Going to court without a lawyer? Build your filing on real law.

The software prepares court documents at your direction, using the court's own rules and verified public law. You choose what to file and what to ask for; you review, sign and file it yourself. We don't appear in court for you, and we can't tell you what you should do in your case. If you need legal advice, contact a licensed attorney or your local legal-aid organization.

Legal Ops Depot is not a law firm. We do not give legal advice. Using this service does not make us your lawyer, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship. You can read our full disclosures.

• The software prepares the papers you choose. You tell it what you want to file and what you want to ask the court for, and it prepares them.

• It follows the court's own rules. Courts have written rules about how papers must look and what must come with them. The software gets the official text of those rules for your court and your kind of filing, and checks the papers against them. See how the court's rules are checked.

• It checks every case citation. If a case is cited in your papers, it has been pulled from the real court opinion, read in full, and checked. A case citation that has not been checked cannot go into your papers. See how case citations are checked.

• It helps you keep track of deadlines. Missing a deadline can end a case. The software works out deadlines from the papers you get and the court's rules, and by default a second computation checks each one. See how deadlines are worked out.

• It reads everything you send. Every page of every paper you give it is read, including any forms attached to them. If a paper came with a form you need to fill out, it lists it for you.

• A civil complaint, including a civil-rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 or another civil complaint.
• A petition, from a post-conviction petition to a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court.
• A motion, such as a motion to dismiss or a response to one.
• An appeal brief.

You choose which one. The software doesn't tell you what to file.

• You decide. You choose what to file, what to ask for, and whether to file at all.
• You review. You read the papers before anything happens with them. If something is wrong or missing, you send them back for changes.
• You sign. Your name goes on the papers, so you sign them.
• You file. You file the papers with the court yourself, the way the court requires.
• You go to court. If there is a hearing, you go. We do not appear for you.

• We are not a law firm, and we can't give you legal advice.
• We don't decide what you should file or what you should ask for. You do.
• We don't tell you whether you will win. No one can promise that.
• We don't go to court for you or speak to the court for you.
• We don't sign or file your papers. You do.

We do not promise any result. What happens depends on the facts, the law and the court.

Courts turn away papers for small things: a missing part, the wrong format, a missed date. Every court has written rules about this, and they are different from court to court. The software starts with your court's own rule book, not a guess, and checks your papers against it before you get them.

1. You tell it what you need. You upload the papers you have and say what you want to file.
2. It reads everything. Every page is read and written out in full. Any deadline in your papers is worked out, and then, by default, checked a second time.
3. It gets the court's rules. It gets the official rules for your court and the kind of paper you chose.
4. You confirm the plan. Before the software prepares anything, you confirm the paper you chose and what you want to ask for.
5. The software prepares the papers. The papers are prepared to the court's rules. Every case citation is checked against the real opinion.
6. It checks the papers again. The papers are checked for missing pieces, blank spaces, wrong dates and names, and the most common reasons a clerk sends papers back: the caption, the deadline, the number of copies, the fees and the format.
7. You review, sign and file. You read the papers, send them back for changes if you need to, sign them and file them yourself.

You can read what the checkpoints are in the full process.

By default, two AI models from two different companies check the work. One prepares it. The other reads your papers on its own and looks for mistakes, like a second set of eyes. If the two disagree about something, like a date, they have to settle it from the court's rules and your papers, not by guessing. If they still disagree, both answers and the evidence come to you to decide.

The two models are currently Claude, from Anthropic, and Grok, from xAI. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC. Grok is a trademark of xAI Corp. Other names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to describe the technology in our process. Legal Ops Depot is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Anthropic or xAI.

If you miss a court deadline, you can lose your case even if you are right. That is why every deadline is worked out from your papers and the court's rules, then, by default, worked out again. If a date could be read two ways, the software uses the earlier date. When the court has said something will happen but has not given a date, it sets a reminder to check again.

The software works with both state and federal courts. It builds your papers to the written rules of the court you name.
