Built for litigators, boutiques, and firms doing real federal work — not Am Law 100. Point at a docket. Get a motion, response, reply, or brief drafted against the venue's local rules, the judge's standing orders, and the format the clerk actually accepts. In closed beta this August.
The billion-dollar legal AI market has built for the wrong buyer. Harvey drafts memos for Am Law 100 partners. CoCounsel searches Westlaw for corporate associates. UniCourt tracks dockets for enterprise intake teams. Nobody has built the tool that takes a federal docket, the venue's local rules, and your facts, and hands you a filing the clerk will actually accept.

ClerkReady
Federal filing drafts, clerk-ready
PACER-native. Local rules aware. The tool nobody has built.
Five steps. Under fifteen minutes for a first draft that would otherwise take an associate a full day.
Format: [district]:[year]-cv-[docket]. Or paste the URL. ClerkReady pulls the full case history — every filing, order, and scheduling event.
Full docket, prior filings, opposing party's arguments, judge's rulings on the case, and the assigned judge's standing orders across all their cases.
Local rules for the district. Page and word limits. Font, margins, line-spacing, cover-page format, table-of-authorities requirements. The formatting rules most drafts get bounced on.
Motion, response, reply, petition, or appellate brief in the correct posture. Cites from the docket record and precedent database. Every citation traceable. Format constraints enforced at generation, not review.
Before you download: automated checks against the top rejection patterns for that district and judge. Wrong caption. Missing certificate of service. Overlong tables. The stuff a partner catches on the fifth read — caught before the first read.
ClerkReady was built by a federal litigator, not a former banker with a legal advisory board. The founder has spent twenty years across the table from the IRS and DOL in federal tax controversy, ERISA, and audit-defense litigation. Filings at the United States Supreme Court (Elick v. Commissioner). Oral argument at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (Tommy Barrow v. USA). Active APA challenges against the IRS in the Eastern District of Wisconsin and the District of Utah — covered by Bloomberg Law and Law360.
The pattern-match for what a clerk will reject was not learned from a legal-tech consulting deck. It was learned from filing under deadline in real federal courts against the federal government — and watching what happens to opposing counsel's papers when they miss the standing order footnote or the format requirement.
ClerkReady is the tool the founder built for himself first.

ClerkReady enters closed beta August 2026 with a small, hand-selected group of federal litigators. Priority given to solo practitioners, litigation boutiques (under 20 attorneys), and federal in-house counsel.
