Understanding Law Credits

Law Credits are the internal “currency” that powers all AI actions within ProPlaintiff.ai, similar to how data tokens or processing units work in other AI-driven software systems.

Each time you use an AI feature, such as generating a Demand Letter, Medical Chronology, or Document Summary, the system consumes a certain number of Law Credits based on the amount of data processed and the complexity of the request.

In simple terms:

The more pages or data you upload, the more credits are required.

How many credits am I using?

Smaller tasks like short summaries or quick paralegal queries use fewer credits.

Larger, multi-document tasks such as full Demand Letters or Medical Chronologies use more credits.

This credit-based system ensures you pay only for what you use. Each credit represents a small portion of the computing cost required to process your request, much like how cloud-based AI services measure data and processing usage.

Law Credits as Billable Events

Every AI action that consumes Law Credits within ProPlaintiff.ai represents measurable work completed on behalf of your client. Because each Law Credit directly correlates with computing effort and task complexity, these costs can be treated as billable case expenses.

You can view your AI case cost break down from the case overview page.

Firms can easily export Law Credit usage per case, attach it to billing records, and pass those expenses through to clients as itemized case costs. This approach maintains transparency, ensures accurate recovery of AI-assisted work, and aligns with existing accounting practices used for outsourced or digital services.

By treating Law Credits as billable events, firms not only improve cost recovery but also highlight the efficiency and precision that AI adds to their legal workflows.

When combined with ProPlaintiff’s integrated time tracking and billing tools, firms gain a complete picture of AI and human effort, making it easier than ever to account for every billable hour and expense.
