Drafting the certificate of merit before the complaint is filed.

Most jurisdictions bar a med-mal complaint until a qualified expert certifies the case has merit. Justine will pre-populate the venue certificate-of-merit or affidavit-of-merit template from the assembled record — citing the specific records and the standards in play — and confirm the statutory pre-suit threshold is met by a named consulting expert before filing. She is designed to compute the limitations and repose clock under the discovery rule and surface tolling arguments worth preserving. The certificate meets the threshold; it does not substitute for the expert judgment. The expert reviews and signs, the attorney attests.

What MM is designed to do.

1. 01

   Justine is designed to pre-populate the jurisdiction certificate-of-merit or affidavit-of-merit template from the assembled record, citing the specific records and standards in play so the consulting expert reviews a grounded draft, not a blank form.

2. 02

   The pre-suit threshold will be checked before the complaint is filed — confirming a named, qualified consulting expert of the right specialty supports each defendant and theory, in the form the venue statute demands.

3. 03

   Justine is designed to compute the limitations and repose clock under the venue discovery rule, surfacing continuing-treatment or fraudulent-concealment tolling worth preserving, so the merit filing and the statute are reconciled before service.

4. 04

   The certificate is built to meet the statutory gate, never to substitute for the expert own judgment — the expert adopts, revises, and signs the opinion; the platform does not manufacture the merit conclusion.

5. 05

   Every authority cited in support — the merit statute, the discovery-rule decision, the specialty-qualification requirement — will be grounded against CourtListener, and the completed filing remains attorney-attested work product the attorney decides to file.

The AI reasons; the attorney decides.
