Daily Challenges

  • First-pass research on a new matter consuming hours before the real analysis begins
  • Checking whether a decision a colleague cited actually says what they think it says
  • Contract review that needs the governing legislation checked clause by clause
  • Client questions that need a considered written answer today
  • Supervision obligations that make unreviewed AI output unusable
  • Client material that cannot leave Australia or be retained by a tool provider

How Cassandra Helps

Cited First-Pass Research

Research drafts with references to Commonwealth and state sources for independent checking

Contract Review

Clause-level review against the applicable statute and case law

Drafting for Review

Research memos and advice frameworks structured for a supervising practitioner

Data Handling

Review the Privacy Policy for provider processing, overseas disclosures, retention and access requests

Practical Workflow Examples

  • New commercial dispute: ask for the elements and leading authorities on the cause of action, receive the statute and decisions cited, then read the authorities directly
  • Contract review: check a limitation-of-liability clause against the Australian Consumer Law and relevant decisions, with the provisions cited
  • Advice letter: draft the framework with the authorities named, then apply judgement and sign off
  • Verifying a citation: confirm what a decision actually held before relying on it in a submission

Why Generic AI Falls Short

  • Consumer AI fabricates case citations — Australian courts have sanctioned practitioners for filing them
  • Any AI workflow needs supervision and a clear review process
  • Client material pasted into it may leave Australia and be retained
  • Assess the tool, data handling and verification process against your professional obligations

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Cassandra Research is a software company. Outputs are research drafts citing their sources; the legal judgement and sign-off remain with the admitted practitioner.

Check each cited decision exists, supports the proposition and remains relevant. A citation in an AI draft does not establish that the answer is reliable.

Yes — state legislation and state Supreme Court and Court of Appeal decisions alongside Commonwealth and Federal and High Court authority. Depth varies by practice area.

AI, hosting and other service providers process information to deliver the service; recipients may be outside Australia. Review the Privacy Policy and Trust Center before entering client material.
