Frequently asked questions

What documents do I need to upload to generate a preliminary injunction motion?

At minimum, upload your complaint and any case documents establishing the factual background and procedural posture. For best results, also include evidence of irreparable harm (financial records, expert reports, communications), relevant contracts or agreements, and any supporting declarations. CaseMark will analyze these documents to extract facts, identify the jurisdiction and legal standards, and craft a comprehensive motion tailored to your specific case.

How does CaseMark handle different jurisdictional standards for preliminary injunctions?

CaseMark identifies your court and jurisdiction from uploaded case documents, then applies the correct legal standard—whether the federal Winter four-factor test, state-specific variations, or specialized standards for particular claim types. The AI researches controlling circuit or state court precedent and structures the motion to address the specific requirements and burden of proof in your jurisdiction, including any sliding-scale approaches or presumptions that apply.

Can CaseMark draft motions for temporary restraining orders or emergency relief?

Yes. CaseMark can generate motions for preliminary injunctions, temporary restraining orders, or combined TRO/preliminary injunction requests. The AI will address expedited consideration procedures, explain why emergency relief is necessary, and include appropriate requests for shortened response times or ex parte consideration when circumstances warrant immediate court intervention before a full hearing.

How does the AI demonstrate irreparable harm in the motion?

CaseMark analyzes your uploaded documents to identify and extract evidence of threatened harm—including financial data, market analysis, customer communications, or expert opinions. The AI then crafts persuasive arguments explaining why the harm is imminent, cannot be adequately remedied by monetary damages, and falls within categories recognized as irreparable in your jurisdiction, supported by relevant case law and specific factual evidence from your case materials.

Will the motion be formatted correctly for my specific court?

Yes. CaseMark generates motions with proper captions including complete party names, case numbers, and court designations. The AI formats the document according to standard court requirements and includes signature blocks, certificates of service, and procedural elements. While you should verify local rule compliance for your specific court, CaseMark provides a court-ready foundation that meets professional litigation standards.
