FOR LAWYERS WHO WORK IN THE MARGINS
A workshop for the small practice. Not a platform for tomorrow’s law firm.

A senior associate in the margins of every page.

Referent reads alongside you, marks the parts to push back on, and footnotes the rest. Built for the practice you actually run — solo, three lawyers, a six-person family-law shop above a coffee shop. Day-one useful. No annual minimums.

01 / Drafts in your voice
It learns your last fifty briefs
Not a generic legal corpus. The voice that comes back is recognisably yours.
02 / Reads what you don’t
Discovery, transcripts, packets
Surfaces the four pages that matter out of the forty that don’t. Marks what to push back on.
03 / Cites everything
Bluebook clean. No hallucinations
Every claim has a footnote with a source. If it can’t cite, it doesn’t say.

The palette.

PAPER · INK · RUST · A PINCH OF SAGE

Daylight, annotated.

Light-mode terminal. The background is "developer paper" — warm off-white with the subtlest amber shift. The accent is rust, the colour of a marginalia note made with a fountain pen at 9am. Sage shows up as secondary status only — green for “ready,” never decorative.

The surface.

SIDEBAR · CHAT · COMPOSER

The workshop.

Same product as Lex — daylight version. Mono carries every label. Line numbers in the chat gutter. Rust accent only on what’s active. Easy to read at 8am AND at 11pm without changing modes.

What should I annotate first?

Drafts, citation checks, the country-conditions packet. I’ll mark the parts to push back on and footnote the rest. Every claim sourced.
