Claude Trellis connectorWhat Claude can do in your Trellis account.

Hands Claude the general instructions for the Trellis server. The documentation says this is the one to call first, before any search runs.

Lists the ready-made research workflows Trellis offers Claude, each one under its own name, so you can see what's already packaged. Each skill can then be opened with get_skill.

Fetches the full instructions for one named workflow. The name comes from the list that list_skills returns, and what comes back is a set of workflow instructions rather than court data.

Supplies the usage rules for the search part of the server, the side that covers dockets, filings, rulings, judges and experts. They are separate from the general instructions returned by get_server_instructions.

Passes along the usage rules for the analytics side, separate from search, which computes statistics on judges, firms and verdicts. Its counterpart for the search side is Search-get_server_instructions.

Queries state court dockets by party, judge, firm, practice area, date or disposition. The full-case tool then opens any case in full from its docket ID.

Takes a docket ID and returns the full record of a case: parties, procedural events, verdict and classification.

Retrieves the complaint for a case, the original plus any amended versions if you want them, with full text included.

Runs full-text search across court filings such as motions, orders and complaints, with facets to narrow the results down. A single filing found this way opens with the single-filing tool, from its PDF ID.

Pulls up a single filing by its PDF ID, with the document text included if you ask for it.

Returns the full text of a ruling and its metadata from the ruling ID, so you see the judge's reasoning in their own words. It returns the ruling itself, not the docket around it, which the full-case tool covers.

Looks through verdict records by award range, injury type, expert, attorney or party, to place a case against its precedents. For aggregate figures rather than individual records, the verdict statistics tool is the matching tool.

Locates a judge by name, state or county and returns the judge ID that the profile and analytics tools then use. The judge profile tool and the judge analytics tool both work from it.

Pulls together a judge's full profile: bio, appointing authority, career history, courtroom rules and clerk phone number. For figures on how the judge rules, the judge analytics tool is the separate tool.

Finds expert witnesses by name, by state or by specialty group, to build a shortlist of candidates for a case. The valid specialty labels come from the specialties tool, and Trellis's description lists expert witness vetting among the connector's uses.

Returns the expert specialties Trellis recognizes, optionally filtered by group, which gives the valid labels for an expert search. The expert search can then use them.

Lists the valid sub-classifications of matters for a given practice area, so search filters match Trellis's own vocabulary. The list depends on the practice area you name.

Finds cases involving a specific plaintiff, defendant or any other party who isn't an attorney. Attorneys aren't the target here: Trellis describes it for non-attorney parties only.

Computes in-depth analytics on a judge: motion grant rates, procedural milestones and outcomes by matter type. The judge ID it needs comes from the judge search.

Builds a firm's litigation profile: case counts, practice areas, how its attorneys are distributed, and trends. Trellis's description lists opposing counsel analytics among the connector's uses, next to judge analytics.

Aggregates verdicts into average, median, minimum and maximum awards, broken down by verdict type and by practice area. It works on aggregates, not on the individual records that the verdict search returns.

Ranks plaintiff and defense firms by the total verdict awards they've secured, giving a top list on each side. Per Trellis's documentation, the ranking is by total verdict awards.
