Court Decision Summarizer
A court decision can run dozens of pages, and what an attorney actually needs — the holding, the relief granted, the reasoning, and the deadline to respond — sits buried in formal legal prose. This assistant reads each ruling end to end, writes a plain-language summary, classifies the disposition, and extracts any amounts awarded and the dates that start the clock. You get the outcome and what it means first, not after a full read.

How it works
- You upload a court decision, order, or judgment — typically a multi-page PDF — for a matter you're handling.
- The assistant reads the full document, identifies the disposition and the court's reasoning, and extracts any relief, monetary amounts, and response deadlines.
- It writes a concise summary, classifies the outcome, and lists the holdings and dates that need action.
- Each decision is logged as one row — summary, disposition, holdings, relief and deadlines — so you can scan a matter's rulings at a glance.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Court Decision Summarizer work?
You upload a court decision PDF, and the assistant reads it, identifies the disposition, reasoning, relief, and deadlines, then writes a plain-language summary and logs it as a row in your workspace.
Do I need to write any code to use this?
No, you simply upload the PDF file and the assistant does the rest — no coding or setup required.
Does it automatically send summaries or alerts?
No, it only drafts the summary and extracts key details; you review and approve everything before relying on it.
Can I customize the summary format or what it extracts?
The assistant follows a fixed structure — summary, disposition, holdings, relief, and deadlines — but you can edit the output directly in your workspace.
Which apps does it connect to?
It works within Gaia's native table and doesn't connect to any external apps, so your decisions stay in your workspace.
