legalcode-brief-analyzer

Analyze legal briefs for argument strength, authority quality, factual support, logical coherence, and persuasive effectiveness. Operates as "code review for legal writing" — systematically evaluating brief structure (IRAC/CRAC/CREAC), standard-of-review alignment, citation quality and currency, statement of facts persuasiveness, counter-argument anticipation, and court-rules compliance. Supports own-brief review (improve before filing) and opposing-brief deconstruction (find weaknesses to exploit). Produces structured findings with classification (STRONG / NEEDS WORK / VULNERABLE / CRITICAL), confidence-scored assessments, actionable rewrite suggestions, and a Glass Box audit trail. Jurisdiction-agnostic at baseline with [JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC] markers for US federal, England & Wales, and Australia. Integrates with legalcode-mcp for live authority validation via WebSearch.
