FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a skeleton argument in OSCOLA format?

A skeleton argument requires OSCOLA-aligned structure and case theory consistency. You specify the section, provide the matter record and authorities, and the drafter generates text with inline markers flagging any unverified facts or missing citations.

How do I verify citations and facts in written submissions before filing?

Citation verification in written submissions is handled using inline VERIFY, UNCERTAIN, and CITE NEEDED markers. These notes flag every place a fact or citation requires confirmation, ensuring record-fidelity before you file the document with the court.

Can I use this drafter for a statement of facts and written submissions?

Yes, the drafter supports section-specific workflows for statements of facts, written submissions, skeleton arguments, and pleading-focused sections. It ensures each drafted section supports your configured case theory without introducing contradictions.

What happens if I try drafting submissions without intaking the matter?

Drafting submissions without a properly intaken matter triggers guardrails that block substantive drafting. The system halts text generation to prevent producing unverified arguments, ensuring outputs are grounded in an intaken case record.

How do I ensure my litigation drafting stays consistent with case theory?

Litigation drafting stays consistent with case theory through theory-consistent argument development. The drafter ensures each section supports the configured case theory and halts generation immediately if any content contradicts the established theory.
