District of Columbia

Public records software that already knows District of Columbia's law.

Brandeis ships with a statute profile for the D.C. Freedom of Information Act — the response clock, extension rules, exemption citations, and appeal language your AI agents and your staff work from on day one. The law is configuration, not a professional-services project.

15
business days to respond
Computed from receipt — weekends, holidays, and day type handled by the deadline math, not a spreadsheet.
+10
business days of extension
Notice required — the drafting agent writes it with the permitted reason cited.
4
seeded exemption citations
The exemption agent flags passages with District of Columbia's own sections.
1
nightly deadline sweep
An agent watches every open request's clock, every night.
Exemptions, cited not vibed

The agents quote District of Columbia, chapter and verse.

When an AI agent flags a passage for exemption, the flag carries the citation — and a named staffer confirms or dismisses every one. The starter profile seeds the most-cited sections:

D.C. Code § 2-534(a)(2)

Clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy

D.C. Code § 2-534(a)(3)

Investigatory records for law-enforcement purposes

D.C. Code § 2-534(a)(4)

Inter- and intra-agency deliberative materials

D.C. Code § 2-534(a)(1)

Trade secrets and confidential commercial information

If a denial is appealed: Administrative appeal to the Mayor (D.C. Code § 2-537), then suit in D.C. Superior Court. The appeal-packet agent assembles counsel's dossier straight from the audit log.

Reviewed, then live

Starter profile, finished with your counsel.

Public-records statutes are nuanced. The District of Columbia profile ships as a reviewed starting point — day counts, sections, and appeal language your counsel confirms and tunes per agency before go-live. It is configuration to verify, never legal advice.
