CourtReady

CourtReady is a mobile + web AI-assisted legal aid triage and deadline tracker for people handling common civil issues without a lawyer (eviction, debt collection, small claims, restraining orders). Users answer a plain-language intake that converts into a jurisdiction-specific checklist: what to file, where to file, how much it costs, and what deadlines are coming. The app generates a “hearing packet” organizer (documents to bring, questions to expect, and a script of what to say) and sends reminders via SMS for court dates and filing cutoffs. It also provides a directory of local legal aid, court self-help centers, and fee-waiver instructions, but it does not pretend to replace a lawyer. The product is realistic: it focuses on process navigation and organization, not bespoke legal advice, and it logs everything so users can show their timeline to a clinic or advocate.
