Built so Utah's courts can hear everyone.

Utah-native legal help for pro se and low-bono litigants. Every filing runs through the full URCP compliance gate. Every citation is verified against 28,541 Utah opinions before it reaches a judge. Fabricated case law is blocked at the database layer — not flagged downstream. Same pipeline that paid counsel uses, available free at benchslap.com.

28,541

Utah opinions (1861–2026)

8,968

Utah dispositions pre-extracted

Utah landmark authorities pinned

Fabricated citations, lifetime

The three frustrations we built this to fix

URCP 26(c)(5)

Discovery tier errors

Protective-order motions driven by wrong-tier interrogatory counts. BenchSlap resolves the tier and numeric limits in one call, pulled directly from the rule database. Pro se litigants stop guessing; court staff stop re-routing.

URCP 26.1

Missing Rule 26.1 disclosures

Commissioners name this the #1 driver of OSC motions. BenchSlap auto-generates the full checklist for the specific case type (divorce, custody, paternity, modification, support) and flags what's required vs. situational.

URCP 7 + 10

Structurally bad filings

Captions, titles, Rule 7 notice, signatures — all verified in under 100ms before filing. Auditor tool extends this to the full URCP 7/8/9/10/11/101 gate plus citation verification via AEGIS.

What the verification pipeline actually guarantees

AEGIS content-hash pinning. Every Utah authority carries a SHA-256 hash + 5-gram shingle signature. Hallucinated holdings fail containment and hard-block at the gate — not get flagged afterward.
AEGIS Prime structural facts. Disposition (affirmed / reversed / vacated), panel vote, binding weight, and superseded-by links pre-extracted for the Utah corpus. A brief that claims a reversed case was affirmed blocks before it reaches the court.
Five-tier verification. Local cache → utcourts.gov → CourtListener → Caselaw Access Project → multi-AI peer review. Every citation is resolved at the strongest available tier.
URCP compliance gate. Rule 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 101 structural checks run on every draft. Failed rules auto-correct or stop the filing.
Tamper-evident audit log. User actions are hash-chained. Every filing's provenance is reconstructible.

"The hardest thing about hearing pro se litigants is not that they speak — it's that the filings don't meet the court where it is."
