Drafting
Generate a polished legal document from a brief, your own files, or a template — then refine it clause by clause with an AI assistant whose every revision arrives as a tracked change you can accept or reject, each grounded in cited authority.
- What: Generate polished legal documents from a brief, your files, or a template
- Input: A plain-language brief, selected documents from your File Library, or a drafting template
- Output: An editable draft you revise with AI — revisions land as tracked changes — plus the cited authorities behind it
- Modes: Deep (thorough) · Concise (fast)
- Export: Word — Final copy or Tracked-changes redline — or a clean PDF
Why use Drafting
Drafting from a blank page is slow, and the first draft is rarely the hard part — getting the clauses right, in the right tone, grounded in the right law, is. Pasting an AI draft into a Word document then loses the trail of what changed and why.
Drafting solves this by:
- Starting from anything — describe the document in plain language, point at a precedent in your files, or pick a template
- Producing a real, structured document — headings, numbered clauses, defined terms — not a wall of text
- Revising as tracked changes — every AI edit shows the exact insertion and deletion, so you accept or reject each one
- Citing the law — the authorities behind the draft sit in a Sources tab, each linked to the clause it supports
- Staying in one place — the editor is the preview; export the final copy, a Word redline, or a clean PDF when you're done
How it works
- Open Drafting and choose how to start — Ask Judicio with a brief, let Smart Suggestions propose documents from your files, or pick a Template.
- Set the scope with the discrete chips — Jurisdiction, Tone, Language, and response Length — then click Start drafting.
- Judicio drafts the document, structuring the clauses and grounding them in your files and the law.
- Review the draft in the editor, switching between Redline, Clean, and Original views, with the cited authorities in the Sources tab.
- Ask the assistant to revise any clause — the change arrives as a tracked edit you accept or reject, per change or all at once.
- Export the final copy or a tracked-changes redline as Word, or a clean PDF — or save your draft to Judicio.
Credit Cost
Drafting is flat-priced per run — 10 credits (Concise) or 25 (Deep Mode) — and AI follow-up refinements cost half (5 / 10). Manual editing and exporting are free. See Credits Explained for the full price list.
What you can draft
Drafting handles a wide range of document types, including:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Agreements | NDAs, employment agreements, lease agreements, sale deeds |
| Notices & letters | Legal notices, replies to legal notices, demand letters |
| Advisory | Legal opinions, memos, legal briefs |
| Litigation | Petitions, writ petitions, bail applications, affidavits |
| Authority instruments | Powers of attorney |
Drafting is strongest when it has something to anchor on. Attach a precedent document from your File Library and Judicio mirrors its structure and defined terms — then you refine from there. See Getting Started.
Working with your team
On the Organisation plan, a drafting session can be shared with specific colleagues — editors can revise the draft and continue the conversation, viewers can read and export. Edit locks keep two people from overwriting each other ("[name] is editing"), and every change carries its author. Drafts are private to you until you share them; hand the whole session over with a transfer of ownership. See Collaboration & Sharing.
