Real outputEach page was generated by VaFL Drafts in the app’s default formatting. The firm, parties, case numbers and details in these samples are fictional and for illustration only; they are not based on any actual matter, and any resemblance to real persons or cases is coincidental.
Discovery that comes back filled in
Leave room for the answer.
Export it as a fillable PDF.
Interrogatories, requests for production and requests for admission leave a reply space under each request. Save As → fillable PDF turns every space into a typing area with a continuation check box beneath it, so opposing counsel or a party can type their responses straight into the PDF. No raw document or editable file changes hands.
- Space where it belongs. Each answer field sits under its own request, sized to the room you left.
- More to say? Check the box. The note names the answer that continues on a separate page, so the continuation stays tied to its request.
- Nothing to retype. The returned PDF carries the answers in named fields, ready to read, print or file.
01
Bring your own templates
Import .docx and native .vad templates, use merge fields and conditional content, and keep your firm’s drafting style.
02
Generate one or a batch
Use matter-driven generation, reusable letter templates, or Quick Draft when you need a document before opening a matter.
03
Review, refine, deliver
Check missing fields and the generated draft. Continue structured editing in VaFL Drafts and prepare the appropriate DOCX or PDF output.

Living Child-Interest Advocacy Workbook

The drafting companion
VaFL Drafts handles the document’s structure.
Captions, numbered paragraphs, signature blocks, and certificates of service are document elements you can edit, rather than formatting you have to rebuild.

DAILY PRACTICE
Prepare the case.
Practice the craft.
Make a few minutes between matters count. Four practice areas live inside VaFL Toolkit: narrated reflections, litigation and client-work reps, communication exercises, and trial drills built from courtroom transcripts. Every screen below is real and comes from the beta our early-access testers are using right now — we’re still refining the details, so the finished version may look a little different.
190exercises across litigation, client work and communication
284trial-drill scenarios in 88 packs
4Beyond the Brief reflections to read or hear
5–14 mina rep or a reflection, between matters
Beyond the Brief
Grow as a person, not just as a practitioner.
Longer, slower pieces on judgment, mindset and character, written to be read or listened to like a short podcast on the way in. Each reflection carries its narration, a running time and a place to mark it read, so a quiet commute becomes part of the practice.
- Read or listen, about twelve to fourteen minutes
- Star a piece to come back to
- Mark as read to keep your place
The Beyond the Brief library 
Opening a reflection: The Teller and the Machine Litigation exercises & client work
Record one rep, review it honestly, repeat.
Seventy-two short exercises for the work itself: motions and arguments, examinations, client conversations and GAL reps. Filter by theme and cadence, open one, listen to the spoken lesson, then practise the way it tells you to.
- Themes from clarity and voice to courtroom presence and negotiation
- Daily, weekly or before a hearing
- A spoken lesson, what you are practising, and how
Litigation exercises & client work 
Opening a rep: the Blank-Proof Argument Drill Communication exercises
Clearer conversations with clients, counsel and the court.
A hundred and eighteen exercises, with a focus for each week of the programme. Each one names what you are practising, gives the words to try, and lets you record a rep and review it honestly.
- This week's practice focus, fourteen weeks deep
- Negotiation, client connection, courtroom presence and more
- Five to seven minutes each
Communication exercises, week 14 of 14 
Opening a rep: Agree on the Task Before the Disagreement Trial drills
Objection reflexes, built from courtroom transcripts.
Two hundred and eighty-four scenarios across eighty-eight packs. Practise by objection family or search the whole library, then take a scenario one exchange at a time: read it or hear it aloud, and when the moment comes, make the call.
- Hearsay, form of question, foundation, opinion, privilege and trial conduct
- A review queue and a progress view
- Your call: pause, decide, then see the answer

Optional assistance
Choose the model. Review the result.
Local models
Connect a supported local model service on your computer. Local processing requires setup and suitable hardware; the app does not require AI for its core workflow.
Cloud models
Choose a cloud provider and supply your own credentials. Selected prompts and content leave the device when you authorize a cloud request; provider terms and charges apply.
Apple on-device options
Supported Macs offer an Apple Foundation Models option. Availability depends on the OS, hardware, and enabled system services. System Writing Tools can use different processing paths.
Assist can help with writing, matter briefs, intake and income-document review, and resource suggestions. AI output can be wrong. Review proposed changes and verify sources before accepting them.
Your data, deliberate choices
Local-first does not mean every feature stays offline.
Protect the working file
The Toolkit uses an encrypted local database with operating-system key protection. VaFL Drafts working files and exported documents need your own device, backup, and access safeguards.
Connect only what you use
Optional services include Dropbox sync and sharing, Dropbox Sign, intake services, LawPay, and print-and-mail delivery. Each receives the information needed for the action you authorize.

DECIDING
Product overview
For attorneys and firm managers weighing whether VaFL Toolkit fits their practice.
- A sample matter from intake to final order
- GAL or Complete, seats, and what each includes
- Where your data lives and what stays on your computer
GETTING STARTED
Onboarding session
For new subscribers and the person setting up the firm.
- Install and sign in on each computer
- Firm profile, letterhead and your own templates
- Your first matter, documents and VaFL Drafts
STUCK ON A STEP
Integration setup
For anyone part-way through connecting a service who wants a second pair of eyes.
- Google Workspace, Dropbox, LawPay, Jotform or an AI model
- We pick up at the step that stopped you
- Tested end to end before we hang up
These calls cover the software: setup, workflow and whether it suits your practice. They are not legal advice and do not create an attorney-client relationship. Please keep client information off screen; a sample matter works well.
