Clearbrief Reviews & Product Details

Linking to the Source documents/evidence is the best thing. No other AI tool has been able to do that that I know of. Being able to standardize and make consistent citations is very helpful. I like the availability of integrations with other programs, even though I have not had chance to use them yet. Performance of processing source documents was pretty quick and didn't run any many issues with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The User Interface is a little complicated/busy. I understand that this is sophisticated software, but a seasoned attorney is not going to understand how to make it work. I work with attorneys that can't even handle working MS Word correctly, there's no way they would understand how to do use Clearbrief. I also don't like that you can't share a linked brief outside of the Clearbrief universe (unless I'm not doing something right). Support was a little slow to respond to an email, but it was still within the same day, so I'm not that upset about that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Clearbrief for citation checking and creating tables of authorities. It saves a great deal of time in my appellate brief writing and helps me identify the best places to cite within factual documents, especially when reviewing hundreds of documents where the same information is presented slightly differently. It's fairly user-friendly, making it easy to get into and play with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clearbrief isn't perfect with understanding Maine citations, especially parallel citations, as it thinks they are two separate references. It also puts Maine statutes and state case citations into a table of authorities in an incorrect format, which requires manual correction. The training program is another issue as it is on a set schedule and not on-demand, which was a bit of a downer for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clearbrief is a very useful tool for going through documents, creating summaries, and then analyzing the issues raised in the documents that are uploaded. The “Ask a Question” tool is vitally important for me because it helps me do my own analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The window interface isn’t very user-friendly at first, at least until you get used to it. Also, there are so many tools available that it’s easy to forget which ones might be helpful once you’ve become familiar with just a few of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the tables that Clearbrief generates, especially for the table of authorities, feeling they're more reliable than AI-generated tables. It's quick and makes a pretty stressful task much easier. The initial setup of Clearbrief was pretty easy, with no issues, and was quick and painless. I find it incredibly helpful, so much so that I'd rate it a 10 for recommending it to a friend or colleague. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well I once tried drafting other stuff with it and couldn’t get much use out of it. I’m open to trying again though, I don’t really remember what the other feature I tried was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wrote a response and then G2 deleted it -____-. Anyways 1) being able to pull facts from the record and correlate them with citations to ensure references to the facts are accurate is invaluable. 2) Quickly assembling a TOA saves a ton of time. While not always 100% accurate it is also helpful that ClearBrief flags potential issues with citations so they can be addressed before finalizing a TOA or submitting a brief.

I feel like it could be somewhat more intuitive with its user interface. It's not bad by any means but I feel like it could be set-up with a cleaner interface. The little rainbow road interface thing feels cheap to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to link to case documents to prepare a fact timeline, having all of a case's important documents in one place to refer to, preparing a table of authorities. I also like that I can use iManage to get source documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to link to a source document doesn't feel very user friendly or intuitive, it's a bit clunky to understand how to appropriately link a statement to a portion of a source document, not very user friendly in terms of having flexibility about how a citation to a source document appears, once I've created a timeline and linked factual citations to a source document I want to be able to continue going back to that draft with live links but it seems that doesn't work. I am also still having trouble with the table of authorities generating with no page numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Clearbrief to hyperlink documents for court filings. It helps me create a table of contents incredibly fast. I like that a judge can click on a hyperlink, and it brings them directly to the citation or evidence that we are using to prove our case. The initial setup of Clearbrief was very easy.

The creation of citations to documents is not very intuitive and is often wrong and hard to fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Clearbrief primarily for cite-checking documents, and it really streamlines the cite-checking process for me. I appreciate how it allows me to compare sources directly with the draft after uploading, or from what it can locate, like cases and statutes. It's pretty straightforward and user-friendly, which I really like. The initial setup was pretty easy, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it has difficulty identifying citations in a document and whether they are a legal or factual citation, or mistakes other things in the brief for a citation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mostly like Clearbrief for its formatting of citations. It helps find the little things like italics and missing spaces, making it so much easier and quicker to do a cite check. This feature makes it easier to spot errors, saving my eyes and reducing stress. The Clearbrief help team is also incredibly helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Finding and citations can be problematic. Fact citations are not always selected properly, though the Clearbrief help team is incredibly helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Clearbrief helpful because it assists me in reviewing case materials, developing timelines, and checking citations in my role as an arbitrator. The most important feature for me is the one where the case law and factual citations can be verified. This feature saves me time and effort, as I don't have to manually look up every case and citation to ensure accuracy and prevent any AI 'hallucinations' in the parties' briefs and submissions. I also appreciated that the initial setup of Clearbrief was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It still feels a bit convoluted in its process but that may be due to lack of practice. It is designed more towards counsel - not arbitrators. The goals of these roles differ significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
