data to surface potential large-scale legal violations and class actions before they are widely known. It is a lead-generation and case-discovery engine, not a tool for handling the litigation itself.
