Frequently asked questions
What is maplelaw?
maplelaw is a private legal AI agent workspace built for Canadian lawyers. It organizes documents and saved AI conversations by matter, grounds answers in the lawyer's files, researches Canadian law, and creates editable legal drafts.
What can maplelaw do with matter documents?
Lawyers can upload or email documents into a matter, organize them in folders, preview supported files, and attach selected records to an AI conversation. maplelaw can use OCR for scanned or oversized PDFs and ground its analysis in the material the lawyer provides.
Can maplelaw generate Word and PDF legal documents?
Yes. maplelaw can turn a conversation into a formatted Word or PDF draft, including agreements, letters, memoranda and court documents. Drafts created in a saved matter are filed in that matter's Drafts folder.
How does the email inbox for each matter work?
Each matter can have its own intake address. Clients, counsel and staff can send or forward documents to that address, and accepted attachments are filed into the matter's Email folder with their source information.
Does all maplelaw data stay in Canada?
The application, database, matter documents and inbound matter email are designed for Canadian infrastructure. Model inference uses a cross-region profile, so prompts and attached document text may be processed in a United States region. Optional research also sends the search query to a search provider.
Is customer content used to train AI models?
No. Customer prompts, documents and messages are not used to train maplelaw, public or third-party models. Saved matter sessions persist until deleted, while quick chats are not written to maplelaw's database.
Can maplelaw research Canadian case law?
Yes. When research is configured, maplelaw can search CanLII for Canadian cases and legislation and can search the web for current information. Lawyers must still open the primary source and verify every citation before relying on it.
Is maplelaw a substitute for a lawyer's professional judgment?
No. maplelaw is an assistant to counsel. Lawyers remain responsible for verifying citations, reviewing work product, protecting confidentiality, and meeting the rules that apply in their province or territory.
