AI Brief Analysis reviews the text of your motion papers and flags issues that commonly affect outcomes before California superior court judges. It is available from any hearing detail page or from the AI Tools menu on a judge profile.
How to submit your brief. Open a hearing, click AI Brief Analysis, and paste or upload your moving papers, opposition, or reply brief. PDFs and plain text are both accepted. The brief text is processed for the session and is not retained after your session ends.
What the analysis checks. The analysis runs six types of checks: (1) Procedural compliance — common CCP and local rule requirements including proper notice periods, separate statement format for discovery motions, IDC certification where required, and correct proof of service format. (2) Citation integrity — the AI flags citations that appear malformed, reference sections that do not exist in the cited code, or cite cases that have been distinguished or overruled by major decisions in CaliforniaCourtIntel's legal database. (3) Argument structure — the AI evaluates whether each argument is properly introduced, supported with authority, and applied to the facts. Arguments missing one of these components are flagged. (4) Judge-specific preferences — the AI cross-references the assigned judge's known preferences (brief length, preferred formatting, stance on general vs. specific fact citations) and flags any departures from those preferences. (5) Risk flag matches — if your brief contains argument types or phrasing patterns that appear in CaliforniaCourtIntel's risk flag database for this judge, they are highlighted. (6) Local rule compliance — page limits, font requirements, exhibit formatting, and tab requirements specific to the court and department.
What the analysis does not do. The analysis does not evaluate the legal correctness of your arguments or the persuasiveness of your overall case theory. It is a structural and stylistic review tool, not a legal opinion. Always have a licensed California attorney review your briefs before filing.
