When using Draft in Lexlegis, the first step is to choose whether you want to create a document in response to something or create a fresh first-time draft.
You will see two options:
- Reactive Drafting
- Proactive Drafting
Understanding the difference helps you select the correct workflow.
1. What is Reactive Drafting?
Reactive drafting is used when you are responding to an existing legal document.
This includes:
- Replying to a notice
- Responding to a petition
- Filing a counter or written statement
- Replying to a legal communication
In this mode, you must select the document you are responding to.
The system will:
- Analyse the uploaded document
- Extract relevant facts and context
- Structure the draft as a response
Reactive drafting is ideal when your document depends on an existing filing or notice.
2. What is Proactive Drafting?
Proactive drafting is used when you are creating a new legal document from scratch.
This includes:
- Agreements
- Contracts
- Petitions
- Applications
- Legal notices
- Policies
In this mode, you are not responding to any document.
The system will:
- Use your instructions
- Apply selected templates (if any)
- Follow clauses or rulebooks you specify
Proactive drafting is best for first-instance documents.
