Work like an AI-native California litigator.
Without building the system yourself.
Whether you are experimenting with AI or already drafting in it, DocketDrafter gives Claude, ChatGPT, and other supported agents a ready-to-use California litigation workspace. Start with court templates, Judicial Council forms, and Word workflows already in place, then customize the workspace when useful.
From CM-110s
to federal briefs.
Already configured.
Keep drafting in Claude, ChatGPT, or another supported agent. Add your firm's style when you are ready.
Start immediately with our California house formats. You do not need to send us a template to see DocketDrafter work. If you later want the documents to match your firm's existing style, customization is included.
- California federal filings
- Pleading and brief templates for the Northern, Eastern, Central, and Southern Districts.
- California Superior Court
- Civil complaints, answers, motions, and supporting memoranda with California pleading-paper gutter numbers already in place.
- Judicial Council forms
- 28 supported California forms covering case initiation, service, case management, discovery, subpoenas, dismissals, attorney changes, minor compromises, and other recurring civil work.
- Your firm’s letterhead
- Demand letters, client correspondence, and other letters in your preferred format.
- Appellate work
- Brief and motion formats for the California Courts of Appeal, plus petition and filing formats for the California Supreme Court.
Name the form. DocketDrafter fills it out.
Just ask Claude or ChatGPT:
“Use DocketDrafter to fill out the California Judicial Council CM-110 Case Management Statement.”

Pleadings in a California court format
Draft with AI. Review in Word. Keep working.
Draft with AI
Work in Claude or ChatGPT and receive an ordinary Word document and PDF.
Review in Word
Co-counsel, clients, and other reviewers need no DocketDrafter account. They can use Track Changes, leave comments, or edit the text directly.
Bring the review back
A DocketDrafter user returns the reviewed DOCX through Claude or ChatGPT. The workflow compares it with the delivered version, including direct edits made without Track Changes.
Keep working
Review the requested changes, continue from the controlled draft, and receive an updated Word document and redline.
Start where an AI power user eventually gets.
Advanced users spend months assembling Projects, skills, court templates, and Word workflows. Your California workspace begins with the durable parts already in place.
