Built for city attorneys

Research, drafting, and review, cited to the line.

Mesa is the research coworker for the city law office. It reads the municipal code, the state’s statutes and case law, and the office’s own files, then returns answers, memos, and redlines with the citations attached.

See how it works

Municipal legal questions answer to the code, the state’s statutes, and the case law above both. A sound opinion accounts for all three. Mesa does the reading, so the office’s judgment goes further.

Use cases

How city attorneys use Mesa

From department research questions to the ordinance headed for first reading, each piece of work comes back with the citations that support it.

  • Mesa can answer plain-language legal questions from the municipal code, the state's statutes and regulations, and controlling case law: whether a use is permitted, what noticing a hearing requires, what options the council has. Every citation opens to the exact provision it rests on.

    Mesa research conversation: a question about whether NY counties must disclose police misconduct records after the 2020 repeal of section 50-a, with a cited answer referencing Civil Rights Law section 50-a, Public Officers Law section 87, and the 87(2)(b) and 87(2)(e) exemptions.

Confidentiality & governance

Treated like the privileged work it is.

A law office’s files and questions are sensitive by definition. Mesa is built so real matters can go through it without any doubt about where the data goes or how a conclusion was reached.

Never used to train AI

Customer data is contractually prohibited from training any model, whether Caldera's or any AI vendor's.

Access under the office's control

SSO, fine-grained roles, and vaults scoped to the organization decide who sees what.

An audit trail for the file

Every answer records the sources the agent consulted. The trail exports when a conclusion needs to be defended.

Verifiable by design

Every claim traces to the provision it came from, so review rests on the law rather than on trust in the tool.
