Legal Research & Brief Drafting for Criminal Defense Attorneys with Westlaw
The Problem
Associates lose entire days in MyCase hunting for Criminal Defense case law that supports a narrow argument — and the final brief is still 70% boilerplate.
What We Build in Westlaw
AI drafts the research memo against the firm's prior work product, pulls current authority from MyCase, and produces a cite-checked first draft of the brief — associate refines, doesn't start from zero. Purpose-built for teams running Westlaw — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
Westlaw Integration Approach

Build on the Westlaw API or agent
Integration happens inside Westlaw — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Westlaw with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
