Capabilities
What OpenCase does for family law work
Verified legal research
Research custody, support, and property questions across case law, statutes, and family-law rules, with every citation linked to the primary source so you can validate it before you rely on it.
Jurisdiction-aware answers
Ask in plain language and get research scoped to the jurisdiction you name, so the precedent and statutes returned fit the court your matter is in.
File upload and analysis
Upload pleadings, agreements, and discovery files and get analysis that surfaces key provisions, obligations, and relevant law — each finding traceable to its source.
File comparison
Compare drafts of a settlement agreement or parenting plan side by side to surface changes, inconsistencies, and missing language across versions.
Drafting in Word and Google Docs
Draft agreements, motions, and client letters where you already work, with reasoning anchored to verified legal text instead of generic phrasing.
Matter organization
Keep research, uploaded files, and drafts organized by matter, so the work on each case stays in one place you can find later.
Outcomes
What citation-backed research changes
The mechanism behind every outcome is the same: research you can trace to primary law.
Less time validating sources
Because every citation links to the primary source, you spend time on strategy instead of re-checking whether a case is real and still good law.
Citations you can check
Verified cases link to the primary source, so you can open and read them before they go into a filing.
Faster client responses
Research, analysis, and drafting in one place shorten the path from a client question to an answer you can stand behind.
Consistent quality at any volume
Whether it is one matter or a full caseload, the same rigor and the same verifiable sources apply to each.
Where it fits
How family lawyers use OpenCase

Support and maintenance

Common questions about AI for family lawyers
How accurate are the legal citations?
Every result links back to a primary legal source — case law, statutes, or court rules — that you can open and validate, rather than a summary with no way to check it. The platform assists your work, so you confirm each source as part of your own due diligence before relying on it.
Does it understand family law specifically?
You can research custody, support, property division, and modification questions in plain language, and scope the research to the jurisdiction you name so the statutes and precedent returned fit your court.
Can I draft documents in the tools I already use?
Yes. OpenCase works with Word, Outlook, Google Docs, Google Drive, Dropbox, and Clio, so you can draft agreements, motions, and letters where your team already works.
What kinds of files can I upload and analyze?
You can upload pleadings, agreements, and discovery files for analysis that highlights key provisions, obligations, and relevant law. File analysis works with PDFs, Word documents, and scanned images, and file comparison surfaces changes across versions.
Is my client data kept confidential?
Your files and research are encrypted in transit and at rest with access controls, and are never used to train AI models or shared with other organizations. OpenCase maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance and ISO/IEC 27001 certification.
