The DocketRouter legal model
Every request through DocketRouter passes through our legal model before the enterprise model answers: it retrieves the on-point Texas and Federal rules, pulls related Texas opinions from our full-text index, verifies every citation against CourtListener, and briefs the enterprise model on exactly what was found and what was not. A local Qwen 27B will take over the reasoning steps of that layer as it comes online. The benchmarks measure the same enterprise model with and without it.
What goes in
- Federal Rules of Civil Procedure: 395 chunks
- Federal Rules of Evidence: 95 chunks
- Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure: 105 chunks
- Texas Rules of Civil Procedure: 937 chunks
- Texas Rules of Evidence: 122 chunks
- Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure: 354 chunks
- Texas opinion index: online
- CourtListener: case search + citation lookup
What the model gets
- Verbatim rule text, cited by short cite
- Related opinions with dates and links
- Citation verdicts: found, not found, ambiguous, unverified
- Guardrails: never invent a case; say when unverified
The feedback loop
- Every answer carries its sources and exact cost
- HLL 0.1-TX grades raw vs juiced per model
- Results tune routing (best model per task) and retrieval weights
- Nothing is claimed that a run did not measure
