BriefCatch

BriefCatch is a legal-writing and editing platform built for lawyers, judges, and other legal professionals, combining rule-based writing analysis with AI-assisted citation verification.

Key features and functions include:

Real-Time Legal Writing Suggestions
BriefCatch reviews legal documents directly within Microsoft Word and provides in-context edits aimed at improving clarity, concision, and tone. Suggestions can be reviewed and accepted or rejected individually or in bulk.

Writing Analytics and Scoring
The platform scores drafts across several dimensions of legal writing (including concision, flow, and clarity) and produces a narrative report describing the strengths and weaknesses of the writing.

RealityCheck Citation Verification
RealityCheck checks case and statute citations against legal databases and evaluates whether quoted language and cited authorities actually support the propositions for which they are cited. It is designed to flag fabricated citations, misstated holdings, and unsupported or hallucinated assertions, and directs users to manually verify any citation it cannot confirm.

Outlook Integration (Enterprise and Pro plans)
BriefCatch extends its editing suggestions into Microsoft Outlook for Enterprise and Pro subscribers, applying the same suggestion engine to email drafting.

Online Learning Hub
The platform includes a self-paced legal-writing curriculum developed by founder Ross Guberman, delivered through an integrated online learning environment.
