Verified brief drafting and authority research

Westlaw Brief Builder helps litigators research supporting authorities, map arguments to claims, draft briefs and motions, and validate citations, quotes, and legal assertions against Westlaw and Practical Law sources.

Why the human is still essential here

Lawyers remain in control of strategy, choose which arguments and authorities to pursue, confirm relevance, and bear responsibility for final verification and filing decisions.

How people use this

Motion to dismiss draft

AI generates a first draft of a motion to dismiss by aligning the complaint's allegations to legal elements and inserting supporting authorities that attorneys can refine.

Citation and quote verification

Before filing, the system checks whether cited cases support each proposition, verifies quotations against source text, and flags weak or missing authority for correction.

Westlaw Precision / Quick Check

Brief gap analysis

AI reviews an existing brief to identify unsupported assertions, suggest additional precedent, and recommend stronger authorities or counterarguments to address likely opposition points.
