Case Strategy
Case Strategy takes a description of your matter and the side you act for, and returns one report: the grounds you can run, the arguments coming at you with a rebuttal for each, the provisions and evidence the case rests on, and the authorities behind all of it checked against the public case-law record.
The hero on the Case Strategy home reads What case strategy shall we build today? with the line Grounds in your favour, the arguments coming at you, and verified authorities.
- Input: a description of the matter, plus the side you act for. Case files are optional, up to 50 files per run.
- Ways to start: Ask Judicio, Smart Suggestions, or Templates.
- Output: a report in four reading tabs, a triage rail of numbered grounds, and a sources list with a verification badge on every authority.
- Modes: standard, or Deep Mode for a heavier pass.
- After the report: test a scenario, argue it in a moot court, export it, or hand a section to Drafting.
When to reach for it
Use Case Strategy when the question is how do we run this, and where will it be attacked. It suits framing an appeal, deciding which grounds to lead with, preparing for a hearing where you expect to be pressed, or stress-testing a position before you commit to it in a pleading.
It is the wrong tool when you want a researched answer to a legal question, a clause-by-clause read of a contract, or a document written for you. Those are Legal Research, Document Review and Drafting.
Files are optional here, unlike most of Judicio. Three of the four research angles work from live case-law sources, so a run with no documents still produces a full report. Attaching case files adds the document-grounded angle, and the home says so plainly: No case files attached. The strategy will rely on your description; attach files for document-grounded analysis.
How a run works
- Add case files, or don't. The band on the home reads Strategy runs on your description with the note Attach case files for document-grounded analysis. Choose files and Upload both open the shared Files panel.
- Set the side. The Settings chip on the composer opens a band holding Capacity and Acting for. A run cannot start without a side.
- Describe the matter and press Generate strategy.
- Authorise the spend. A card headed Ready to build the strategy replaces the composer with the credits, the typical duration and the file count. Build the strategy starts the run.
- Answer anything Judicio asks. Some runs open with clarifying questions in the right-hand rail before the writing starts.
- Read the report. Four tabs on the left, the grounds rail on the right.
- Work the grounds. Keep, flag or drop each one, then act on the ones you keep.
What the report contains
| Part | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Assessment | A one-line headline for the case as a whole, the overall assessment, what is strong, where you are exposed, and the order to run the grounds in |
| Grounds | Numbered arguments for your side, each with a Strong, Moderate or Weak rating and the authorities it relies on |
| Opposition | The arguments the other side is expected to make, each rated High risk, Medium risk or Low risk, each with your rebuttal |
| Court prep | Speaking notes, cross-examination questions, and the questions the bench is likely to ask |
| Law and evidence | The provisions engaged, the full authority list, and the evidence gaps that still need curing |
| Authorities | Case name, citation, court, year, pinpoint paragraph, holding, a stance badge and a verification badge |

What you are charged for
A strategy report is a flat charge, not a per-page one, so the length of the matter and the number of files do not move the price. Deep Mode costs more than a standard run. A scenario and a moot session are each charged once, at the moment they start. Reading, filtering, triaging grounds, asking the Assistant and exporting are all free. See Credits explained.
Deep Mode is a plan entitlement. On the Starter plan the toggle is visible but disabled, with an Upgrade link beside it.
