Services

Summary judgment briefing

Draft motions for summary judgment, responses, replies, and the supporting memoranda that accompany them. The drafts are written on the record as it exists, for review and use by counsel of record.

The offering is the draft brief itself. It is not a general motion desk and not a substitute for counsel who must argue the motion.

Appellate briefing

Draft appellate briefs for licensed counsel. The site does not publish a standing list of courts or a standard page-count package. Whether a particular appeal is a fit is a question for the inquiry, not a menu selection. The draft brief itself is the product.

Turnkey Briefs does not appear in court or present oral argument.

Counsel's responsibility

Licensed counsel directs the work, reviews it, verifies every citation, decides what to file, and signs it. Counsel alone is responsible to the court and to the client for the work.

Counsel is also responsible for any duties that come with sending work to an outside drafting vendor. These include deciding whether the client must be told, or must consent, before confidential information is shared, and whether the arrangement or its cost must be disclosed to the client in billing. The rules on fees, confidentiality, and supervising nonlawyer help (Mississippi Rules of Professional Conduct 1.5, 1.6, and 5.3, or their counterparts where counsel is licensed) and ABA Formal Opinion 08-451 on outsourcing legal work address these duties.
