Capabilities
What an AI paralegal handles
Verified legal research
Ask a question and get an answer grounded in case law, statutes, regulations, and court rules — each point linked to the primary source so you can confirm it before you rely on it.
Drafting in Word and Google Docs
Draft memos, letters, and clauses directly in Word or Google Docs, with language anchored to verified legal text instead of generic phrasing.
File upload and analysis
Upload contracts, filings, and case files, then ask questions across them. OpenCase reads the documents and answers with references you can trace.
File comparison
Compare two documents side by side to surface changed terms, missing clauses, and inconsistencies without a line-by-line manual pass.
Summarizing long records
Condense lengthy briefs, opinions, and discovery documents into clear summaries that keep the citations attached to each point.
Organizing your files
Keep uploaded sources in folders you control, so research and drafts draw on the documents that matter to each matter.
Outcomes
What a citation-backed assistant changes
The mechanism behind every outcome is the same: work you can trace back to primary law.
Less time on manual research
Surfacing relevant authority takes minutes instead of an afternoon, so attorneys and paralegals spend their hours on judgment rather than scanning.
Fewer missed authorities
Consistent, citation-backed answers catch statutes and cases that a tired manual pass tends to let slip.
Verifiable by default
Every answer carries a source you can open, so the documentation you need to stand behind the work already exists.
Consistent output at any volume
Whether it is one memo or a stack of files, the same rigor and the same verifiable sources apply to each.
Use cases
How legal teams use it day to day
Litigation support
Summarize case files, pull relevant precedent, and prepare for hearings without drowning in manual review of document-heavy matters.
Transactional work
Draft and review agreements, then compare versions to spot non-standard clauses before a deal stalls.
In-house legal teams
Answer routine research questions and review incoming documents in-house, with citations that make the analysis easy to check.
Solo and small firms
Get the research and drafting support of a larger team, so a lean practice can take on more matters without adding headcount.

Common questions about an AI paralegal
Will an AI paralegal replace paralegals and junior attorneys?
No. OpenCase assists legal professionals rather than replacing them. It handles the manual research and drafting so your team spends more time on analysis and client work, with people keeping judgment and final review.
How does it stay accurate?
Every answer links back to a primary legal source — case law, statutes, regulations, or court rules — that you can open and confirm. Unlike generic tools that answer without showing their work, OpenCase lets you verify each point before relying on it.
What can it help with?
Verified legal research, document drafting in Word and Google Docs, uploading and analyzing files, comparing documents, and summarizing long records. It is built for the research and drafting work that fills a paralegal’s day.
What happens to my confidential client data?
Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest, kept isolated to your organization, and never used to train AI models or shared with other users.
Can I use it with the tools I already have?
Yes. OpenCase works inside Word, Outlook, and Google Docs, and connects with Google Drive, Dropbox, and Clio so research and drafts fit into your existing workflow.
What kinds of files can it read?
Upload contracts, filings, and case files as PDFs, Word documents, or scanned images. OpenCase reads them and answers questions across the set with references you can trace.
Do I still need to review the work?
Yes. OpenCase is an assistant, not a substitute for a lawyer. Because every answer carries a verifiable citation, you can confirm the analysis and apply your own judgment before it goes out.
