What is Justice Genie?
Justice Genie is AI case-preparation software for people representing themselves in a legal matter. You upload your documents, pick a case type, and ask questions in plain English. Answers are designed to be drawn from your own documents and cited public law, and to tell you when there's no source. It is legal information, not legal advice.
Is Justice Genie a lawyer or law firm — does it give legal advice?
No. Justice Genie is not a lawyer, not a law firm, and does not give legal advice. It provides legal information grounded in your own documents and cited public law. Using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. For advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
Can I use AI to help represent myself in court?
Many courts allow self-represented people to use AI tools to prepare, but you remain fully responsible for the accuracy of anything you file or say. Some courts and judges have local rules or standing orders requiring you to disclose AI-assisted filings or restricting AI-generated content — check your specific court's rules before you file or appear.
How does it avoid made-up cases and citations?
Answers are designed to come only from retrieved source text — your uploaded documents first, then authoritative public law such as federal regulations and case law. Claims are cited, and when no source supports an answer the system is built to say so instead of guessing. An automated check compares each proposed citation with the source text and withholds ones it cannot match. No automated check is perfect: AI can still make mistakes, so verify every citation against the official source before relying on it.
Can it help with small claims, arbitration, or a deposition?
It can help you prepare. Small claims is a supported case type, practice mode includes a judge-or-arbitrator persona so you can rehearse an arbitration hearing, and deposition tools offer AI-generated, cited suggestions and a plain-English recap of a finished deposition. It is not legal advice and cannot represent you.
How does mock hearing practice work?
An AI plays a role you choose — opposing counsel, a judge or arbitrator, or a witness — and asks tough questions grounded in your own case documents, probing the actual weak points and gaps in your evidence. When you're stuck, one click shows an example answer drawn from your documents so you can practice how to respond. It's a learning aid, not a script.
Are my documents private — is what I upload privileged?
Your documents are encrypted at rest and isolated to your account. But because Justice Genie is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, there is no attorney-client privilege covering what you upload or ask — treat it as you would any non-privileged communication. See our privacy & security page for full detail on how your data is handled.
How is it different from a general chatbot?
A general chatbot answers from its training data and can confidently invent facts, quotes, or citations. Justice Genie is designed to answer only from retrieved source text — your own documents and public law it looks up — to cite its sources, and to say when it doesn't have one rather than guess. It can still make mistakes, so check the sources it shows.
How much does Justice Genie cost?
You can start free and upload up to 3 documents with no card required. Paid plans add encrypted storage: Starter is $9/month for 25 GB, Pro is $29/month for 100 GB, and Business is $99/month for 1 TB. Pay yearly instead and get 2 months free ($90, $290, or $990 per year). Every plan includes the full assistant.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Paid plans renew automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel online anytime from Plans → Manage billing in the app; access continues through the period you paid for. Billing is handled securely by Stripe — we never see or store your card details.
