Watch court like a lawyer, not a spectator.
Studycase is a study cockpit for law students. Play a hearing — a real recording, a class moot, a practice pack — and it listens with you: a live transcript on the left, analysis beside your own notes in the middle, and case-law suggestions with the why on the right. Built to safely study court maneuvers and turn watching into practice.
Where we stand: Studycase is for moot-court and mock-trial preparation and courtroom literacy. It is not for assistance during real proceedings, and not for graded exams or assessments where outside aid is prohibited — it builds courtroom judgment in practice, it does not supply it during something that counts.
Transcript
Counsel, what in this record corroborates the tip beyond the caller's say-so?
Your Honor, the officers observed nothing independently suspicious before the stop.

Notes & analysis
Judge keeps pressing corroboration — lead with the predictive-detail gap.
— my ink stays mine; the gray is the coach.
Suggestions

Three panes. One habit: see the move as it happens.
Everything streams live from the hearing you're watching. Nothing waits for the recording to end.
A transcript that never lies to you
Words appear as they're spoken and settle into finals that never change under your eyes — no flickering, no rewriting history. Click any line to jump the video there.
Caption-grade lines, timestamps on every utterance, built to double as the accessibility surface.
Your notes stay yours
Two inks: what you type is yours forever, in your voice; the coach's analysis arrives in gray beside it. Edit any gray block and it becomes your ink — because the point is that you generate the understanding.
Notes survive dropped connections keystroke-for-keystroke, and export cleanly with the AI's contributions labeled.
Cards that cite or stay silent
When the judge asks the question that matters, a case card appears — real case, real citation, and the why-now. Every quotation is checked against the case-law library before you ever see it. If the coach can't verify a citation, you don't get the card.
Provenance on everything: each card names the moment in the transcript that triggered it.
Float the cockpit over the courtroom itself.
The downloadable desktop app puts Studycase in a frameless, half-transparent, always-on-top window — over your Zoom, over the court's stream, over the recording. Watch through it. Flip to interact when you want to pin a card or take a note. Browsers can't do this; your study tool can.
macOS build today; unsigned preview available now, signed build coming. Windows next.
Good habits, drilled the way clinics drill them.
The tool is honest with you so you learn to be rigorous for yourself.
Practice packs
Self-contained bundles — a realistic case file, a matching mock hearing, and prep exercises — that a student can run start-to-finish without staff help. Read the motion, watch the hearing with the coach, argue the pause-points out loud, score yourself.
Suppression, sentencing, and expert-witness packs ship today. Fictional parties, real doctrine, every citation retrievable.
The moot ballot
After a moot round, you get a ballot scored on the five axes real moot judges use — with every praise and criticism linked to the exact moment in the transcript that earned it. Not a vibe. Evidence.
Prep sheets before the round; replay and review after. The loop is the point — habits form on repetition.
Verify before relying
Every AI contribution is labeled, every citation checked against real published opinions, and the product tells you what it doesn't know. That discipline is modeled on purpose: the habit you build here is the one that keeps you safe in practice.
Our accessibility statement and FAQ say what works, what doesn't yet, and how we measured — publicly.
Real cases only
Suggestions come from a library of real published opinions. If it isn't in the library, the coach doesn't cite it — a card that can't verify its citation is discarded before you see it.
Honest speed
Cards sketch in instantly with verified retrieval; the coach's argument line streams in as it's generated. You always know what's settled and what's still thinking.
Private by design
Recordings and notes are yours: per-user storage, retention limits, and a design built to run on private classroom hardware — so student audio can stay in the room.
Run it with your class.
The pilot program
We're onboarding a small number of moot-court programs, trial-advocacy classes, and clinics. You bring the students and a hearing to study; we bring the cockpit, practice packs, a teacher quickstart, and a consent-first setup that treats recordings and student notes with the care they deserve.
