How Legal Teams Use Scholarly
Question case files and contracts
Upload agreements, filings, and case material and ask what you need to know — key dates, obligations, definitions, inconsistencies — in plain language.
Verify against the exact passage
Every answer cites where it came from. Jump straight to the clause or paragraph and confirm it yourself — the source is always one click away.
Transcribe depositions and hearings
Upload recordings of depositions, hearings, or client meetings. Get transcripts, summaries, and a searchable record you can question afterward.
Review files on the move
Turn case material into audio overviews and podcasts — keep moving through the file list between meetings, in transit, or after hours.
Features That Matter for Legal Work
Cross-document questions
Ask one question across an entire matter — multiple contracts, filings, and exhibits — and see what each document says, with citations.
Summaries of very long files
300-page files become structured summaries in minutes. Get the shape of a document before you commit hours to a close read.
A private workspace
Your uploads are private to your account and not shared with other users. You control your library and can delete materials at any time.
Bar & CLE preparation
Studying for the bar or completing CLE requirements? Turn the material into practice questions, flashcards, and summaries that stick.
How It Works
Upload the matter
Contracts, filings, exhibits, recordings — bring the documents for a matter into one workspace.
Ask in plain language
Question the documents and get cited answers pointing at the exact passage, ready to verify.
Work from understanding
Turn what you found into notes, summaries, and audio overviews — with the sources still attached.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this legal advice?
No. Scholarly is a document-understanding workspace, not a lawyer. It helps you read, search, and summarize your own materials faster — every answer cites its source so you can verify it — but conclusions and judgment calls remain with you and your counsel.
How accurate are the answers?
Answers are grounded in the documents you upload and cite the passages they came from — that citation is the point. Treat Scholarly as a fast first pass that always shows its work, and verify anything you rely on against the cited source.
Can it handle very long documents?
Yes. Scholarly is built for long material — full agreements, discovery files, and statutes run hundreds of pages, and you can question or summarize them without splitting the files yourself.
Are my documents confidential?
Your uploads are private to your account and are not shared with other users. You stay in control of your library and can delete materials at any time. For matter-specific confidentiality obligations, apply your firm's own policies on cloud tools.
