Justee's AI-powered legal brief review tool analyzes trial and appellate briefs for citation accuracy, persuasive structure, page-limit and font compliance, and record-citation integrity. The tool checks each cited authority against subsequent treatment to flag vacated, reversed, abrogated, or distinguished cases. It validates Bluebook citation format, computes word counts under FRAP 32 and the local appellate rules, and verifies that every record citation maps to an actual record entry. Justee evaluates the brief's structural persuasion: whether the question presented is framed for the relief sought, whether headings function as a self-contained roadmap, and whether the standard of review is correctly stated. Briefs persuade by clarity and credibility. Common brief failures include reliance on overruled authority, mis-cited record evidence, and statement-of-the-case sections that read as advocacy rather than fact. Professional brief review reduces credibility loss and supports the panel's skim test.

Powered by Justee AI • Free Legal Brief Analysis
Justee recently analyzed a 13,400-word opening brief citing 47 authorities for a regional firm filing an opening brief in the Ninth Circuit on a securities arbitration appeal.
Issue Found: Two leading citations had been abrogated by Henry Schein in 2019 but were still framed as controlling. The word count was 14,100 — 100 over the FRAP 32(a)(7) limit. The standard of review was stated as "abuse of discretion" when the issue was de novo.
Justee Recommendation: We replaced the abrogated authority with current Ninth Circuit precedent, restructured the argument under the correct de novo standard, and trimmed 800 words by collapsing two redundant sub-arguments. Brief was accepted for filing on first attempt.
"This Court reviews the district court's denial of the motion to compel arbitration for abuse of discretion."
"This Court reviews de novo the district court's denial of a motion to compel arbitration. Brennan v. Opus Bank, 796 F.3d 1125, 1128 (9th Cir. 2015). Whether the parties agreed to arbitrate is a question of contract interpretation reviewed without deference."
Why it matters: The standard of review controls the appellate analysis. Misstating it signals a brief drafted carelessly and forfeits arguments that turn on de novo treatment. Get the standard right with controlling authority on page one of the argument.
