Authority candidates are grouped by motion family, jurisdiction label, citation-velocity posture, and source record.
Source records: e3-b9-cl-opinion-bodies, e3-c3-citation-velocity
Defense attorneys preparing motion hearings, reply briefs, and oral argument.
Suppression and Daubert authority candidates, shown as a source register before checkout.
Motion-family authority maps for suppression, Brady/Giglio, Daubert, speedy trial, severance, detention, and outcome patterns.
Select the motion family, jurisdiction, and factual posture and get authority already sequenced into the motion structure — lead controlling authority, supporting authority, the government's likely response map, and jurisdiction notes — every case linked to its CourtListener opinion with quote context. The government's likely response to each authority is mapped alongside it — so you're briefing against their reply, not discovering it after they file. Weak or unverifiable authority is held back as a labeled gap, not dressed up as a finding.
Preview structure
What renders now is the source-backed skeleton, not a paid generated brief.
Motion-rate cues are labeled as appellate-opinion indicators rather than trial-court grant probabilities.
Source records: e3-c4-motion-outcome-rates, e3-c5-motion-outcome-circuit
Forensic modules remain tied to discipline-specific validity sources before they can be used in a paid generated brief.

Source appendix
Every preview claim points to a source URL or source record.
CourtListener criminal opinion text corpus
The preview is designed around the existing criminal opinion text corpus described in the BenchRecon data inventory.
docs/recon/e3-data-inventory.md#B9 cl_opinion_bodies [source]
Citation velocity derivative
The preview treats rising or fading authority as a source-backed signal that still requires quote-context review.
docs/recon/e3-data-inventory.md#C3 citation_velocity_criminal [source]
Motion outcome rate derivative
Motion-rate rows are preview context only and are not represented as trial-court grant predictions.
docs/recon/e3-data-inventory.md#C4 motion_outcome_rates [source]
Circuit-conditioned motion outcome derivative
Circuit labels must remain attached to every motion-rate cue before any paid brief is enabled.
docs/recon/e3-data-inventory.md#C5 motion_outcome_rates_by_circuit [source]
PCAST forensic validity report
Forensic-reliability modules cite PCAST only as a sourced authority record; counsel must verify jurisdiction-specific admissibility treatment.
