Bundle of Authorities Autobot

Upload a draft submission. The Autobot reads its footnotes and builds the Bundle of Authorities as a Word document: the cover page, the index, and a tab for every authority, with the cited passages highlighted where the text is publicly available.

Reads

The footnotes only

Exhibits and records of proceedings are set aside.

Checks

Every cited paragraph

Singapore judgments, against eLitigation.

Never

Invents text

An authority it can’t verify gets a placeholder sheet.

Needs JavaScript

The Autobot runs in the page, so it needs JavaScript. The open-source version runs on your own computer instead.

Upload the draft submission

Before you start

Don’t upload anything confidential. Use a draft with no confidential or privileged information in it.
Your draft isn’t kept. It is processed on Google Cloud and deleted as soon as its footnotes have been read. The finished bundle is deleted as soon as it has downloaded.
This is not legal advice. Nothing in this tool, or in the bundle it produces, is legal advice. Check every entry and every placeholder sheet before you file.

I have read and accept the terms of use.

Set the order of the index

A to Z within each section

Sections appear in the index in this order. Within each section, authorities are sorted letter by letter.

Combine foreign cases and foreign statutes as “Foreign Authorities” Combine Singapore statutes and regulations as “Statutes & Statutory Instruments”

Review the authorities

Untick anything that shouldn’t be in the bundle, and correct a tier if it’s wrong. Checking looks up each Singapore judgment with a neutral citation on eLitigation and confirms that every cited paragraph exists. Only the citations are sent, never your draft. Legislation, foreign authorities and books aren’t looked up yet, so they get placeholder sheets.
