Open source is a real, appealing option — no per-seat bill, and your stack stays yours. Credit where it's due: these are good projects, and one even wires in a case-law lookup. But the tool still leans on the model to write and, mostly, to check its own work — and a model grading its own citations will still let a confident, wrong one through onto your filing, where the sanction is yours alone. DocPost verifies independently: a deterministic check of every citation and quote against real authority, and your own signed paper as the standard every draft is held to.

Open source has real advantages, and we've checked every one honestly. Then look at everything else a legal team needs to get work out the door — and see how much of it a free download leaves on your plate.
Even the open-source tool that looks up case law still leans on the model to decide what to check and how to read the result — the model grading its own work. DocPost verifies independently and deterministically: it audits the finished document against real authority, with no model in the loop to trust.
Before a filing leaves your desk, you see which authorities are real and quoted accurately — and which ones you can't stand behind. Draft anywhere; put your name only on citations that hold. See the sanctions on the record.
Your best signed agreements become the yardstick every new draft is measured against — so the work sounds like your firm and holds your positions, instead of a stranger's boilerplate.
