Court Simulation
Court Simulation lets you test legal strategies and arguments in a realistic courtroom scenario before going to trial. The feature simulates the roles of claimant, defendant, and judge using your case evidence and legal precedents to show how your case might unfold.
Before you begin: Create a case and upload your case documents and relevant legal materials to get accurate simulation results.
Starting a Court Simulation
From your cases dashboard, click on the case you want to simulate.
In the case workspace, open the hamburger menu on the left, and choose Simulate,
How the Simulation Works
The simulation runs in turns, alternating between claimant arguments, defendant responses, and judicial decisions. Each turn builds on previous arguments using your uploaded evidence and applicable case law.
As the simulation progresses, you'll see the full exchange between parties. The system shows each participant's position and how the judge responds to the arguments presented.
Reviewing the Final Ruling
When the simulation completes, the judge delivers a final ruling that summarizes the outcome based on all arguments and evidence presented. This ruling includes the reasoning behind the decision.
Using Simulation Results
Review the complete simulation to identify strengths and weaknesses in your case strategy. Use the insights to:
Spot weaknesses in your arguments before trial
Understand how judges might respond to different legal theories
Test alternative case strategies
Prepare more effectively for actual litigation
Run multiple simulations with different arguments or evidence to explore various strategies and find the strongest approach for your case.
