Legal Analyst Expert
Run five deterministic analyses over pasted legal text - citations, terms, clauses, redline, cross-refs.
This tool runs inside GDBS Pro. What it computes and the authorities it applies are below.
The problem
Reviewing contracts and briefs by hand is slow and error-prone for citation shapes, defined terms, and missing clauses, while cloud AI tools send confidential text off-device and answer non-deterministically.
The local-first solution
A deterministic, rules-based analyzer extracts and validates citations, terms, and clauses from pasted text by fixed string computation, with no network call, no AI, and the same input always producing the same output.
What it does
Citation extractor with Bluebook-shape validation for U.S. cases, U.S. Code, CFR, and Fed. Reg.
Defined-terms extractor pulling contract term plus definition snippet
Clause detector classifying present clauses and flagging common missing ones
Word-level redline diff between two pasted versions via longest-common-subsequence
Cross-reference resolver that constructs official eCFR, U.S. Code, and Federal Register URLs
Every result a deterministic function of the input text
Honest scope
Text analysis by fixed rules only; not legal advice. There is no case-law corpus, so it does only shape/Bluebook-format checks, no citation-validity-against-a-database, and calls no AI or network. The cross-reference resolver builds URLs but does not fetch them or confirm the target exists. Treat output as a drafting aid for a qualified reviewer.
Authorities cited
- The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (21st ed. 2020). Citation shape conventions for U.S. cases, statutes, regulations, and the Federal Register.
- ALWD Guide to Legal Citation (7th ed. 2021), Carolyn V. Williams. Alternative citation manual; statutory/regulatory/Federal Register shapes coincide with the Bluebook core forms.
- Electronic Code of Federal Regulations, ecfr.gov - public current-edition deep-link URL form /current/title-{t}/part-{p}/section-{p.s}.
- United States Code, uscode.house.gov public viewer - granuleid URL form USC-prelim-title{t}-section{s}.
- Federal Register, federalregister.gov public citation URL form /citation/{vol}-FR-{page}.

Analyze the text
Paste a contract or brief and run the analysis in your browser, then route the findings into a Sandbox set or a Worklog case. The text is never uploaded to anyone's cloud.
