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

1. Open Drafting and choose how to start — Ask Judicio with a brief, let Smart Suggestions propose documents from your files, or pick a Template.
2. Set the scope with the discrete chips — Jurisdiction, Tone, Language, and response Length — then click Start drafting.
3. Judicio drafts the document, structuring the clauses and grounding them in your files and the law.
4. Review the draft in the editor, switching between Redline, Clean, and Original views, with the cited authorities in the Sources tab.
5. Ask the assistant to revise any clause — the change arrives as a tracked edit you accept or reject, per change or all at once.
6. 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 billed per run, based on the brief, any attached files, page count, and mode (Deep vs Concise). Editing in the assistant and exporting are free. See Credits Explained for the formula.

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

Start from a precedent

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.
