AI for paralegals who keep every matter moving
Paralegals hold the matter together. You open the file, run the conflict search, calendar the dates, summarize the production and prepare the first draft before the attorney ever looks at it. Jural takes the repetitive part of each of those jobs and hands you a draft to check, so you can get through the day's queue and still have time for the work that needs your judgment.
A paralegal's day without a second pair of hands
Three new intakes came in overnight. Each one needs a conflict search across the client list and the adverse parties, a matter number and an engagement letter. A production of two thousand pages arrived for an existing matter, and the attorney wants a summary of the key emails by Thursday. A scheduling order was entered yesterday, and every date in it has to reach the calendar with the right person assigned. Somewhere in between, the attorney asks for a first draft of a letter to opposing counsel and a quick chronology for a call.
The work is precise, it is constant, and much of it is copying the same names and dates from one place to another.
How Jural handles each job
- Intake. Legal intake software collects answers through a form per practice area and creates the matter record, so you stop re-typing facts from emails.
- Conflict searches. Law firm conflict check software searches clients, adverse parties and related names with fuzzy matching for spelling variants and nicknames, and produces a report the attorney signs off.
- Calendaring. Legal calendaring software pulls response dates, hearing dates and notice periods from orders, notices and contracts into the matter calendar with assignees and reminders. The attorney confirms each computed date.
- Summaries. Legal document analysis software summarizes productions, pleadings and contracts and answers questions with the page reference, including scans with OCR.
- Chronologies. Case chronology software builds a dated timeline from the file with document and page for every event, ready to export to DOCX or CSV.
- First drafts. Legal document automation software fills the firm's templates for letters, engagement letters, NDAs and motion shells with matter facts.
- Time. Time tracking software for lawyers turns your notes into draft time entries with narrative and duration, ready for approval and LEDES 1998B export.
One intake to a calendared matter in one sitting
- Open the intake answers for a new prospect and confirm the names, adverse parties and related entities.
- Run the conflict search. Review potential matches, add notes on each, and route the report to the responsible attorney for sign-off.
- After sign-off, generate the engagement letter from the firm template and send it to the attorney for review.
- Upload the documents the client provided. Read the summary and check the key dates Jural found.
- Assign each proposed deadline to the right attorney and paralegal. Each date stays unconfirmed until the attorney accepts it.
- Build the first chronology from the file for the attorney's initial call.
- Approve your draft time entries for the intake work so it reaches the invoice.
Attorney supervision is built into the workflow
Jural supports lawyers and does not give legal advice, and paralegal work in Jural is designed to be supervised. Every summary, chronology, draft and conflict report is a draft for attorney review. Conflict reports require an attorney decision, and computed deadlines require attorney confirmation, because Jural does not replace court rules calendaring review. The paralegal role sees only the matters it is assigned, per-matter access walls apply to every search, and the activity log shows the supervising attorney who prepared, edited and approved each item.

Which plan fits the paralegal team
Paralegals use the same seats as attorneys. In a firm of three or more, the Firm plan costs $49 per user per month billed yearly ($588 per user per year), or $99 month to month, with 3 000 analysed pages, 500 assistant questions and 80 drafts per user per month, shared templates and the firm-wide conflict check. A solo attorney working with one assistant fits Solo, which covers one or two seats at $24 per user per month billed yearly ($288 per user per year), or $49 month to month. Yearly billing saves 50 percent. Compare on AI legal assistant pricing.
