01What It Does
What it does
- Pulls cases from CourtListener, bills from LegiScan, Georgia material from Georgia Commons, and federal statutes, regulations, and agency guidance through its own uslaw-mcp server
- Formats Bluebook citations
- Screens treatment (overruled cases, statutes held unconstitutional) ahead of a manual KeyCite
- Drafts a Westlaw search for paywalled secondary sources, which the human runs and reports back
