BriefCatch for Regent Users: Home

BriefCatch

The Law Library is pleased to provide BriefCatch to all Regent University users. 

 

Brief Catch is an editing assistant for legal documents.  It will assist you in improving your writing in legal documents.  

Installing BriefCatch

To install BriefCatch, you need first to ensure that your copy of Microsoft Word is linked to your Regent user account.  Your BriefCatch account will be linked to your Regent-based Microsoft account. To confirm your Microsoft Word installation is linked to your Regent account, go to file, and then near the bottom on the left should be a button for "Account" (on a smaller screen you may have click "more.")

Verify that your user account includes your Regent email address.


After verifying that Microsoft Word is connected to your Regent account, you can add the BriefCatch add-in to your Microsoft Word installation.  Click "Get Add-Ins" in the file menu, or "Add-ins" on the Home bar and then "More add-ins."

  Click "Admin Managed" on the window that pops up, and then click on "BriefCatch" and click "Add."

A "BriefCatch" button should have been added to your Home Bar in Word.  When you click on it, BriefCatch should open and you will see the screen below.  Click "Sign in with Microsoft."  If you verified Microsoft Word was connected to your Regent account, this should automatically sign you in without further intervention and you can begin using the tool.
