AI-Enabled Briefing Assistant
Description
Federal Programs Branch (FPB) attorneys face overwhelming records and pressure to maintain consistent arguments across circuits. FPB faces immense workloads defending statutes and federal programs, often requiring rapid analysis of massive records and consistent legal arguments across circuits. This initiative will deploy a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) tool trained on DOJ filings and administrative records to accelerate drafting and ensure consistency. It directly aligns with E.O. 14179 (removing barriers to AI adoption) and OMB M-25-21 (innovation, governance, and public trust).
