BriefCatch on Tech Thursday – Expert Legal Editing

Ross Guberman, esteemed writing expert and Founder of BriefCatch, presents.

Ross’s Journey From Teaching to Developing Legal Tech

In this session, Ross discussed his transition from teaching legal writing to developing legal tech around 2017. He introduced the first version of his product, Briefcase, in 2018, aiming to automate legal editing and improve the quality of legal documents. Ross emphasized the importance of continuous learning and provided examples of how his tool uses actual work products from lawyers and judges to improve its performance. He stressed that the tool is designed to refine a user’s voice rather than replace it. Ross also demonstrated how the tool works, highlighting its ability to quickly scan and improve documents, and its user-friendly interface that gives users control over the editing process.

AI-Assisted Document Editing for Lawyers’ Morale Boost

Ross highlighted the benefits of using a product in high-stakes situations that aid lawyers, particularly in editing and sorting documents, saving time that can be used for strategy and substance. He discussed the concerns of professionals about job retention, morale, and fairness, often tied to writing skills. Ross mentioned an AI product that compares documents to the work of top lawyers and judges, providing objective metrics for improvement and morale boosts. He also touched upon a reporting feature that identifies patterns in writing for improvement, a feature appreciated by both supervised individuals and their supervisors.
