Drafting FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about Drafting.

General​

What can I draft with Drafting?​

A wide range of legal documents — NDAs, employment and lease agreements, sale deeds and powers of attorney; legal notices, replies, and demand letters; legal opinions, memos, and briefs; and litigation documents such as petitions, writ petitions, bail applications, and affidavits. See the overview for the full list.

How accurate is the draft?​

Drafting produces a well-structured, grounded first draft — clauses, defined terms, and the law cited behind them. But you remain the drafter: review every clause, verify each cited authority (they're all linked), and accept each AI revision deliberately. Drafting accelerates the work; it doesn't replace your judgment.

Do I have to attach files?​

No — you can draft from a plain-language brief alone. But attaching a precedent or reference document gives Judicio more to anchor on: it mirrors the structure and defined terms of your precedent, which usually produces a better first draft.

Inputs and setup​

What are the three ways to start?​

  • Ask Judicio — describe the document you need in plain language and Judicio drafts it.
  • Smart Suggestions — Judicio recommends documents to draft based on your selected files.
  • Templates — start from a pre-built drafting template (yours, shared, or Judicio's).

What do the chips do?​

The discrete chips below the composer set the scope of the draft:

  • Jurisdiction — the law the document is drafted under.
  • Tone — how the document reads (formal, firm, persuasive, advisory, plain-language).
  • Language — the output language.
  • Length — how full the draft is.

What's the difference between Deep and Concise mode?​

Deep Mode runs a more thorough, better-grounded pass — best for substantial documents. Concise (Deep Mode off) is faster and well suited to a quick first draft you'll refine with the assistant. You can switch on a per-run basis.

Tracked changes and editing​

How do tracked changes work?​

When the AI assistant revises the draft, the change appears inline: removed text struck through in red, added text shown in green. Each change is yours to Accept (apply it), Reject (discard it), or Edit… (tweak the proposed wording before applying). Use Accept all / Reject all when several land at once, and Undo / Redo to revisit a decision.

Can I accept or reject the changes later, in Word?​

Yes. Export the Tracked changes (.docx) format and the draft downloads as a Word redline with real insertions and deletions — so anyone can accept or reject each edit directly in Word. This is the recommended export while a draft still has pending changes.

What do the three views show?​

The view-mode control reskins the same document without changing it: Redline shows the tracked changes, Clean shows every change applied, and Original shows the document before any AI edits. The Draft and Final copy lens tabs sit alongside — Draft is your working copy, Final copy is what you export.

Citations​

Where do the cited authorities come from?​

The Sources tab lists every authority the draft consulted — statutes, case law, web sources, and your own uploaded documents — each with a relevance bar, an excerpt, and a link to the source. Where an authority backs a specific clause, a Supports § chip jumps the editor straight to that clause.

Can I change the governing law on a follow-up?​

Yes — a follow-up revision can carry its own jurisdiction (and tone), so you can, for example, add or rework a clause under a different governing law without changing the rest of the draft. When you don't set them, the assistant inherits the draft's defaults.

Credits​

How is Drafting billed?​

Drafting is billed per run, based on your brief, any attached files, the page count, and the mode (Deep vs Concise). Editing in the assistant and exporting are free — refine and download as much as you like once the draft is generated. See Credits Explained.

Templates​

Can I save a draft as a template?​

Yes — save your draft (and its structure) as a drafting template so your next document of the same type reuses it in one click. Templates can be kept private, shared with your team, or drawn from Judicio's library.

Troubleshooting​

The draft is missing a clause I expected.​

Ask the assistant to add it — for example, "Add a clause requiring the return or destruction of Confidential Information on termination." It arrives as a tracked addition you can accept.

The tone isn't right.​

Adjust the Tone chip and regenerate, or ask the assistant to "make this firmer" / "make it plainer" on the clause that's off.

I want to start over.​

Regenerate from the home screen with a refined brief, or attach a closer precedent so Judicio has a better anchor. Your previous runs stay in your history.
