Can Sera make legal decisions?

No — Sera helps you organize and prepare. Legal decisions remain with you and qualified counsel.

Overview

Sera is an AI case assistant inside SeraCase. She can explain materials in plain language, organize documents, suggest next steps, and highlight gaps. She does not make legal decisions, file documents for you, or tell you what a court will do.

Why this feature exists

Clear boundaries prevent over-reliance on AI at moments when judgment and licensed advice matter most.

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Use Sera for preparation

    Ask questions, review recommendations, and organize Timeline and Evidence.

  2. 2

    Verify important facts in sources

    Open documents before acting on dates, obligations, or quotes.

  3. 3

    Take legal decisions to a lawyer

    Strategy, filings, negotiations, and advice belong with a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction.

Best practices

  • Phrase Sera’s help as preparation notes when talking with counsel.
  • Read the AI disclaimer so expectations stay aligned.

Productivity tips

  • Ask Sera to draft questions for your lawyer, then edit them yourself.

Common mistakes

  • Treating a recommendation as a required legal instruction.
  • Skipping counsel because Insights looked confident.

Frequently asked questions

What decisions can I make with Sera’s help?

Practical preparation choices — what to upload next, which gaps to chase, how to organize a timeline — while legal strategy stays with you and your lawyer.

Does high evidence strength mean I should proceed a certain way?

No. Strength guides preparation inside the product. It is not a legal ruling or advice.
