Before you start
Steps
- Search your legal issue on Cases or Advanced Search.
- Open AI Studio on the top 3–5 SERP results.
- Compare Case Summary and Ratio Decidendi across briefs.
- Verify winning authorities in the full judgment text.
- Save to Favorites and add Notes for hearing prep.
Workflow 1: Hearing prep on leading cases
- Search your legal issue on Cases or Advanced Search.
- Open AI Studio on the top 3–5 results from the SERP.
- Read each Case Summary and Ratio Decidendi - skip cases that are off point.
- Expand Key Issues, Favor Of, and Judgment on cases you keep.
- Ask Ask the judgment: "What was the final order?" and "On which grounds?"
- Open Read full judgment for cases you will cite - note paragraph numbers.
- Save winners to Favorites and add Notes with client-specific angles.
Workflow 2: Drafting a memo or written submission
- Identify statutory hooks in Bare Acts - list judgments citing the section.
- For each key authority, run AI Studio and expand Facts of the Case, Key Issues, and Acts Referred when the ratio is relevant.
- Check Cases Referred To and Legal Implications for citation chains and precedent value.
- Use chat: "How did the court apply Section X?" - verify quoted sections in full text.
- Draft your memo citing the judgment, not the AI summary.
- Tag all authorities under the matter name.
Workflow 3: Quick client update
- Open the judgment your client asked about.
- Run AI Studio - read Case Summary, Judgment, and Favor Of.
- Use chat: "What relief was granted to the petitioner?"
- Explain outcomes in plain language to the client, referencing the court's actual order after you verify it.
Workflow 4: Law student / moot research
- Use Citation Search or keyword search to find the core case.
- AI Studio's 18-section AI Brief replaces hours of first-pass reading for orientation - focus on Facts, Key Issues, Ratio Decidendi, and Conclusion.
- Follow citations from the full judgment to build the moot memorial - AI Studio does not replace line-by-line analysis for submissions.
What you'll see
Faster shortlisting of authorities, clearer sense of ratio and legal implications before deep reading, and case-specific answers without copying prompts to external tools.
Common mistakes
- Citing the AI Brief in court - always cite the reported judgment.
- Skipping Supreme Court judgments because the brief is long - filter by court first, then expand only the sections you need.
- Using AI Studio instead of Advanced Search to find cases - AI Studio analyzes one open judgment; search finds them.
