CoCounsel is an A.I. software platform that leverages exponential advancements in large language models to perform a wide range of tasks for litigators. Because CoCounsel has the ability to quickly understand and synthesize vast quantities of data, attorneys can use this software platform to dramatically expedite document review, legal research, and a number of other common litigation tasks.
AI-Assisted Research
Enter a legal research question, and CoCounsel will prepare a memo answering your question. CoCounsel will convert your legal research question into multiple searches that it runs simultaneously through the primary law, looking for cases, statutes, regulations, rules, secondary materials, practical guidance, and news relevant to your issue. CoCounsel will then read the authorities returned by these searches and explain its findings in a memo format. This memo confirms the question and includes a response where CoCounsel will directly answer your question. The memo also includes a short summary of each authority that CoCounsel has identified as relevant to your question, along with pertinent quotes from each authority and hyperlinks to the full text of each authority. You can use this skill to conduct legal research in minutes, instead of hours.
