Trellis AI is a new legal productivity platform that leverages the largest repository of state court docket data to help litigators evaluate cases, automate brief drafting, suggest winning strategies, and more. Read our new TechnoLawyer Buyer's Guide report below.
The Killer Feature
Most litigation occurs in state courts and involves clients with limited budgets. This can make motion practice challenging given how much time it takes to draft a brief. Trellis AI, a new service from state court docket platform Trellis, automates this process with its Draft Arguments feature.
Draft Arguments uses similar and successful motions in the Trellis database to generate arguments and citations for your motions seeking dismissal, summary judgment, etc. With this framework as a starting point, you can spend your time honing arguments in your brief rather than on formatting citations and other drafting drudgery.
Trellis AI includes safeguards to reduce the risk of error and bias in the briefs it generates. For example, you can verify citations and read the filings from which suggested arguments derive.
Other Notable Features
Trellis AI offers several additional tools that leverage the state court data in the Trellis platform:
Case Assessment — Predict the likely outcomes of a case at any stage to help you decide to accept it, guide motion practice, make settlement offers, and prepare for trial.
Defenses — Analyze a complaint to obtain recommended defenses based on the allegations and causes of action.
Analyze Argument — Pinpoint the key arguments and evidence within opposing counsel's brief to help you draft a reply and prepare for a hearing.
Key Witnesses — Identify the people involved in the case and their roles to inform decisions about document requests, interrogatories, and depositions.
Timeline — Automate the creation of a chronology listing key dates, events, and relationships to provide an accurate snapshot of a case.
Trellis AI encrypts the documents you upload using current SOC 2 standards. No one at Trellis can read these materials, ensuring compliance with state ethics requirements for safeguarding client data.
The Draft Arguments feature in Trellis AI draws on state court data and the docket in your case to draft arguments and citations for use in summary judgment and other motions.
