The /check endpoint accepts a document object describing the filing. Only page_count and word_count are required. All other fields are optional. The more you provide, the more checks run.

Required fields

These two fields enable: page limit checks, word limit checks, courtesy copy requirements, and word count consistency (if certificate_word_count is also provided).

Optional sections

caption

Enables FRCP 10(a) caption checks.

signature_block

Enables FRCP 11(a) signature checks.

sections

Enables structural checks: required documents, certificates, motion-specific requirements.

format

Enables district local rule formatting checks (font, margins, line spacing).

privacy

Enables FRCP 5.2(a) privacy redaction checks.

Omission principle

When an optional section is omitted, the corresponding checks are silently skipped. This lets you start with minimal input (just page and word count) and progressively add detail as your document analysis pipeline matures. The meta.checks_skipped field in the response tells you how many checks were skipped due to missing input.
