Pre-Filing Review for AI-Assisted Legal Work

Independent human review of AI-assisted legal work — before you file.

AI drafting tools move fast. Courts do not forgive citation errors. Brightline checks the work before it leaves your office, so a fabricated authority never reaches a judge’s desk.

What We Catch
Smith v. Jorgensen, 884 F.3d 221 (9th Cir. 2019) — no such case exists in the reporter cited.
Flagged: fabricated authority, removed before filing.
One of the seven checks in every Brightline review.
A narrow job, done well
Brightline is not a legal opinion and not a substitute for attorney judgment. It is a second set of eyes, focused entirely on catching what AI drafting tools get wrong.

What We Review

  • AI-generated case citations
  • Quoted case language, checked against source
  • Statutory and regulatory citations
  • Internal consistency across the document
  • Factual accuracy of represented facts
  • Hallucinated or non-existent authorities
  • Unsupported legal statements

What We Don’t Do

  • Give legal advice
  • Represent clients or appear before any court
  • Replace attorney judgment or sign-off
  • Draft, strategize, or edit substantive argument

One product. Done right.
No tiers to compare, no menu to read. A single, focused review built for one purpose.

Most firms start with a single review. Firms filing regularly move to a monthly arrangement after their first one — ask us about it.


Built for firms who feel this risk directly
Brightline is sized for the firms most exposed to AI drafting risk and least able to absorb a sanctions motion or a malpractice claim over it.
