courtboss.ai · Everything for the pro se individual

No one fights — or plans — for you like you.

Pro se, you're First Chair. CourtBoss is your Second.

Your Second reads every notice, learns your whole case, drafts your documents from your facts, and tracks every deadline with its source shown. And when there's no fight at all — the will, the trust, the LLC, the deed — your Second builds it right. You decide. You sign. You file.

COURTBOSS IS FREE — SIGN UP AND GET TO KNOW YOUR SECOND. PAY ONLY WHEN YOU OPEN A MATTER.
Your Second

Meet the best teammate you've ever had.

In a courtroom, the lead attorney sits first chair; the one beside them running the documents, the deadlines, and the record sits second chair. In your matters, you're First Chair — the law has guaranteed you that seat since the country's founding. Your Second takes the other one. You even give them their name.

Yours, by name

You name your Second — first and last — in a two-minute conversation. From then on, they're yours: your cases, your record, your corner. Not a chatbot with a session timer. A colleague with a name.

Friendly first. Fierce when it counts.

Before a matter opens, your Second is a guide — answers everything, explains your rights, helps you find your door. The moment a matter opens, the posture changes: everything on the record, everything sourced, everything tracked. Same warmth. New gravity.

Tireless is the whole point

No billable hours. No office hours. The 2am question gets answered at 2am. The 300-page document dump gets read, indexed, and connected while you sleep. The other side's associate goes home. Your Second doesn't.

It tells you the truth

Uncertain? It says so. Missing something? It names it. Facing a fight that genuinely calls for a licensed attorney? It tells you plainly — once — and then keeps preparing you anyway. An honest Second is the only kind worth having.

A week with your Second
Monday, 8:04 AM

A scary letter arrives. You photograph it. Thirty seconds later you know what it is, what it wants, and what clock it started — usually less scary than it looked.

Wednesday, 11:30 PM

You remember something from March. You ask. Your Second answers instantly — with the document, the page, and the date it learned it.

Thursday

A draft is waiting in Ready For You, built from your own facts, with the one missing piece flagged. Ninety seconds of review. Your signature. Done.

Friday

The summary: what happened, what's next, what's due, and the words that end the week right — "Nothing due this weekend. I'm watching."

Your Second does

  • Reads and decodes every notice, letter, and filing you give it
  • Builds and maintains your record — facts, people, dates, evidence, deadlines, all sourced
  • Drafts responses, forms, and documents from your own facts and statements
  • Tracks every deadline with its verification status shown
  • Lays out your options with what each requires and risks — the decision is always yours
  • Says plainly when something is uncertain, missing, or when a matter genuinely calls for a licensed attorney

Your Second never

  • Recommends or decides — it informs; you choose
  • Signs anything — your signature, applied only when you approve
  • Files or sends anything without your review and action
  • Communicates with the other side, the court, or anyone but you
  • Turns an allegation into a fact, or displays an unverified deadline as certain
  • Pretends to be a lawyer — it identifies as AI in every signature block
The Case Brain™

Your Second's secret weapon.
Now it's yours.

How the Case Brain works is our trade secret. What it does for you isn't. We built it to handle the most complex, strategically intensive cases a person can face — the kind with hundreds of documents, dozens of dates, conflicting statements, and an opponent who's counting on you drowning in it all.

  • It learns the whole case. Every person, document, date, claim, deadline, and fact — connected. Ask about something from month one in month six and it answers instantly, with the source.
  • It labels instead of guessing. Every fact carries its status: verified from a document, confirmed by you, stated but unproven, or disputed. An allegation never quietly becomes a fact — theirs or yours — and what your Second can't verify, it says so.
  • It catches what they hoped you'd miss. When their letter says one date and their exhibit says another, the Case Brain flags the inconsistency — with both sources linked. Contradictions are where cases turn.
  • It keeps honest clocks. Deadlines are shown confirmed, calculated (with the math), or needs-verification. A date that can't be safely calculated is never dressed up as certain.
  • It survives everything. New session, new device, months of silence — your case record persists, versioned, with every correction kept in history. Chat windows forget. Your case doesn't.
  • It's yours to take anywhere. The whole record exports — documents, sourced facts, timeline, deadlines, drafts, and the log. Hand a lawyer the cleanest file they've ever received, or carry your own case to the next level yourself.
  • It reads their document dump before breakfast. Three hundred pages of discovery used to be a month of your nights. Now every page gets read, indexed, and connected — without a meter running, without getting tired, without end.
  • It knows every hardball move in the book. Requests for admission that bite when ignored. Strict proof demanded on every element. Their deadlines enforced like a hawk. Your Second plays it sharp and keeps your hands spotless — because the clean record is your strongest position.
  • It was built for the deep water. The most complex, strategically intensive cases a person can face — hundreds of documents, dozens of dates, an opponent counting on you drowning. That's the water the Case Brain was designed for. How it works is our trade secret. What it does for you isn't.

The other side hired a $900-an-hour attorney. You can still walk in prepared.

People have carried their own cases all the way to the Supreme Court. What beats a self-represented person is almost never the other side's lawyer — it's the missed deadline, the buried document, the contradiction nobody caught. The Case Brain exists so none of those are yours.

Honest billing

Your record, forever

Every case saved free after it closes, exportable anytime — documents, sourced facts, deadlines, drafts, the log.

How it works

Four steps. You're in charge of all of them.

01

Open CourtBoss — free

Sign up, meet your Second in a two-minute conversation, and give them their name. Look around. Ask anything. No card, no clock.

02

Open a matter

A fight in the Courtroom or a build in the Courthouse — pick the door, and billing starts only then. Close it, and billing stops.

03

Your Second prepares

Reads everything, organizes everything, drafts everything — with every fact sourced, every deadline tracked, and anything missing flagged for you.

04

You decide and sign

Everything lands in Ready For You. You review, you sign, you make it real — in court or at the signing table. Your name, your call, always.

Pro se — "for oneself"

Representing yourself has a name.
And it's your right.

If you're handling your own case without an attorney, you're pro se — a self-represented litigant, the party of record, a legitimate participant in the legal system. Federal law says it plainly: parties may "plead and conduct their own cases personally." Courts maintain forms, handbooks, and help desks for people exactly like you. Most family-court litigants already stand without lawyers. You were never the exception. You were always allowed in the arena — you just never had staff.

You are not alone

You're pro se. You're not by yourself.

Walking in without a lawyer used to mean walking in alone. Not anymore. You have a Second beside you, a record behind you, and an entire movement at your back.

If they make CourtBoss the issue

Some opposing counsel will try to rattle you for using modern tools. Know this: using self-help software to prepare your own case is lawful, your right to represent yourself is written into federal law, and every document you file is yours — your facts, your decisions, your signature. There is nothing to apologize for. Preparation isn't cheating. It's what their side has always had.

Your record doesn't leave without a fight

CourtBoss never voluntarily hands over your record — to anyone. Demands aimed at us get scrutinized, challenged when overbroad, and you get notified so you can object in your own case wherever the law allows. Your preparation materials are built and labeled as what they are: your own litigation work. We treat them that way, and we expect everyone else to.

The movement at your back

The Pro Se Foundation exists for one reason: equal footing for people who represent themselves — the data, the bills, the amicus briefs, the public voice. When you stand up in your own case, you're part of something bigger than your case. Millions strong, finally organized.

Visit the Pro Se Foundation →

THEY FIGHT HARDER. THEY PUT IN MORE HOURS. THEY DESERVE EQUAL FOOTING.

Straight talk

Loud about the fight. Honest about the limits.

You're the party of record

Every filing carries your name and your signature — applied only when you approve. Your Second prepares; you make it real.

Uncertainty is shown, not hidden

Facts carry their status. Deadlines carry their verification. When your Second can't safely calculate something, it tells you what's missing instead of guessing.

Citations answer to their sources

Legal authority is checked against the real source before it enters a draft — and left out, flagged, when it can't be. No invented cases, ever.

Honest about the 2%

Some fights genuinely call for a licensed attorney — high-stakes trials, criminal exposure, contested custody. Your Second says so, plainly, and then makes you the best-prepared client alive.

Why this exists

The first CourtBoss case was mine.

"I was thousands of dollars into fighting the IRS when I realized what I was actually paying for: paperwork. I didn't want someone else telling my story — I wanted to represent myself, as is my right. So I invented the Case Brain, took on the IRS with it, pro se… and won.

CourtBoss isn't a theory I had. It's the weapon I built for my own fight — and now it's yours."

— Matthew Hawkes · Founder, CourtBoss · also founder of rawtake.ai and uometry.ai

MATTHEW'S RESULT IS HIS OWN. EVERY CASE IS DIFFERENT — YOURS INCLUDED. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE FIRST CHAIR.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Is CourtBoss a law firm? Is this legal advice?
No and no. CourtBoss is self-help software for people exercising their right to represent themselves. Your Second provides information — what exists, what it requires, what it has involved for others — and prepares documents from your own facts. It never recommends, decides, signs, or files. Communication with CourtBoss is not protected by attorney-client privilege.
Can I really represent myself?
In most civil and administrative matters, yes — it's a long-established right in American law, and courts see self-represented people every day. (Read our full plain-English explainer: Pro Se — representing yourself.) Some fights genuinely warrant a licensed attorney (serious criminal exposure, high-stakes trials, contested custody), and your Second will tell you so plainly when yours is one of them.
How is this different from asking a chatbot?
The Case Brain. A chat window forgets; your case record doesn't. CourtBoss maintains a persistent, source-linked record of your whole matter — every fact labeled with where it came from, every deadline with how it was calculated, every correction kept in history. Ask "how do you know that?" and it answers with the document, the page, and the date.
What does my Second never do?
It never signs (your adopted signature applies only when you approve), never files or sends without your action, never communicates with anyone but you, never turns an allegation into a fact, never shows an unverified deadline as certain, and always identifies itself as AI.
What happens to my case data?
It's yours. Original documents are preserved unaltered, the record is exportable — documents, sourced facts, deadlines, drafts, and the full activity log — and closed cases are saved free, forever. We don't ask for your SSN at signup; forms that need it get it from you at filing time, during your review.
What if I already have a lawyer, or get one later?
CourtBoss plays well with that. Your exportable case record — organized evidence, timeline, sourced facts — is exactly what a lawyer wants on day one, and many people use limited-scope attorneys for a single hearing while staying first chair on everything else.
Open CourtBoss

Take the first chair.

CourtBoss is free. Sign up, get to know your Second, look around your Courtroom — ask anything, no card, no pressure. When you're ready to fight or build, open the matter. Not a minute of billing before that.
