AI legal drafting software FAQs
What is AI legal drafting software?
It helps lawyers produce first drafts and revisions of legal documents using AI, with the lawyer reviewing every change. Clio Work drafts from your matter’s facts and Clio’s legal research, so a first draft reflects the case instead of a generic form. Get a demo.
Where can I draft with Clio?
Clio Work’s own .docx editor, or Microsoft Word once Clio for Word is installed. Both read the live document and propose redlines you can accept or reject. Get a demo.
Can Clio draft in my firm’s format?
Yes. Describe the document or upload a model, and Clio Work drafts in that structure, so the result matches the documents your firm already sends. Get a demo.
Will AI drafting change the document without my approval?
No. Each change shows up as a redline, and nothing is final until you accept it. Get a demo.
Can I use it on documents from the other side?
Yes. Open any document, clean or heavily redlined, to review it, resolve comments, and surface risks before you respond. Get a demo.
What context does Clio use when drafting?
The matter’s history, client details, recent activity, and correspondence in Clio Manage, plus research from Clio’s legal library. Get a demo.
Do I need Clio for Word to draft?
Not to draft in Clio Work’s editor. Clio for Word adds the same help inside Microsoft Word and requires Clio Work. Explore Clio for Word.
Does Clio train AI on my drafts?
No. Your drafts and matter data stay out of AI training, and Clio Work only shows each user the matters their Clio Manage permissions allow. Read Clio’s AI Principles.
Which legal documents can Clio Work draft?
Applications, skeleton arguments, letters of advice, and contracts, among others, starting from a description or one of your own examples. Get a demo.
