NORTH CAROLINA · VERBATIM-OR-ABSENT · FAIL-CLOSED

North Carolina civil procedure is unforgiving. Your next move doesn't have to be a guess.

The complete litigation platform: guided case paths, the Discovery War Room, every deadline computed with its citation attached, a verbatim rule corpus that attacks its own drafts like opposing counsel, county-by-county court intelligence from the unified court map and the statewide local-rules catalog, and attorney routing when your facts get risky.

Legal information, not legal advice. No attorney–client relationship unless separately engaged. Urgent deadline? The Deadline Engine computes it with the citation attached.

The Discovery War Room

Every other tool tells you your request is fine. Ours is under standing orders to read it like the other side's senior partner on a bad day — hunting the dragnet phrasing, the missing date bound, the statutory gate you didn't clear. On every draft, every time. The first opposing counsel your discovery ever meets works for you.

WATCH THE WAR ROOM WORK

1 · A SUMMONS LANDS

Construction-contract dispute · Wake County

Served July 2 by the sheriff. $412,000 in dispute — Superior Court Division money (the $25,000 line, G.S. 7A-243). Two entities, one former employee, a vendor with the records that decide it.

TrialVector opens the matter. The 30-day clock is already running — and there is no Monday rule to save a late count.

WHILE OTHER AI DESCRIBES THE LAW, THIS ONE RUNS THE PROCEDURE

The North Carolina arsenal, verbatim

Operative legal text enters the corpus byte-for-byte from official sources and is hash-pinned. A section not loaded does not exist to the engine — and the engine says so instead of guessing. Watch it live-counted on the corpus board.

6,536

General Statutes sections — 34 WHOLE CHAPTERS from ncleg.gov, the NCGA's "Not Official" label on every unit's provenance

70

the ten-trap Civ Pro gauntlet — the clocks and waivers nobody warns you about, each with its rule and its tool

78

corroboration pins across seven engines — the law and the parameters are never allowed to drift apart silently

A North Carolina signature is a certificate — and Rule 11's sanction is mandatory: “shall impose.” TrialVector was built for that world: every export runs the citation gate; the AI-hallucinated authority that ends careers gets flagged before you sign.

Six nuclear engines. One operating system.

Battle-tested across DraftCounsel, BenchPath, EstateDraftFL, and FamilyLaw GPS — re-keyed to North Carolina civil procedure and armed for discovery.

The Discovery War Room

no other litigation platform dares do this

The proof graph finds the holes an opponent will find. The Self-Audit Mirror reads every draft from the other chair — a request that would flunk TrialVector's own deficiency engine does not serve. Aggression is scored into bands that order the queue and never launder a tactic.

The Escalation Zone

the aggression governor

Green proceeds. Escalation — apex depositions, destructive testing, invasive inspections — exports only behind a 10-element record with a named human on it. North Carolina writes fewer gates into statute, so the record IS the gate — and red conduct never approves, in any lane, for anyone. Build to the line. Never over it.

GOVERN + the Rule Stack

the act date picks the law

Layers of authority resolved per matter and hash-sealed — with North Carolina's own wrinkle honored: the civil rules are legislatively enacted and carry statute rank. Session-law amendments sit noted with their effective dates (the § 58-33-85 pattern) until their day comes. Removal swaps the whole stack and keeps the history.

The Deadline Engine

the citation rides every date

The 30-day answer (no Monday rule), discovery ladders, the backward-safe MSJ clocks, the 10-day magistrate lifeline, the thirty-day appeal — computed by pure, unit-tested functions with the complete Rule 6(a) trace and the rule attached. A language model never touches a date.

Cite Check NC + the Integrity Rail

built for the shall-impose era

A North Carolina signature is a certificate — and Rule 11's sanction for a paper signed in violation is MANDATORY ("shall impose"). Every export runs existence, proposition, temporal, and treatment checks against the corpus — then seals into a hash-chained ledger where editing history breaks the chain visibly. Flagged, never faked.

The Theaters

the tribunal picks the rules — not habit

Summary ejectment before the magistrate, the Chapter 50B safety lane, the Business Court's 30-day designation window, power-of-sale foreclosure before the CLERK, DWOP, the enforcement lane — each resolved to its OWN regime with gates and red lines. Plus the appellate shield: the thirty-day notice, the bonded stay, the writs.

The Traffic Ticket War Room

show the law · educate on options · route the decision

The charged statute verbatim with its consequences — the per-offense classification stated plainly, the DMV point thresholds from the statutes' own sentences, and North Carolina's signature device, the prayer for judgment continued, shown with its statutory caps (the third-in-five-years count; the CDL exception). What to do about it stays a decision — yours, or a licensed attorney's.

Served to proof-locked, on the record

Five steps. The first two belong to the engines; the last three are why the record can carry your name.

  1. 01

    GOVERN resolves your forum

    County, division at the $25,000 line, edition, the discovery-meeting profile — pinned to your act date and hash-sealed. Two minutes, not two weeks.

  2. 02

    The campaign builds — then faces the Mirror

    Waves 0–5 sequenced against the elements of your claims. Every draft is read from the opponent's chair before it goes anywhere.

  3. 03

    The Escalation gate rules on the aggressive moves

    High-pressure tactics export only behind the complete record — objective, facts, authority, alternatives, fallback, named approval.

  4. 04

    Serve, calendar, enforce

    Deadline chains with citations attached. Deficiency matrices request by request. The conference record only from what actually happened. FILED is unreachable with a fatal block.

  5. 05

    Proof Lock converts discovery into trial ammunition

    Admissions ledger (silence admits in North Carolina), authentication matrix, element map — every proposed fact carries its record cite or it does not export.

CONNECTED INTELLIGENCE

Court intelligence, resolved from the law itself

The county, division, and local-rule layer riding every North Carolina surface is resolved from the authorities that create it: Chapter 7A's unified court map (the $25,000 line, the magistrate lane, the clerk's own jurisdiction) and the statewide nccourts.gov documents catalog — enumerated whole, with the honest doctrine that absence from the catalog is not absence of practice. Each card carries its provenance and review state, because a county's practice is a real constraint but never flattened into law.

Product law (the non-negotiables)

Verbatim or absent. Operative legal text enters the corpus byte-for-byte from official sources and is hash-pinned — with the NCGA's own "Not Official" label carried on every statute unit.
Retrieved, never generated. The model organizes facts and drafts advocacy in declared zones — it never authors law or citations.
Fail closed. Stale source, unverified citation, open blocker finding, missing certificate → release is blocked, visibly.
Adversarial by default. The Self-Audit Mirror and the Opposing Counsel Pass run on 100% of drafts and on uploaded outside paper. No opt-out.
Humans dispose. Every material finding is decided individually. No bulk approve. Append-only decision ledger.
Procedure is a first-class citizen. County, division, and judge requirements ride on every surface with provenance + review state.
Publish the scorecard. VectorBench + TarBench run on every release — deadline math, citation grammar, gates, assembly determinism.
Two lanes, one engine. Professional workstation and plain-language pro se lane share the same deterministic core — enforced, not promised.

Questions litigators actually ask

What is TrialVector North Carolina, exactly?+

The third state on the TrialVector chassis — the same litigation operating system that runs Florida and Texas, re-keyed to North Carolina civil procedure. It shows official North Carolina law verbatim, attacks its own work like opposing counsel, computes every deadline with the citation attached, and proves in an immutable record that a human ruled on every finding. It is software, not a law firm.

Is this legal advice? Do you file anything?+

No, and no. TrialVector provides legal information. North Carolina draws its software line by statute — G.S. 84-2.2 exempts an interactive document-generating website from the practice of law ONLY when it registers with the North Carolina State Bar and meets the statute's conditions. That registration has not been made, so the document assembler here is gated OFF in code: the platform shows the law and the clocks and routes drafting to a licensed attorney, and the served flow says exactly why. The signer owns the filing, always.

How much does it cost?+

The public tools — the Deadline Engine, Cite Check, the rule corpus — are free forever. The full per-matter workspace is free during founding access (no card, no clock). When billing activates, it is priced per matter for solo users and as a flat subscription for firms. We show no dollar figure until the checkout behind it is real.

Why won't you just show me a price?+

Because the entire product is built on "honest states, never faked." A corpus section that isn't loaded says so instead of guessing; a citation that isn't verified is flagged, not faked. A price with no live checkout behind it would be the same lie we refuse everywhere else. When billing is real, the number will be too.

What makes the Discovery War Room different?+

Every other tool tells you your request is fine. The War Room's Self-Audit Mirror reads every draft from the opponent's chair — a request that would flunk TrialVector's own deficiency engine does not serve. The proof graph finds the holes an opponent will find, and the Escalation Zone governs the aggressive moves: in North Carolina the governor is the 10-element record itself, and unlawful conduct never exports at all.

Is the law actually verbatim, or AI-summarized?+

Verbatim or absent. Operative North Carolina text enters the corpus byte-for-byte from the official publishers — 34 whole chapters of the General Statutes (including the legislatively enacted civil rules), the Constitution, the appellate rulebook, 301 county documents from the nccourts.gov catalog, and the federal rim. The NCGA labels its online statutes “Not Official,” and that label rides every unit's provenance here. A model never authors law or a citation. Inspect it yourself on the engine page.

Does it work for self-represented parties, or only attorneys?+

Both — the same analytical engine, enforced by code, not promised. Attack-register vocabulary never reaches a self-represented surface, high-risk exports become counsel-review packets, and the pro-se lane demands the same attestations before anything leaves the door. See Parity & Trust.

Where does the county and local-rule intelligence come from?+

From the official sources themselves. The nccourts.gov documents catalog is enumerated whole — 1,220 documents, with 301 rule documents carrying live verbatim text — and unlike Texas, North Carolina has no posted-or-not-effective statute, so the platform says plainly that absence from the catalog is not absence of practice. The unified court map (one Supreme Court, the $25,000 division line, the clerk's own jurisdiction) comes from Chapter 7A, loaded verbatim. See the local-law board and the court map.

What happens to my data?+

The public tools run entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is transmitted. Workspace matters are tenant-isolated, encrypted, and access-audited; the model is never trained on your matter content. Fail-closed never means data-hostage: if an entitlement lapses, existing matters stay readable.
