Practice, Not Passive Reading
Simulators
Interactive, hand-authored scenarios that put you in the room — a courtroom, an appellate bench, a negotiation — rather than just describing what happens there. Every question, answer choice, and piece of feedback is written in advance; nothing here is AI-generated.
FreeWitness Preparation Simulator
Practice testifying through 12 realistic courtroom scenarios — four each in civil trial, criminal trial, and family court — with the judge and opposing counsel actively present throughout.
Deposition & Witness Examination Simulator
Practice taking a deposition as examining counsel, not the witness — a fact witness with something to hide, a corporate representative giving vague non-answers, and an opposing expert whose opinions you have to lock down before trial.
Client Intake & Counseling Simulator
Practice a first meeting with a prospective client — extracting the complete picture from an emotional, one-sided story, spotting a conflict of interest buried in an offhand mention, and managing expectations honestly.
Contract Negotiation & Deal-Structuring Simulator
Practice sitting across the table on a real deal — an IP license, a commercial retail lease, and the sale of a small business — countering the other side's opening position term by term and protecting your client's actual interests, not just the headline number.
Pre-Trial Motion & Injunction Hearing Simulator
Argue emergency and pre-trial motions in front of the bench — a trade-secret TRO as the moving party, defending against a preliminary injunction, and a motion in limine to keep prejudicial evidence away from the jury.
Administrative Agency & Regulatory Hearing Simulator
Argue in front of an agency ALJ or a reviewing federal judge — an SEC forum-rights motion under Jarkesy, a statutory-interpretation petition for review post-Loper Bright, and a Social Security disability appeal under the substantial-evidence standard.
Legal Job Interview Simulator
Practice a legal job interview — BigLaw litigation and corporate callbacks, a boutique firm, a judicial clerkship, a Public Defender's Office, an in-house counsel role, and a paralegal position, each testing what that specific interview culture actually looks for.
Moot Court Simulator
Practice appellate oral argument through a realistic, interactive scenario — a panel of judges presses you with hostile hypotheticals, and you see exactly which answers held the line and which conceded too much.
Mediation Practice Sandbox
A self-help negotiation prep worksheet — unbundle a dispute into separate issues, work through your own BATNA and WATNA, and browse generic compromise frameworks to apply yourself.
International Commercial Arbitration Simulator
Practice cross-border arbitration under the ICC Rules and the New York Convention — arguing jurisdiction against a void-contract bootstrapping challenge, seeking emergency relief before the tribunal even exists, and opposing enforcement of a foreign award on the one ground actually available.
Public Speaking Simulator
Record yourself presenting an argument or a course of study, declare what you need to cover first, then get objective, color-coded feedback on pace, filler words, repetition, and content coverage — plus practical technique-based advice for each.
