## The Problem

Associates lose entire days in Best Case hunting for Consumer Bankruptcy case law that supports a narrow argument — and the final brief is still 70% boilerplate.

## What We Build in PACER

AI drafts the research memo against the firm's prior work product, pulls current authority from Best Case, and produces a cite-checked first draft of the brief — associate refines, doesn't start from zero. Purpose-built for teams running PACER — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## PACER Integration Approach

1. **Audit your PACER configuration.** We map the specific PACER objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your consumer bankruptcy practice.
2. **Build on the PACER API or agent.** Integration happens inside PACER — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in PACER with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
