AI Software for Litigation That Links Every Fact to the Record
DocuLex is AI software for US plaintiff and defense firms that handle complex, document-heavy litigation. It keeps every material fact in a case linked to the deposition page or exhibit it came from, shows the contrary evidence next to it, and checks every draft before it is filed.
DocuLex is licensed deliberately, to a limited number of firms.
Case Intelligence for Complex Litigation
DocuLex was co-founded in Baton Rouge by Jason L. Melancon, a trial lawyer who has spent seventeen years leading a commercial case with about sixteen defendants and a record of more than 300,000 pages. A record that size is more than any team can remember. DocuLex keeps the facts, the evidence for and against them, and the drafts that use them connected as the record grows and staff change. It works in commercial disputes, products liability, construction, trade secret, and other civil matters, and it does the most work in catastrophic injury and medical malpractice, where medical records are handled under HIPAA.
What a Litigator Can Open and Check
DocuLex publishes its method, Evidence-First Litigation, as five standards a firm can measure any system against. On the platform, they look like this.
The source of every fact Each material fact shows the deposition page and line or the exhibit and Bates number it came from, its status (verified, disputed, or under attorney review), and every draft that uses it.
Proof, element by element For each claim and defense, you see what the record supports, what it contradicts, and what it does not establish yet. Where there is no proof, the system says so.
Everything connected to one issue Pick an issue and see its witnesses, exhibits, admissions, expert opinions, contradictions, and the draft sections that use them.
Drafts checked before filing Every factual sentence in a draft stays linked to the record. Before you file, an audit marks each claim that is uncited, overstated, contradicted, or out of date, and a lawyer decides what to do with each one.
What new evidence changes When a later deposition or a corrected record comes in, DocuLex lists the facts, timeline entries, and draft paragraphs that need another look, and confirms which ones do not.
Documents DocuLex Drafts
Each document is drafted from the verified facts in the matter and checked the same way a filing is.
The litigation support software and legal document automation pages describe the drafting in more detail, and the legal file management page covers the filing structure and search underneath it.
- Settlement demands
- Medical chronologies and provider-by-provider visit summaries
- Discovery responses and interrogatory answers
- Routine federal pleadings: initial disclosures, Rule 26(f) reports, exhibit lists, and witness lists
- Deposition summaries and witness fact tables with page-and-line citations
- Correspondence and legal memoranda
- Medical billing summaries with billing codes
How Case Materials Are Protected
Case materials are encrypted in transit and at rest, no one at DocuLex, including its founders, can read a firm’s stored case data, and AI processing runs under contractual zero-data-retention terms. The data security page lists every control, including matter-level access and system-enforced ethical walls, and explains how qualified firms receive the written security overview under NDA.
How to Request Access
There is no self-service signup. A person handles every step.
Inquire about access
The inquiry asks for your firm, your role, the approximate number of litigation attorneys, and the kind of matters you handle. Every serious inquiry receives a personal reply within one business day.
Private demonstration
About thirty minutes, for one firm only, on a realistic sanitized matter. It follows one issue from the record to a motion paragraph, including the contrary evidence, then adds a new deposition and shows what has to be re-examined. Demonstrations are never recorded.
Pricing and onboarding
Pricing is provided on request. It depends on the number of attorneys, the makeup of the firm’s litigation practice, and the needs of its matters. A firm’s use of DocuLex is confidential.
