Your personal black-letter law library. Every rule, element, and exception — versioned, searchable, and wired directly into your outlines and flashcards.
Definitive 'Black Letter Law' workspace for every course
Track elements, exceptions, and policy rationale
Full version history to see how your understanding evolves
Create a rule for every doctrine you cover in class: Battery, Negligence, Res Ipsa Loquitur, Personal Jurisdiction, Promissory Estoppel. Each rule gets a name, topic, and one or more formulations — the exact statement of the rule as it appears in your casebook, the Restatement, or your professor's formulation.
Rules are organized by course and topic, so you can filter down to exactly what you need for a specific exam.
The heart of every rule is its element structure. Add each required element as a separate entry — Intent, Harmful Contact, Causation — so the structure is always explicit and scannable.
Add exceptions (privileges, defenses) and policy rationale (why the law is this way) as separate fields. When you're studying for an exam, these distinctions matter: knowing an element isn't enough if you miss the shopkeeper's privilege.
Your understanding of a rule evolves over a semester. JurisNote saves every edit as a named version — 'Week 1 first read', 'After class discussion', 'Post-outline review' — so you can see exactly how your formulation has refined over time.
If your professor corrects a rule in class, you can update the formulation and keep the history. You'll never wonder which version of a rule is your most current understanding.
Every rule in your library can be embedded directly into your course outline as a RULE node, or referenced inside a case brief as the governing standard. Changes to the rule propagate everywhere it's linked — update your Battery formulation once and every outline and brief that references it reflects the change automatically.
