Last September, Canadian legal technology firms CiteRight and Jurisage merged, combining their respective expertise in litigation drafting and AI technology. This merger has now yielded its first significant output: AI Insights by Jurisage, a tool designed to help litigators quickly generate high-quality case law summaries.
In a recent demonstration, CiteRight’s CEO, Aaron Wenner, showcased how AI Insights allows users, such as knowledge management specialists, law librarians, and litigators, to generate summaries in various formats tailored for specific needs, from hearing preparation to analyzing opposing counsel’s cases. The tool, embedded within CiteRight, aims to complement the existing workflows rather than overhaul them.
Wenner emphasized three core features of AI Insights:
- Simplicity: The tool focuses on easily summarizing known cases rather than generating new arguments.
- User-Friendly Interface: It eliminates the need for clever prompts, utilizing drop-down menus for functionality selection.
- No Additional Cost: AI Insights is provided to all CiteRight customers without extra charges.
CiteRight’s existing software already enables users to save cases from online legal databases and cite them directly within Microsoft Word, complete with proper citation format and automatic table generation. AI Insights builds on this functionality, allowing users to generate summaries, such as legal conclusions, facts, and issue-rule-analysis-conclusion (IRAC) highlights, with just a case citation and a few clicks. This integration aims to streamline the preparation process for oral arguments and create efficient knowledge alerts for practice groups.
The AI Insights tool currently supports Canadian case law, with plans to expand its capabilities to U.S. jurisdictions in the future. CiteRight aims to continue enhancing its AI-driven features, based on ongoing collaborations with customers to address knowledge management challenges in legal workflows.
