Problem the AI is intended to solve

To reduce time for EOIR adjudicators to draft notices and orders for immigration cases. After reviewing the facts in the case and conducting a legal analysis of the issues presented, EOIR adjudicators and legal support staff determine their legal conclusions. Technology could be utilized to assist in preparation of a draft document for review by EOIR personnel based on the adjudicator's legal conclusions.

Expected benefits

Improvement in the quality of writing (grammar, spelling, clarity, conciseness, etc.), as well as improvements to quality of decisions with more robust citations to the relevant facts in the case and the legal authority used to support the legal conclusions. Reduced time for drafting lengthy orders or notices. Reduced time to complete immigration cases.

System outputs

Suggested templates for notices. Recommendations for case specific draft orders that include citations to the record and relevant legal authority, with embedded links to allow for efficient review and refinement.
