Law enforcement identified the need.

We built CourtPacket with them.

The legal context behind the complaint, close at hand.

CourtPacket brings charge information, applicable statutory language, and available model jury instructions into the complaint-drafting workflow—so officers can review relevant information without moving between separate references.

Officers remain responsible for choosing the charges and documenting the facts. CourtPacket keeps the supporting legal material visible throughout that work.

Designed to support better preparation.

Search with context

Broad coverage, focused results.

Search charges by name or citation and narrow the results using relevant filters.

CourtPacket helps officers find and review the available information. The officer decides which charges to select.

Fact areas, not conclusions

Relevant context, close at hand.

Where available, charge-specific guidance helps officers consider the facts that may need to be documented in their own words.

It does not determine probable cause or declare that legal elements have been satisfied.
