Study tools
Ten focused tools for legal reasoning, class preparation, writing, revision, exams, and bar practice
Study Tools turn the Assistant into an active legal-learning workspace. Choose a tool, add your question or source material, and continue the session in chat. Your academic profile supplies relevant context such as classes, jurisdiction, learning style, and weaker subjects.
Practice#
Case Brief
Build a structured brief from a judgment or case material, covering the facts, issue, rule, reasoning, holding, and significance.
Socratic Drill
Answer one question at a time while 8rney challenges weak reasoning and narrows the question when you get stuck.
Cold Call Prep
Prepare the facts, procedural history, holding, reasoning, and likely follow-up questions for a class discussion.
IRAC Practice
Submit a practice answer for feedback on issue spotting, rule accuracy, analysis depth, structure, and the most important improvements.
Build#
Legal Writing
Receive structural feedback on a memo, brief, essay, or paper without having the work rewritten for you.
Outline Builder
Turn class notes, a syllabus, case briefs, and source extracts into a course outline that follows your preferred format and depth.
Flashcards
Generate and drill cards from your notes or outline, revisit weaker rules, and track concepts that need more attention.
Plan#
Study Plan
Build an adaptive schedule around exam dates, available study time, subjects, preferred methods, and completed sessions.
Bar Prep
Practise objective and essay questions weighted toward your jurisdiction and weaker subjects. It supplements rather than replaces a full bar course.
Exam Forecast
Review past papers and course context to identify recurring topics and likely emphasis. A forecast is a study aid, not a prediction guarantee.
Work from your own materials#
Upload or attach judgments, notes, outlines, syllabi, casebook extracts, and past papers when a tool needs source context. 8rney can use that material throughout the session and point out conflicts with something already in your notes.
Use Socratic Drill when understanding is the problem, Flashcards when recall is the problem, and IRAC Practice when applying a rule to facts is the problem.
Academic guardrails#
Study Tools are designed to keep you doing the intellectual work. Writing tools focus on structure and feedback rather than silently replacing your answer. Drills ask, wait, and respond to your reasoning. Always check legal rules and citations against authoritative sources, especially when your course or jurisdiction applies a different approach.
