HOW TO: Using SEDM Documents with AI to help with Your Litigation**

SEDM documents and litigation tools are very useful as inputs to your favorite AI tool that you can then use to produce legal briefs and explore hypothetical scenarios.

If you discover legal AI tools not listed here that we can add, please send information about them to our About->Contact Us page.

2. Google Notebook LM

https://notebooklm.google.com/

Google NotebookLM allows you to create a library of documents and use AI queries to produce useful things with them. Its a great quick way to summarize documents, ask quick questions, and prepare short briefs.

Has a SOURCE size limit of 500,000 words per source and a file size limit of Up to 200MB for local uploads.

3. Claude

https://claude.ai/

Claude is definitely worth the money. $20/month plus tax. There are three models:

1. Haiku.
2. Sonnet. Sonnet model is the best for litigation.
3. Opus.

Claude has a 200,000 token limit. We think it is around 3/4 of a word per token.

It has 200,000 tokens per conversation. We’ve had it simultaneously analyze 4 legal briefs, a judge’s written opinion, and the full text for 3 Supreme Court decisions, and help us write a responsive brief using all of that information. The more you push it by maxing out the documents in the projects, it starts to slightly lose its accuracy. But if you keep it at around 100,000 tokens it will not hallucinate. But we have not been able to use it with any SEDM materials because all of the PDFs are too large to upload!

If the PDFs were about half the size, you could upload multiple documents and simulate how to interact with judges – have Claude produce all of the arguments the judges will make to you, and then produce how you should respond to the judges.

If the judges didn’t know what to do with you before… they may try to strike your filings from the record for being so dangerous.
