Use cases

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 AI Meeting Notes 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

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.

    Contracts, filings, exhibits, AI Meeting Notes — bring the documents for a matter into one workspace.

  2. 02

    Ask in plain language

    Question the documents and get cited answers pointing at the exact passage, ready to verify.

  3. 03

    Work from understanding

    Turn what you found into notes, summaries, and audio overviews — with the sources still attached.

FAQ

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.
