How It Works

Three steps from your argument to a response in the selected justice’s real oral argument style.

1

Present Your Argument

Write a legal argument as you would present it to the Court during oral argument.

2

Search Real Exchanges

Your argument is searched against thousands of real oral argument transcripts to find the most relevant exchanges.

3

Response in Their Voice

JudgeLens generates a response in the selected justice's style, grounded in the actual exchanges most relevant to your argument.

What Makes This Different

Tested head-to-head against ChatGPT on the same legal arguments. Here’s what transcript-grounded simulation captures that generic AI misses.

Cross-Examiner, Not Law Professor

ChatGPT writes like a law professor delivering a treatise. JudgeLens captures each justice's conversational cross-examination style — measured from real transcripts.

JudgeLens

"Well, counsel, let me ask you something about that 'neutral and generally applicable' characterization, because I'm not sure the ordinance earns that description quite as easily as you suggest."

ChatGPT

"Neutrality is not merely facial neutrality. We have said that a law lacks neutrality if it targets religious conduct either overtly or through its operation."

Vivid Hypotheticals, Not Abstract Ones

JudgeLens hypotheticals are anchored in specific, everyday scenes — just like the real justices use. Too real to dismiss.

JudgeLens

"Suppose someone is being stalked. She has gone to the police, they've told her there's nothing they can do tonight, she genuinely fears for her life, and she goes to a licensed dealer to purchase a firearm for self-defense. Under your regulation, she has to wait 48 hours. What is your answer to her?"

ChatGPT

"For someone facing an immediate need for self-defense — say, a credible threat — is a mandatory delay consistent with the core right recognized in Heller?"

Escalation Staircases

Real justices don't ask one question and stop. They build a staircase — each step tighter than the last, driving toward a forced choice.

JudgeLens

"If 48 hours is reasonable, is 30 days reasonable? Is six months reasonable? At what point does a waiting period become a ban in practical effect?"

ChatGPT

"How do you respond to those concerns?"

Grounded in Real Cases

Every response draws from actual oral argument exchanges. JudgeLens reads the justice's real words from relevant cases before responding.

Fulton v. Philadelphia (2020)United States v. Rahimi (2023)McDonald v. Chicago (2009)Relentless v. Dept. of Commerce (2023)

See It in Action

Each justice responds differently. Here’s Justice Alito on the Second Amendment — try another justice and topic in the simulator to see the difference.

The Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms, and this regulation infringes on that right without sufficient justification.

Justice Alito

Well, counsel, I’m going to take your characterization at face value, but let me press you on the specifics. Suppose someone is being stalked. She has gone to the police, they’ve told her there’s nothing they can do tonight, she genuinely fears for her life, and she goes to a licensed dealer to purchase a firearm for self-defense. Under your regulation, she has to wait 48 hours. What is your answer to her?

And if 48 hours is reasonable, is 30 days reasonable? Is six months reasonable? At what point does a waiting period become a ban in practical effect?
