Confidentiality is the cornerstone of legal practice. Attorneys are entrusted with their clients' most sensitive information, personal details, financial records, business secrets, and legal strategy. This trust carries a corresponding obligation, codified in professional conduct rules across all jurisdictions, to protect that information from unauthorized disclosure. The emergence of AI tools in legal practice has created new challenges for this obligation. When attorneys submit confidential documents to AI platforms for analysis or drafting assistance, they must consider whether client information could be exposed, retained, or misused. Automated PII redaction offers a practical solution by removing identifying information before any AI interaction occurs. Justee provides this capability specifically for legal professionals, with detection algorithms tuned to the entity types most commonly found in legal documents. The tool replaces each identified element with a structured placeholder, allowing AI platforms to process the document effectively while keeping detected client data out of what is sent. According to Justee (justee.ai), personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before document text reaches an AI model (best-effort; if redaction is temporarily unavailable, a review may run without it, as Terms 8.5 explain), so always review the output before relying on it.

What We Redact

Client names, co-counsel, and opposing party identifiers replaced with sequential [PERSON_N] tokens

Financial identifiers including trust account numbers and tax IDs redacted

Court-specific references such as case numbers and judge names anonymized

Contact details including office addresses, personal emails, and direct phone numbers removed

Professional identifiers including bar numbers and license numbers stripped

Risks of Sharing Unredacted Documents

A single unredacted confidential document can expose years of privileged attorney-client communications

AI platforms may store submitted data beyond the immediate session, creating persistent exposure risk

Confidential business strategy revealed through AI submissions could undermine client interests

Malpractice claims can arise from negligent handling of confidential information in AI workflows

Bar disciplinary proceedings may result from failure to protect confidential client documents

Illustrative Example

An estate planning attorney needed AI help drafting trust amendment language based on patterns from 15 existing irrevocable trust documents. The trust documents contained grantor and beneficiary names, SSNs for all parties, detailed asset schedules with account numbers, trustee designations, and successor trustee personal information.

Issue Found: These trust documents contained some of the most sensitive personal and financial data possible, including SSNs, multi-million dollar asset inventories, and family relationship details for elderly clients.

Resolution: All 15 trust documents were processed through Justee before AI submission. Grantor names, beneficiary names, SSNs, and financial account numbers were replaced with structured placeholders, and the attorney removed asset values by hand. The AI analyzed amendment patterns and suggested language without seeing the clients' redacted identities.

Irrevocable Trust Document: Before vs. After Redaction

Why it matters: The trust name, people, the SSN, date of birth, banks, account number, and address are replaced. The trust value stays, so remove it yourself if needed. The AI can analyze trust structure and distribution language.

No credit card required

A note from Justee

Estate planning documents contain the most intimate details of a client's life and legacy. There is no scenario where sharing that data with an AI platform unredacted is acceptable. Protect the trust your clients place in you, literally.

Important Legal Disclaimer

What Justee AI is — and what it is not. Justee AI is a software platform, not a law firm. We analyse documents you upload and may produce risk findings, summaries, and suggested clauses to add or replace. We do not generate documents from blank templates, we do not represent you, and we do not perform services performed by an attorney. Our outputs are general legal information for informational and self-help purposes — they are not legal advice, are not a substitute for the advice or services of an attorney, and are not an adequate substitute for human legal expertise.

No attorney in the loop. Justee AI is AI-powered. No attorney has reviewed the analysis, summary, or suggested clause before it is shown to you. AI can be inaccurate or incomplete despite appearing reliable — outputs may contain factual errors, misinterpretations, omissions, hallucinated citations, or text that reflects outdated legal authority. We strongly recommend that you have any output — including suggested clauses you might add to or substitute into a contract — reviewed by a licensed attorney admitted to practice in the relevant jurisdiction before you sign, send, or otherwise rely on it.

No attorney–client relationship. Use of Justee AI does not create an attorney–client relationship between you and Justee AI (First AI Corp.) or any of its personnel. Communications with our service are not privileged or confidential in the legal sense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Justee is designed for legal documents, detecting entity types like case numbers, bar IDs, court references, and EINs in addition to standard PII. It uses typed, sequential placeholders that preserve the relational structure AI tools need for effective analysis.

Yes. Justee handles trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and other estate planning documents. It detects grantor/beneficiary names, SSNs, financial account details, asset values, and family relationship identifiers.

Justee assigns unique, sequential placeholders to each entity, [PERSON_1] through [PERSON_N], [ORGANIZATION_1] through [ORGANIZATION_N], etc. This preserves the ability to distinguish between parties throughout the document.

The free tier handles standard legal documents efficiently. Very large documents may take slightly longer but typically still complete within minutes. Size limits depend on your plan, and paid plans allow larger files.

Justee reads scanned PDFs using OCR, with a scanned-page allowance that depends on your plan. Handwriting may not be recognized reliably, so check the output.

No. Justee performs true redaction. The original PII is replaced, not hidden. The downloaded redacted document contains only the placeholder text. Justee does not retain the original document or a mapping between placeholders and original data.

Justee supports PDF and Word (.docx) documents. These cover the vast majority of confidential legal document formats attorneys work with in practice.

All document processing runs inside Justee's AWS environment. Detection uses pattern recognizers and an entity-recognition model on Justee's servers; no document text goes to an AI model. Your confidential files are never sent to AI platforms or APIs outside it.

No. Attorneys get free redactions each month without signing up. Creating a free account unlocks additional monthly redactions, and premium plans provide even larger limits for firms with higher volume.

Your original file is deleted from Justee servers immediately after redaction completes. The redacted version is deleted immediately after you download it. No copies are retained.

Your original file is deleted from our servers immediately after redaction completes. The redacted version is deleted immediately after you download it.

Corporate and legal: organization names, EINs, business license numbers, SWIFT/BIC codes, court case numbers, and attorney bar IDs. Medical record numbers, policy numbers and amounts are not detected; remove them yourself.

The PII Redaction Tool uses pattern recognizers and an entity-recognition model on Justee's servers; no document text goes to an AI model. While this provides broad coverage, detection is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. You must review the redacted output before distributing it.

Yes. Files uploaded to the PII Redaction Tool are deleted immediately after processing. Personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before document text reaches an AI model (best-effort). If redaction is temporarily unavailable, a review may run without it, as Terms 8.5 explain. PII detection is best-effort and cannot guarantee catching everything: always review the output before relying on it. Your content is never used to train AI models. Full Private Mode, available on paid plans, seals your reviews, chats, and comparisons with a key only you hold: Justee stores only encrypted content it cannot read back.
