Give your firm the AI system
BigLaw is building for itself.
Keep drafting in Claude. DocketDrafter gives it your firm’s playbook and produces review-ready Word documents with linked citations, brief tables, and court-specific formatting.
How DocketDrafter works
Your lawyers keep working in Claude. DocketDrafter adds your firm's prior work and formatting, so drafts come out the way your firm files them.
Keep using Claude
Your team keeps working in Claude. DocketDrafter connects it to the firm playbook and document system behind the scenes.
Start from work your firm trusts
Claude can find a relevant prior matter without requiring you to remember the case name, then use a pre-built court template or your firm formatting for the finished document.
Get Word and PDF output
You get a court-formatted DOCX and PDF, ready for attorney review and final filing checks.
Onboarding is done for you. Start with DocketDrafter's pre-built templates, send examples of work your firm already likes, or do both. We configure the initial playbook before your team begins drafting.
See DocketDrafter in action
Watch Claude find relevant prior work, produce a formatted court document, track revisions, and generate a finished Word brief.
Every reviewed draft builds a firm asset.
Start with pre-built court templates and the documents your litigators already trust. Completed work returns to a private, firm-owned playbook, giving the next matter—and the next attorney, paralegal, or contractor—a better starting point.
How setup worksPre-built court templates
Pleadings, briefs, motion papers, captions, signatures, pagination, and jurisdiction-specific document structures.
Your best prior work
Filed briefs, pleadings, letters, demands, and other examples your lawyers already trust.
Your firm preferences
Drafting rules, recurring edits, approved language, citation conventions, and house style.
Every reviewed draft
Completed work returns to the private library so the next matter has a better starting point.
From your research to a linked, finished brief.
Turn firm-supplied authorities into clickable Word citations, a generated table of authorities, and a reusable citation library for future matters.
- Hyperlinked citations
- Generated tables of contents and authorities
- Reviewed authorities saved for reuse
Built-in controls, powered by your playbook.
Court-ready formatting
Captions, numbered paragraphs, signature blocks, verifications, and court-specific rules follow your firm's conventions in the finished Word file, so no one is reformatting by hand.
Linked citations and brief tables
Turn the authorities your lawyers supply into clickable Word citations and generated tables of contents and authorities. Save reviewed sources to the firm playbook for future matters.
Learn about citation workflowsFull version history
Every draft is saved automatically, so you get the complete history of a document and can restore an earlier version at any time. Nothing is overwritten or lost.
Your work product, made reusable
Every draft is captured in a format Claude can quickly read and reuse, so your firm's prior work compounds into a library the AI draws from.
Explore an argument without losing the good draft.
Every meaningful change is saved. Try a different theory, revise the relief, or return to the version from before the detour without managing another set of “final” Word files.

Don't see your court or preferred house style? We can build or adapt the template during onboarding.
The same workflow handles more than pleadings.
Ask Claude for the related documents your matter needs. DocketDrafter supplies the right firm template, facts, and Word rendering behind the scenes.
You control the legal substance.
DocketDrafter never replaces legal judgment. Your lawyers decide what the document says.
- Your lawyers decide the arguments, facts, and filing strategy.
- Your playbook supplies the approved templates, rules, and prior work the AI can reuse.
- DocketDrafter renders the result into a Word file ready for lawyer review.
The playbook belongs to your firm.
Your templates, prior work, drafting guidance, and review history become a reusable firm asset instead of remaining scattered across Word files and personal AI sessions. Your firm owns the playbook content, can export the underlying files, and DocketDrafter does not train models on it.
Frequently asked questions
Claude can draft, but it does not automatically have your firm templates, prior matter history, formatting rules, reusable examples, citation review, version control, or Word rendering. DocketDrafter gives Claude the controlled firm workspace around the model.
Claude output is loose text. DocketDrafter drafts live in a matter workspace with approved templates, reusable snippets, version history, document checks, citation review, and Word rendering.
Your firm does. The playbook is built from your templates, prior work, snippets, drafting rules, approved citations, and review history. DocketDrafter hosts and operationalizes it, but the work product and drafting knowledge remain your firm's asset.
DocketDrafter is designed for attorney-controlled citation review. Citations can be marked, approved, and saved to the firm playbook so future drafts can be checked against authorities the firm has already reviewed. Attorneys remain responsible for legal research, currentness, and final approval.
Explore citation workflowsYes. Each document drafted through DocketDrafter can become part of the firm library, so future matters can start from the closest approved answer, motion, complaint, discovery demand, stipulation, or letter.
Claude Projects and shared folders are good personal starting points. DocketDrafter turns that idea into maintained firm infrastructure: done-for-you setup, shared playbooks, version history, court-specific rendering, reusable templates, and support when the firm wants a formatting rule or drafting preference to persist.
See how DocketDrafter worksDocketDrafter is Claude-first today. The playbook is designed to be model-portable as agent apps mature, but Claude is currently the best-supported working interface.
No. DocketDrafter is not where you chat with AI. It is the controlled matter workspace, playbook, version history, citation review, firm library, and Word output layer that Claude can use while you keep working in the AI environment you already like.
Pre-built court templates, prior filed documents, your Word templates, approved drafting rules, formatting checks, caption conventions, signature blocks, verification language, citation preferences, reusable examples, and review notes.
See how playbook setup worksNo. DocketDrafter can begin with pre-built templates for supported courts and document types. If your firm already has a preferred format, we can adapt the playbook to match your existing work.
Yes. Supported brief templates generate a table of contents from the document headings and a categorized table of authorities from cited cases, statutes, rules, and other authorities. Attorneys remain responsible for reviewing citations and the final document before filing.
See linked citations and brief tablesYes. One of the main benefits is turning one attorney's AI workflow into a shared firm system. Other attorneys and staff can work from the same examples, rules, and review history without becoming prompt engineers.
No. Word remains the review and filing artifact. DocketDrafter helps produce clean Word output from the playbook so the draft follows your firm's formatting and court conventions.
The attorney. DocketDrafter supplies structure, memory, formatting, versioning, citation review, and rendering. Your lawyers decide the facts, arguments, strategy, and final filing content.
Yes. Your firm owns the playbook content: the documents, examples, drafting guidance, formatting rules, and reusable work product. DocketDrafter can provide the underlying files and folders if you leave the platform.
No. DocketDrafter is focused on drafting infrastructure: firm playbooks, prior work, templates, version history, citation review, and Word/PDF output. It can complement practice-management tools, but it does not replace docketing, calendaring, or case management software.
Firm plans start at $500 per month. Done-for-you setup and priority support are included, and the first month has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Your firm brings its own Claude subscription.
Each firm has its own isolated workspace. Data is encrypted at rest, never used to train models by DocketDrafter, and firm work can be deleted within 30 days after leaving the platform.
