Litigation software, built on primary law.
Legal Ops Depot builds AI litigation software for people representing themselves and law firms in state and federal courts across the United States. Its engine builds filings to each court's official rules, and its law library, which you and your AI agent can search, holds about 10 million court decisions. Not a law firm. Not legal advice.
- About 10 million

One filing, start to finish.
Every matter moves through the same 15 phases and 94 defined steps. Here is one fictional matter going through all of them: read, researched, attacked, checked and handed back to you to sign and file.
What the film shows, one fictional matter from start to finish:
- Every page is read in full before anything is acted on.
- The deadline comes from the rule's own text. If it reads two ways, the earlier date is used.
- Research starts from the highest authority that binds your court. The library holds about 10 million court decisions and 77.5 million citation links, and 3,400 courts matched to their official court rules, in 57 U.S. jurisdictions.
- The draft is attacked the way the other side would attack it. By default, a second AI model, from a different company, lists the strongest attacks. In this example the draft is sent back once, then passes.
- Each citation is checked on four points. A citation that fails any point is removed. The four points: the case exists, the quote matches word for word, the case says what the brief says, and no later decision found overrules it. In this example one citation fails and is removed.
- After the final read, the packet is checked page by page against the court's own requirements.
- By default, the work stops twice for review, and the whole filing gets a final read before it ships. Checkpoint 1 · The consult: after phase 5. Checkpoint 2 · Strategy sign-off: after phase 8. Checkpoint 3 · Final read: after phase 14.
- You review it, sign it and file it. After filing, the docket is checked again and every open item gets a date. 15 phases, 94 defined steps, 3 checkpoints.

Tell it what you need to file. It builds the papers.
Complaints, petitions, motions, briefs and notices of appeal, drafted by the software at your direction for the court on your caption. You choose what to file. You review it, sign it and file it.
- 01
Pick the paper and the court. The price is on the page before you pay.
- 02
Send your documents. Every page is read in full and checked for deadlines first.
- 03
The engine does the work. It pulls your court's official court rules, researches the highest authority it can find and writes the draft. By default, a second AI model, from a different company, attacks it the way the other side would.
- 04
Review it, then you file. By default, the work stops twice for review, and the whole filing gets a final read before it ships. It reaches you as a court-ready PDF.

No case reaches your papers unread.
Every case the engine cites is checked against the full court opinion: that it exists, that the quote is word for word, that it says what the brief says it says, and that no later decision the research finds has overruled it. A citation that fails any check is removed. The law comes from the library, never from a model's memory.
Research runs both ways.
If the strongest authority cuts against the position you asked for, the papers are built knowing it, and you see it before you file. The software does not tell you what to do in your case.
When the law supports you
When controlling authority supports the filing, the papers are built on it, and the citation ledger shows where every case came from.
When no court has decided the point
When no court above yours has squarely decided the point, the research says so and the draft builds from the closest binding principle instead of pretending.
When the law is against you
When controlling law runs the other way, the case is named with its source rather than left for the other side to find.
A real law library. For you, and for your AI.
Court opinions, statutes, regulations and court rules in one place you can search. Use it on this site, add it to Claude, Grok or any assistant that takes a connector, or call it from your own software. Your assistant looks the law up and cites the source instead of answering from memory.

Questions about Legal Ops Depot
Is this a law firm?
No. Legal Ops Depot is software. It drafts papers at your direction and does not give legal advice. You decide what to file, and you sign and file it.
Which courts does it work in?
State and federal courts across the United States, with 3,400 courts matched to their official court rules, in 57 U.S. jurisdictions.
Does it draft civil complaints, including Section 1983 civil rights complaints?
Yes. A civil complaint is the paper that starts a lawsuit, and it is its own item on the catalog, for state or federal court. That includes a complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against a person acting under state law, such as a state or local official, or a local government, that you say violated your constitutional rights. It is built to your court's pleading rules and the controlling case law. You sign it and you file it.
How do I know the cases are real?
Every case citation is checked against the full opinion before it can appear in your papers. A citation that fails is removed.
Which AI models does the engine use?
By default, two AI model families from two different companies, currently Anthropic's Claude and Grok. One researches, drafts and checks; the other reads the whole file for itself and attacks it, the way the other side would. Neither one's word counts as a source: proof comes from the record, the rule text and the opinions actually read. If the second model is unavailable, the matter pauses; it proceeds without it only on a recorded, logged waiver.
Can my AI assistant use the law library?
Yes. Add the connector address in Claude, Grok or another assistant that supports connectors, then sign in. The free plan includes 40 lookups a day.
Will it tell me if my case is worth filing?
No. Telling you whether to file would be legal advice, and Legal Ops Depot is not a law firm. The research shows the controlling law it found, including the law against your position, with sources. Whether to file is your decision; a licensed attorney or a legal-aid office can advise you.
Learn the filing before you buy it
