One missed error.
One dismissed case.

Courts dismiss motions for inconsistent party names. Judges strike briefs with defective signature blocks. Clerks reject filings with wrong case number formats. These aren't rare edge cases — they happen in firms of every size, every week.

No associate catches everything under deadline pressure. No partner has time to proof every page. That's what Voir Dire is for.

High stakes
Filing defects are among the most cited causes of legal malpractice claims — and the most preventable
Every draft
Mechanical errors appear in first drafts across firms of every size — not because attorneys are careless, but because deadlines are relentless
No margin
Courts do not grade on a curve. A defective signature block or inconsistent party name carries the same consequence as a missed argument
Hours saved
Manual proofing of a complex motion takes hours. Voir Dire surfaces the same issues in under 60 seconds — with fixes attached

Three reports.
One scan.
Nothing missed.

🎯 Legal Angles
Critical Party name inconsistency — caption vs. body Party Names
Finding: The caption identifies the plaintiff as "John A. Mitchell" but the body of the motion refers to "John Mitchell" (no middle initial) in paragraphs 3, 7, and 12. Courts have stricken motions for less — opposing counsel will notice.
Recommended Fix
Standardize to the full legal name "John A. Mitchell" as it appears on the complaint throughout. Do a find-and-replace before filing.
Critical Contradictory dates — service and deadline calculation Dates
Finding: Page 2 states the complaint was served on March 3, 2024 and that this motion is timely filed within 21 days. Page 4 states the motion is due "on or before February 28, 2024" — a date that precedes service. The deadline calculation is internally impossible.
Recommended Fix
Recalculate: 21 days from March 3 = March 24, 2024. Update page 4 to reflect the correct deadline and verify against TRCP Rule 99.
Warning Certificate of service — method of service not specified Certificate of Service
Finding: Certificate of service is present and signed, but does not specify the method of service (mail, e-service, hand delivery). TRCP Rule 21a requires the method to be stated.
Recommended Fix
Add: "…was served on counsel of record via [e-service / first-class mail / hand delivery] on [date]."
Pass Signature block — complete and properly formatted Signature Block
⚖ Relevant precedent identified
Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly
550 U.S. 544 (2007)
Landmark
Why this matters here
This motion argues the complaint fails to state a plausible claim. Twombly is the controlling standard — your motion should cite it explicitly in the 12(b)(6) argument section. It is currently absent from the brief.

This is a representative sample scan. Actual results vary by document. Precedent citations should be independently verified.

"Built for the details that end cases. Powered by AI that never skims."

Voir Dire was built by someone with formal paralegal training who understood something most legal tech founders miss: the most dangerous errors in legal documents aren't the hard legal questions. They're the mechanical ones — the wrong name, the impossible date, the missing signature line — the things that get cases thrown out before they're ever heard.

Those are exactly the errors AI is extraordinarily good at catching, if the system is designed by someone who knows what to look for. That's what Voir Dire is — a precision tool that reads your documents the way opposing counsel would, hunting for anything that could be used against you.

Voir Dire is an early-stage product. It is not a law firm, not a lawyer, and not a substitute for attorney review. It is a tool designed to make your review faster, more thorough, and more defensible.

Scope: Voir Dire is currently optimized for motions and briefs filed in U.S. federal and state courts. Additional document types are in development. Precedent citations surfaced by Voir Dire should be independently verified before reliance — legal databases change and AI systems can err. This tool is designed to support attorney review, not replace it.
