Free public access organizes source-linked court procedures across all 67 counties; Premium Judge Intelligence Reports add division-specific rules and procedures, cited judicial rulings, and dual-AI cross-checking – built on a corpus of 175,000+ official Florida appellate opinions, and never an outcome prediction.

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 12, 2026 – BenchPath.ai, an independent procedural-intelligence platform built and published by LegalDraft Technologies LLC, today announced the statewide public launch of its Florida court research platform. BenchPath helps attorneys, law firms, paralegals, legal assistants, law students, legal clinics, and self-represented litigants find published court procedures and read the issuing source for themselves.

 

Florida court procedure can be highly local. Requirements may live on court and clerk websites, in administrative orders, on judge and division pages, in practice-preference documents, forms, and archived PDFs. BenchPath organizes those materials by circuit, county, court, judge or division, and case type where available, and results can be filtered by confidence. Every published entry shows its source link, citation, confidence label, and last-verified date.

 

“Florida court procedure is public, but public does not mean easy to find,” said Eric Milestone, Founder & CEO of BenchPath and a law student at Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad College of Law. “Legal research tells you what the law says, and analytics products try to estimate what could happen. BenchPath is built for the third question: what does this court require before a filing, hearing, or appearance? The goal is simple – procedures, not predictions.”

 

A verified record, with the gaps disclosed

 

As of Aug. 11, 2026, BenchPath’s live inventory held 9,521 published rules, 1,465 published judicial-officer profiles, and 685 registered sources across all 20 circuits and 67 counties. A separate verified case-law corpus held 175,812 official Florida appellate-opinion records from 2004 to the present, each collected from the courts’ own publications and stored with a SHA-256 receipt. Those opinions carry 59,685 trial-judge attributions, matched from the opinions’ own language. Judge profiles with five or more matched opinions display an appellate-outcome census – the appellate courts’ own disposition labels, shown as counts. These are changing database counts, not ratings, success rates, or predictions. Coverage depth varies by court and judge, and BenchPath publishes review status and known gaps on a public coverage ledger rather than presenting unverified material as complete.

 

One judge. One division. Cited sources.

 

The flagship Premium Judge Intelligence Report focuses on one judge and one division: verified assignment information, published division rules and procedures, action checklists, deadline tables with rule citations, local-rule conflict flags, and a source appendix. Its on-demand public case-law scan returns Bluebook-cited excerpts in the opinions’ own words, and two independent artificial-intelligence engines compare the findings, showing where they agree and where they differ. The report is printable, and it does not forecast how a judge will decide a pending matter.

 

“The product should say when the record is strong and when it is thin,” Milestone said. “BenchPath does not choose a motion, tell a user what to argue, or predict how a judge will decide. It organizes the published procedural and judicial record so the person doing the work can inspect the evidence and make the appropriate decision.”

 

Milestone founded BenchPath while in law school, after work in a Florida litigation practice kept surfacing the same gap: court and division requirements that were public record, yet scattered across dozens of official websites – and not covered by the major legal-research platforms at any price.

 

Free for the public; priced for professionals

 

The public layer is free – no payment card required: unlimited court-procedure search, source-linked rule cards, and court and judge directories spanning the circuit and county bench, with federal, appellate, and Supreme Court sections, plus motion workflow packs and checklists, a deadline calculator, judge comparison, a Florida court AI-rules tracker, a coverage map, a source registry, and a public review queue. Because most people lose procedural battles, not legal ones, free courthouse guides cover 17 case types across all 67 counties – with English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole interface chrome – explaining where the court’s published requirements can be found, never choosing a claim, form, argument, or legal strategy for the reader, and linking to court self-help resources when a matter needs individualized guidance. Premium research adds the judge and division dossiers: individual Judge Intelligence Reports are $29, the Professional plan is $99 per month, and the Firm plan is $399 per month.

 

Built for fifty states. Florida is first.

 

BenchPath’s platform and verification method were designed from the start for all fifty states – built state by state, so every lesson proven in Florida is baked into the next state from day one. The multi-state architecture is already live, Texas is next in the pipeline, and California and New York are the named candidates after it. “Florida took a season to close because we were inventing the method,” said Milestone. “The method is now a machine – every state after this gets faster. The goal is all fifty states by the end of 2026.”
