Litigation Utilities - Redaction / Privilege Log / Bates / Word Limit / Proof of Service

Redact, build privilege logs, Bates-number, check word limits, and certify service - in the browser.

This tool runs inside GDBS Pro. What it computes and the authorities it applies are below.

The problem

Litigation support work - redacting PII, logging privilege, Bates numbering, checking word limits, certifying service - is repetitive and easy to botch, and cloud tools upload sensitive documents to do it.

The local-first solution

A deterministic, client-side toolkit detects patterns, counts, and fills templates over your pasted input, with no network call, no AI, and the same input always producing the same output.

What it does

Document redaction of SSNs, emails, phones, card/account numbers, EINs, IPs, and custom terms

Privilege log builder: formatted, consistently numbered table plus plain-text export

Bates numbering from prefix, start, pad width, and per-document page counts

Brief word-limit check against FRAP 32 and common federal limits as dated reference data

Proof-of-service generator slot-filled from caption, document, method, and parties

Redaction log records span by category and position, not the cleartext value

Honest scope

A litigation-support companion, not legal advice. Redaction is a heuristic pattern matcher that can miss or over-match PII - review every page. The word-limit table is reference data to confirm against the controlling rule, and the privilege log and proof-of-service builders make no legal determination.

Authorities cited

Fed. R. App. P. 32(a)(7) (type-volume limits) and 29(a)(5) (amicus length). Source for the FRAP word-limit reference figures - confirm against the current rule and any circuit local rule.
Sup. Ct. R. 33.1(g). Source for the Supreme Court merits-brief word-limit reference figure.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(5)(A). Basis for the privilege-log structure (describe withheld material to enable an assessment of the claim).
Fed. R. Civ. P. 5 and 5(d) / Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(l). Basis for the proof-of-service / certificate-of-service template.
ISO/IEC 7812 / ANSI Luhn (mod 10) check. Used to reduce false positives in credit-card detection (a flagged number passes the Luhn checksum).
