Jurisage TOA Builder

The work the buyer pays for is finding and sorting the citations in a brief. Jurisage attributes that step to its AI, which identifies each citation, groups the authorities by type and hands the list to a person to confirm. Formatting the finished table to court rules and producing the download sit around that step. A citation parser built on rules could do part of the same job, so the AI drives the core task without being the whole product.

The product page promises accurate, compliant tables, and no accuracy figure, test set or error rate stands behind the promise. Output is a list of the citations already in the user's own brief, so nothing new is generated, but a citation can still be missed, misread or put under the wrong heading. Section 4.2 of the terms disclaims responsibility for incorrect formats, mischaracterized authorities, incomplete citations and wrong case names or reporters, and section 3.2 requires the user to verify every citation.

Review is a fixed step in the workflow. After upload, the extracted citations appear for the user to review, edit and confirm before any table is generated, and Jurisage presents this as keeping the team in control. Section 3 of the terms puts the user solely and ultimately in charge of anything filed and names what the user must verify: case names and citations, pinpoints, local rules, subsequent history and categories. Nothing describes when the tool flags a citation it is unsure of, or what happens after an error reaches a filing.

Customer voices are anonymous: a senior partner at a litigation firm of more than 100 lawyers, a law librarian at a national firm, counsel in corporate litigation and a litigation support manager. The outcome claims, a manual table of two to four hours replaced by about ten minutes of review and a 75 to 90% cut in staff time, carry no named customer or method. No case study, named firm or usage count is given.

Uploaded briefs stay the user's property. Section 8.1 of the TOA Builder terms grants Jurisage a limited license to process them solely to provide the service. Section 8.3 treats every uploaded document as confidential, to be disclosed only as needed to provide the service or as the law requires. Section 10.3 leaves compliance with privilege and work product rules to the user. Training on uploaded briefs is not mentioned, no retention or deletion period is stated, and nothing describes how one firm's documents are kept apart from another's.

Section 2 of the terms describes an automated tool that assists legal professionals in document preparation and is no substitute for professional judgment and review. Section 3.3 states that no legal advice or representation is given and no attorney client relationship arises. Under section 7.1 the user acknowledges that the tool does not lessen the duty of competent representation or the rules of professional conduct.

Candor to the tribunal and supervision of work product are named as well, and section 7.2 warns that malpractice cover may not reach errors from automated tools. Use is not limited to lawyers, and the courts supported are not listed.

No AI policy, principles, testing method or accountable owner is published for TOA Builder or for Jurisage. The product page describes the AI only as finding, grouping and formatting citations with a person checking afterward, and nothing addresses how the tool performs across courts, citation styles or unusual authorities.

Personal information gathered through registration, site use and cookies falls under Jurisage's privacy policy, with access limited to staff who need it and physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. That policy does not address uploaded briefs. Section 10.2 of the TOA Builder terms promises reasonable security measures while noting that absolute security cannot be guaranteed. No retention period, deletion route, subprocessor list or incident practice is given for the documents a firm uploads.

Section 4.4 caps Jurisage's total liability at the amount paid for the specific document processing behind the claim. Section 4.3 excludes direct and indirect damages, naming court sanctions, lost cases and appeals, malpractice claims and harm to professional reputation. The service is provided as is, accuracy included, and the user indemnifies Jurisage for any table submitted to a court. Fees for a processed document are not refundable.

TOA Builder stands alone in the browser. A user uploads the finished brief, downloads the generated table and inserts it into the original document by hand. No Word add in, document management connection or filing system link is described for it, unlike CiteRight's Word add in from the same company.

Delivery is a hosted service: a secure, web based tool reached at toabuilder.jurisage.com. Where it runs, which cloud holds uploaded briefs and in which country they are processed are not stated. The terms are governed by Ontario law, which says nothing about where data sits.

SOC2 compliance and enterprise level security are claimed for Jurisage. No report type, auditor, scope or period is given, and there is no trust center or route to request a report.

The models behind TOA Builder are not described: whether citation finding uses a language model, a trained classifier or a parser, whose model it is, or where it runs. Jurisage refers only to its AI.

Pricing is per document. Each brief processed is a separate charge, with no subscription, setup or IT work, and a fee is not refunded once a table has been generated. Firms with steady volume can prepay credits for several briefs at discounted rates with central billing. Jurisage pitches the per brief price as less than two hours of staff time and states in its terms that pricing is shown before purchase, but no figure appears outside the signed in tool.

The tool serves litigators filing briefs in United States courts, from a lawyer working alone to large firms with paralegals, associates and litigation support staff. Firm managers are addressed directly, on the cost of time written off for tables of authorities. Support is described as many state and federal courts with growing coverage, without a list of the courts or citation formats covered.
