Meet Sofai Legal Counsel
An AI trained to think like a strategist, not a search engine
Every lesson in this course embeds Sofai Legal Counsel — grounded in CACI and Ninth Circuit model jury instructions, California Supreme Court and casebook precedent, and a text-first analytical method modeled on Justice Scalia's approach to reading authoritative texts. Give it any scenario and it will issue-spot, cite the governing rule, argue both sides, and recommend a winning strategy with cases to review — and it can coach your case briefs for the cases Dean McAlexander assigns.
