What TOAgen does

TOAgen helps litigation teams mark citations, manage citation cleanup, unify citation variants, and create more reliable Tables of Authorities, all within Microsoft Word. It improves one of the most tedious parts of legal document preparation by making the TOA workflow faster, more practical, and easier to control.

TOAgen is built specifically for Microsoft Word for Windows because that is the environment that delivers the native document automation, field behavior, and Table of Authorities capabilities the product depends on. This focus is intentional. It allows TOAgen to work closely with Word’s native TOA system and support the citation-heavy legal workflows that matter most in real legal drafting.

Why legal teams choose TOAgen

Work faster within Word’s native TOA workflow

TOAgen uses Microsoft Word’s native Table of Authorities fields end-to-end, helping teams maintain compatibility and ensure the final TOA remains fully functional in Word.

Reduce friction at the most stressful stage

TOA work often happens late in the drafting cycle, when deadlines are tight, and errors are costly. TOAgen helps teams work more efficiently during that final push.

Lower training burden

Because TOAgen stays close to Word’s native environment, attorneys and support staff can adopt it more quickly without learning a foreign citation workflow.

Improve confidence in the final TOA

TOAgen gives teams better tools to manage short cites, citation cleanup, and TOA accuracy before filing.

Built for the way legal teams actually work

TOAgen was designed for legal professionals who already live in Microsoft Word and need a better way to handle citation-heavy drafting. It fits naturally into Word-based workflows and improves the process without replacing Word’s native TOA system with a closed proprietary structure. That makes TOAgen easier to adopt, explain, and use in real legal environments.

Mark citations more efficiently

TOAgen helps users mark long citations and manage related short citations with more speed and control than Word alone.

Clean up citation issues before filing

TOAgen helps teams review short cites, fix citation variants, manage duplicates, and improve the quality of the final Table of Authorities before filing.

Unify split and variant citations

TOAgen supports both multi-part and many-to-one citation unification, helping teams consolidate citations into a single authority.

Work with Word’s native TOA system

TOAgen uses Word’s built-in Table of Authorities features to preserve compatibility with courts, colleagues, and clients.

Jurisdiction-aware citation detection

TOAgen uses jurisdictional awareness to improve how it detects and marks legal citations in Microsoft Word documents. It identifies the likely primary jurisdiction and evaluates citations throughout the document to detect additional jurisdictions that may appear as supporting authorities. This helps TOAgen apply more precise citation-detection logic within the document’s actual citation environment.

Version 1.0 currently supports citation detection and marking logic for:

Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.

Useful fallback marking outside current coverage

When a document includes citations from jurisdictions not yet fully covered in version 1.0, TOAgen still attempts to mark them usefully rather than miss them entirely. In many cases, the user can quickly edit the marked citation and manually complete the full citation text. For statute citations that include a section symbol, TOAgen can often still mark the section symbol citation and the associated statutory reference, giving the user a practical starting point for quick completion.

Go beyond TOA creation

TOAgen also supports advanced workflows, including TOA draft creation, PDF cleanup, and citation-based authority analysis, to support deeper review and strategy.

TOAgen’s AI-powered authority analysis helps legal teams get more value from the authority set already present in the document. Instead of relying on surrounding narrative text, TOAgen’s AI-related workflows use citations from the completed Table of Authorities, giving firms a more controlled, citation-focused approach to deeper review. The resulting output can include structured prompts, reports, and authority-based analysis workflows that support more strategic review.

Authority Utilization workflows

Turn a completed authority set into structured analysis and review workflows.

Citation-based AI prompt generation

Create structured prompts and report-ready outputs from the authority set itself, giving legal teams a more usable starting point for deeper review.

Analysis that stays citation-focused

TOAgen’s AI workflows use citations from the completed Table of Authorities, not the surrounding narrative text. This keeps analysis focused, controlled, and aligned with authority review.

Built for citation-heavy legal drafting

TOAgen is built for litigation teams, appellate practices, and other Word-centric legal environments that regularly prepare briefs, pleadings, motions, and other citation-heavy work product. It is especially well-suited for firms that want a more practical, less-frictional way to handle Tables of Authorities.

Litigation boutiques

A strong fit for smaller firms and teams that rely heavily on Microsoft Word and want a smoother TOA workflow.

Appellate teams

Especially useful for practices that require citation-heavy briefs and repeated Table of Authorities pressure.

Brief-heavy practices

Well-suited for teams handling frequent motions, briefs, and other authority-heavy filings in Word for Windows.

Attorneys and support staff

TOAgen supports the people who actually own the TOA process, including attorneys, paralegals, legal assistants, and document production staff.
