LitArbi for Google Docs
LitArbi’s Insert Citation pane, in Google Docs in the browser. Click exhibits into one citation, give each its page or paragraph, and insert it in the text or as a real Google Docs footnote: the full citation the first time a document cites an exhibit, the short one after, the exhibit number in bold, each part linked to its exhibit.
Where the exhibits come from: your firm’s LitArbi Server (version 1.8.1 or later) with your LitArbi account — Google passes the sign-in to your firm’s server, nothing goes to LitArbi — or a bundle’s exhibit list (
litarbi-bundle.json). No server at hand? The pane has a fictional sample matter to try citing.
Install
- For yourself: from the Google Workspace Marketplace — Install, and allow the permissions below. In any document: Extensions ▸ LitArbi ▸ Insert Citation.
- For the whole firm: your Google Workspace administrator installs it once for everyone (Admin console ▸ Apps ▸ Google Workspace Marketplace apps).
What it does
- Insert Citation — search the exhibits, click them into the citation, add pages or paragraphs, insert in the text or as a footnote. Exhibit numbers in bold, the case names of awards in italics, ¶ for paragraphs — the same wording as LitArbi and LitArbi for Word.
- First full, then short — decided per document, from the citations the document already holds.
- Insert List of Exhibits — a table of every exhibit the document cites, at the cursor; a second click updates it in place.
- Links that travel — every citation links to its exhibit; LitArbi for iPad opens it at the cited page.
Permissions
- Google Docs documents — to write the citation into the document you are editing and, for a footnote, to create it through the Google Docs API; to read the add-on’s own earlier citations there. It opens no other document.
- Connect to an external service — only your firm’s LitArbi Server, at the address you enter (HTTPS only).
- Show a sidebar — the Insert Citation pane.
Your documents stay in your Google account; we receive nothing from the add-on. Details: privacy policy, section 5g.
Good to know
- One Google account per window: Google runs add-ons with the first account signed in to the browser. If you use several, open the document in a window (or a Chrome profile) signed in only to the account you work with.
- In the browser only: Google runs add-ons in Google Docs on the web, not in its phone and tablet apps. On the iPad, cite with LitArbi for Word or work in LitArbi for iPad.
- Working in Word? LitArbi for Word is the same pane for Word on the Mac, on Windows, on the web and on the iPad.
