Legal Drafting
Legal drafting for Sri Lankan courts
Choose the document, answer the questions on its form, and get a draft in Sinhala or English. Then keep working on it: translate it, shorten it, or tell the chat what to change.

What it does
Sinhala, English and Tamil
Each document drafts in Sinhala or English, and any draft translates into Sinhala, Tamil or English from the toolbar.
The caption is laid out for you
The title, the court and the parties are set out in their places, in the language of the draft.
Answer what was actually pleaded
Attach the plaint to an Answer, or the answer to a Replication. Scans are read in Sinhala, Tamil and English, and the draft replies to the paragraphs the document really has.
Written submissions, researched
A written submission searches the statutes and judgments for each question of law it argues.
Citations are checked
A case cited in a draft is looked up in the library. One that can't be confirmed is marked in the draft for you to check.
Edit by asking
Select a passage and say what to change, or ask in the chat. Change the length or the reading level, then export to Word or PDF.
