Bringing efficiency to brief writing
THE COMPOSE WORKFLOW
A better way to write briefs
Select your motion
Compose works for a wide range of motions in state and federal court. For a complete list of available motions, or to discuss custom motions for your legal team, contact our product experts.
Add arguments with a click
No more endless searching across disparate sources hoping to find an applicable argument. Compose’s Argument List gives you an organized menu of the arguments available in your jurisdiction.
Legal standards — with supporting case law — at your fingertips
Support your arguments with legal standards and cases from your jurisdiction. Want guidance on the best to use? Compose provides succinct editorial notes to help you make an informed decision.
Your draft (and authorities) customized to your facts
Apply the legal standard to your facts, and use Casetext’s Parallel Search to effortlessly find supporting precedent. Parallel Search’s A.I. — applying the latest in machine learning technology — finds holdings and cases that conceptually match your argument, even if the court uses entirely different language.
Make it your own
Compose has helped you assemble a well-supported argument, but the draft still needs your skill and expertise before it’s finished. Customize your draft with your insights and voice, just as a partner would do with a draft from a junior associate. When you’re ready, download your draft to Microsoft Word and get ready to file.
