Drafting motions and court documents with AI

Writing a court document from scratch is intimidating. DocTik’s AI drafting turns the blank page into a structured first draft you can edit. Tell it what you need — "Draft a motion to continue the hearing" or "Help me write an answer to this complaint" — and it produces a working document using the details already in your case.

Because the AI knows your case, drafts come pre-populated with the right caption information: the parties, your role, the court and county, and the case number. Instead of formatting boilerplate, you can focus on the substance — the facts and arguments that are unique to your situation.

A draft is a beginning, not an ending. Read every line, fill in anything the AI could not know, and cut anything that does not fit. You can ask the assistant to revise — "Make the argument stronger," "Add a section about the missing notice," or "Shorten this" — and iterate until it reads the way you want.

• Check that names, dates, and the case number are exactly right
• Confirm the document matches your court’s required format
• Verify any legal citations against an official source

For common documents, starting from a template gives the AI a proven structure to fill in. See "Using document templates" for how role-based titles and auto-populated case details work together.

When the draft is ready, export it to PDF or Word to finalize and file. See "Exporting to PDF and Word."
