Outlines in JurisNote are hierarchical trees, not flat documents. Add any of these node types at any level:
Nodes can be nested to any depth and reordered by drag-and-drop.
The most powerful feature of the outline builder is live linking. When you add a RULE node, you can search your rules library and embed the rule directly — so the node always reflects your current, most up-to-date formulation.
Same with cases: add a CASE node and link to your case brief. The outline shows the case name, citation, and holding inline. Click it to open the full brief in a side panel.
If you're starting from scratch on a complex topic, JurisNote can generate a skeleton outline from your lecture notes or a pasted block of text. The AI creates the heading/issue structure — you fill in the rules, cases, and examples from your own study materials.
AI-generated content is always labeled so you know which nodes came from the assistant and which are your own work.
When your outline is ready for print, export it to Microsoft Word (.docx) with one click. The hierarchical structure, numbering, and formatting translate cleanly — ready for annotation in the margins during exam prep.
PDF export is also available for sharing with your study group or printing a hard copy for open-book exams.
