How it works
Court Clerk keeps your case under control
You handle the strategy. Court Clerk handles the paperwork, guidance, and reminders.
Upload your evidence like a paralegal
Drop in court orders, texts, CPS reports, school records. Court Clerk auto-groups by type so you can search “parenting plan violations” instantly.
Build motions with attorney-grade citations
Choose the issue, pick the documents, and generate a draft that references your exhibits: “See Exhibit B, text dated 3/15/24.” No generic templates.
Ask case-specific questions any time
“What are grounds for contempt in my state?” “How do I prove alienation?” Answers stay grounded in the evidence you uploaded.
Never miss a deadline or hearing
Court dates, responses, supervised visits — all synced to your dashboard with reminders before you walk into court.
Hand a clean file to a judge or attorney
Timeline, motions, exhibits, notes — everything exportable in minutes if you hire counsel later or need to prove diligence.

No made-up citations. Ever.
Generic AI tools hallucinate case law. Court Clerk doesn’t. Every citation in your motion is cross-checked against the evidence you uploaded.
✅ Exhibit-based citations
“See Exhibit B, text dated 3/15/24” links directly to your uploaded screenshot.
✅ Transcript references
“Deposition, pg. 47” opens the transcript you provided — not a made-up quote.
✅ Judge-friendly formatting
Motions export with numbered exhibits and clean headings ready for filing.
❌ No fake case law
Court Clerk never invents Smith v. Jones (2019). If you didn’t upload it, we don’t cite it.
❌ No hallucinated evidence
Citations only reference documents in your workspace. You control the facts.
You control the evidence. AI organizes and cites it.

Track what the judge in your county cares about — formatting quirks, word counts, and expectations gathered from public records and your own notes.
- • Record personal notes after each hearing so you never forget what was emphasized.
- • Surface common rulings in your county before you draft.
- • File smarter by matching their expectations the first time.
Timeline & audit trail
Every upload, deadline, filing, and AI question is logged automatically. Walk into court with a provable record of your diligence.
- • Prove patterns: “He violated parenting time 12 times — here’s the log.”
- • Export the timeline when you hire counsel so they onboard in minutes.
- • Protect yourself if anyone claims you failed to document.

Court Clerk or an attorney?
We’re honest about when you still need legal counsel — and we make it easy to hand them an organized case file if you do.
Use Court Clerk when you need to:
- ✔Draft motions, contempt filings, and modifications with real citations
- ✔Organize evidence like a paralegal — searchable, grouped, and exportable
- ✔Mock trial prompts so you can practice likely judge questions
- ✔Share a clean binder if you hire an attorney later
Consider hiring an attorney when:
- ⚠Serious abuse allegations or criminal charges tied to custody
- ⚠Opposing counsel is filing complex motions you don’t understand
- ⚠You have the budget and prefer someone to appear on your behalf
- ⚠You’re uncomfortable questioning witnesses or cross-examining
Already hired counsel? Export your entire, organized file so they can ramp faster (and bill fewer hours).
