Drafting the certification brief from the record up.
The certification motion is the case hinge document, and it is only as strong as the record beneath each sentence. JustineAI™ is designed to draft it from the record up: the reasoning core will marshal the numerosity, commonality, typicality, and adequacy showing for Rule 23 — or the similarly-situated showing for an FLSA collective — and attach each factual assertion to a reconciled record or a CourtListener-grounded authority. The output is a structured, attorney-attestable brief, not prose to be fact-checked after the fact.
What EL is designed to do.
- 01
The platform will build each Rule 23(a) element on concrete record support — class size from the reconciled member list for numerosity, the uniform policy for commonality, the named plaintiff’s matching injury for typicality — rather than reciting the standard abstractly.
- 02
For FLSA collectives the platform will assemble the similarly-situated showing — common policy, comparable job duties, shared pay practice — calibrated to whichever standard the forum applies after recent circuit movement away from a single national test.
- 03
Every case and statute the brief cites will be CourtListener-grounded and checked for citation discipline, so controlling certification authority in the forum circuit is real, current, and accurately characterized — no invented precedent reaches a filing.
- 04
Each factual sentence will carry provenance to the reconciled ledger or the underlying exhibit, and the platform will flag any assertion the attorney edits in without a supporting citation before the brief is treated as complete.
- 05
The platform will anticipate the opposition: it drafts the predominance and manageability sections to pre-empt the employer’s individualized-inquiry and ascertainability attacks, leaving the attorney to decide strategy and attest to the final whole.
The AI reasons; the attorney decides.
JustineAI™ EL is on the roadmap. This describes the workload it is built to carry. When it opens, founding-firm slots go to the employment-class attorneys who told us about their practice early.
