Clearbrief
AI fact-checking and evidence hyperlinking for legal writing.
About
Clearbrief is an AI tool that checks the factual assertions in legal briefs and suggests citations, hyperlinking evidence so judges and opposing counsel can verify claims instantly. It also analyzes opposing counsel's briefs for unsupported statements.
It integrates with Microsoft Word, fitting into the drafting workflow lawyers already use. It is a point tool rather than a full research platform — it strengthens the factual support behind filings but does not replace legal research databases.
