The legal technology startup Ai.law recently expanded its offerings with an artificial intelligence (AI) module capable of generating complete litigation complaints. After filling out a form with case-relevant information, the module drafts a Microsoft Word document — currently formatted for the federal court system — containing allegations, claims supported by facts, and a demand section.
Existing Ai.law module capabilities include answering a lawsuit, responding to discovery, and summarizing medical records. The additional complaint drafting feature appears to further simplify the often strenuous legal documentation process. However, it is vital for legal professionals to review and revise the advanced-draft complaints generated by Ai.law before including them in court filings.
Besides drafting a complaint, Ai.law can assist users in identifying potential legal claims to include in their lawsuits and suggest ways to increase the potential damages recoverable. This is based on the jurisdiction and facts specific to each case. One could also use the drafted complaint in Ai.law’s Dismissal Risk Analyzer to test the sufficiency of allegations.
To draft a complaint, a user would fill out a form that includes causes of action, a description and timeline of relevant events, anticipatable contentious issues, facts sympathetic to the client, any defendant’s shortcomings, the relief sought, and any other special instructions. After completing these fields, the user simply clicks “Generate Complaint,” and a fully formed complaint document becomes available for download.
Despite positive experiences with the module, there have been reports of over-the-top language in the introduction of the generated documents. Troy Doucet, Ai.law’s founder, acknowledges feedback about the overly dramatic language and has agreed to ensure its reduction over time. That said, as legal professionals, it is crucial to meticulously review these generated documents before filing them in court.
For legal professionals intrigued by Ai.law’s capabilities, the company offers a free trial. The costs for continued service after the trial range from $209 to $649 depending on features and usage levels. For those seeking to simplify legal document generation, the new functionalities offered by Ai.law are a clear testament to the potential future of legal technology.
