New online app experience and product enhancements help legal professionals improve writing and verify what AI gets wrong before their work reaches a client, court or opposing counsel.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BriefCatch, the legal writing and editing tool trusted by prominent law firms and both state and federal courts, today unveiled its transformation into a unified suite of tools for improving and verifying legal briefs. The launch debuts a new, fully self-serve online app, featuring a standalone writing and editing environment that works alongside Word and Outlook. The app also brings RealityCheck citation verification to general availability, adds new writing, learning and administrative capabilities and opens direct purchase for the first time to every legal professional, from individual attorneys and students to large firms and courts.
Generative AI has transformed how legal professionals research, draft and revise legal documents, dramatically accelerating many parts of the writing process. But that speed has introduced new risks. AI-generated work can appear polished and persuasive while containing fabricated citations, inaccurate quotations, misstated holdings or unsupported propositions. If one of these errors makes its way into a court filing, the consequences can include sanctions, reputational damage and malpractice exposure. Yet neither general-purpose AI tools nor most legal technology products are designed to catch these problems, which often turn on subtle questions of legal context that automated tools struggle to assess but that are critical to a brief's accuracy and credibility. These tools are optimized to produce a faster first draft, not to verify and contextualize the authorities supporting it.
With its expanded suite, BriefCatch closes this critical reliability gap by making citation verification and sharper writing recommendations standard on every plan, and by putting that protection within reach of every legal professional, not just the largest firms. Attorneys can also use BriefCatch to easily catch errors in opponents' briefs to gain competitive advantage and prevent unreliable statements of law from slipping through and misleading the court.
"This isn't just a product update – it's a reintroduction of BriefCatch. Clear, persuasive, credible legal writing shouldn't require a tradeoff between speed and accuracy. Nor should it be something only the largest firms can access," said Ross Guberman, founder and CEO of BriefCatch and a leading legal writing expert. "With the new BriefCatch, we're giving all legal professionals the tools to produce stronger, more accurate work today, while becoming better writers and reviewers over time."
What's New Across the Suite
- BriefCatch Online App: Sign up, manage your account and access the Learning Hub, then edit with the full BriefCatch suite, including Writing Assistant, CiteCheck and RealityCheck, through BriefCatch's secure online environment or in Word and Outlook – whichever fits your workflow best.
- RealityCheck, standard on every plan: Out of beta and available to every user, RealityCheck reads the cases you cite and checks whether the opinion supports your brief's quotations, holdings, dispositions and propositions. It flags altered quotes, misstated holdings and unsupported citations, tells you to manually verify any case it can't confirm across three case-law sources and scans documents for concealed text such as white-on-white type, hidden formatting and zero-width characters. Unlike a traditional citator, which tells you whether an authority is still good law, RealityCheck tells you whether that authority actually supports the sentence it is cited for.
- Upgraded writing engine: Sharper recommendations across five specific dimensions (engagement, concision, flow, punch and clarity), each with a plain-English explanation and before-and-after examples from top legal writers.
- Online Learning Hub: Integrated directly into the online experience, Ross Guberman's complete four-course legal-writing curriculum includes 90 self-paced modules and five AI-focused webinars drawing on techniques Guberman has used to train federal judges and legal professionals at more than 300 law firms and 80 courts. Formerly offered exclusively through costly live, in-person workshops, this training reinforces core principles behind BriefCatch's recommendations to turn every edit into a lasting skill.
- Self-serve administration: Manage seats, access and AI credit allocation instantly in the online app, with transparent credit tracking and organization-wide usage management.
- Scalable, flexible plans: BriefCatch offers Individual, Pro and Enterprise plans. Individual legal professionals—including solo practitioners, law students, judicial clerks and public interest lawyers—can now subscribe directly without firm affiliation. Meanwhile, mid-sized firms, enterprise organizations and courts can seamlessly register, manage user seats, configure access levels and allocate AI credits through the self-serve web app, streamlining account onboarding and eliminating delays.
- Free 7-day trial: No credit card required, with self-serve conversion to a paid plan.
The full BriefCatch suite is available starting today. To learn more and start a free, seven-day trial, visit www.briefcatch.com.
