The Handbook

Every feature, in the order you'll actually use them. Ten minutes here saves you the semester — or watch the three one-minute videos.

01

My Syllabi

Nav · My Syllabi▶ 1-min video

The front door. Your professor's PDF becomes a clickable case list — this is where your semester enters the app.

  1. Drop the syllabus (PDF or DOCX) exactly as your prof sent it.
  2. The parser reads every citation — G.R. numbers, consolidated dockets, old L-numbers — and groups cases under your prof's own headings.
  3. Press Fetch all cases. Full texts arrive from the official sources; already-fetched cases are instant.
  4. Tap any case to open it in the reader.

The upload screen

TipA case cited with a wrong G.R. number or a book citation only ("571 SCRA 434") can't auto-fetch — open the Reader and search it by title; it links up on the next re-parse.
02

Case Reader

Nav · Case Reader

Full decisions, rendered like a reporter page. Select any text and mark it — your marks are the raw material of your reviewer.

  1. Search by G.R. number, or just type the case title — "People vs. Gozo" works.
  2. Select a passage → the mark bar appears. Tag it facts, issue, ruling, doctrine — or highlight in one of four colors.
  3. Lost in a long case? Open Marks → the machine-read guide jumps you to the "whether or not…" and the WHEREFORE.
  4. On your phone: the AI digest sits on top of the case; the Digest · Marks pill opens the drawer.
G.R. No. 113191

Private respondent filed a complaint for illegal dismissal. The issue is whether or not the DFA has standing. WHEREFORE, the petition is GRANTED.

Select text → the mark bar

TipMarks are free and yours forever — they survive re-uploads, refetches, everything. Mark generously; Study Notes does the organizing.
03

AI Digest

Reader · Digest tab

A full structured digest — one-liner, facts, issues with answers, ruling, doctrine, memory hook. 1 credit unlocks a case for your account, permanently.

  1. Open a case → Digest tab → Unlock digest (1 credit).
  2. Already-digested cases unlock instantly — one credit, no waiting.
  3. Every digest is flagged AI-generated · unreviewed — verify against the full text beside it. It's a study aid, not the record.
  1. Once unlocked, the digest also appears inside your Study Notes for that case — free, automatically.
  2. Out of credits? The whole zero-AI side of the app keeps working — credits only gate the AI extras.
TipIf your section shares syllabi, most cases are already digested — your credits go further than you think.
04

Doctrinal Search

Nav · Doctrine

27,498 doctrine points from the Supreme Court's own case index. What you read is what the Court's indexers wrote — no AI in the loop unless you ask.

  1. Ask three ways: a doctrine ("chain of custody"), a case name ("People vs. Gozo"), or a statute ("RA 9165").
  2. Every result cites its case — one tap opens it in the reader.
  3. Want a synthesis? Synthesize an answer (1 credit) — AI answers only from the retrieved points, every claim cited.

Three ways to ask, one search bar

TipRecit defense: search the doctrine your prof loves, read the exact index language, then open the case it cites. Two minutes, done on the jeep.
05

Codal

Nav · Codal

47 codes, 7,102 provisions, from official government sources only. And the showpiece: when a decision cites Art. 1732, the provision pops up inside the reader.

  1. Browse by code, or search a provision directly.
  2. In any decision, tap a highlighted citation ("Art. 1191 of the Civil Code") → the verbatim text opens inline.
  3. Press Mark provision → it lands in your Study Notes as "The law, verbatim."
  1. Study Notes also adds "Where the Court applies the law" — the Court's own sentence applying each cited provision, found by pattern, not AI.
TipCodal + application + your marks in one reviewer is exactly the recit answer structure: rule, source, application.
06

Collections

Nav · Collections

Folders of cases, grouped under topic headings — the outline your Study Notes will follow.

  1. Fastest way: on a syllabus, press Add all to a collection — topics come along.
  2. Or build your own: create a collection, add cases by G.R. number.
  3. + add topic creates a heading; each case's topic… menu files it. A topic sticks once it holds a case.
  1. When it's ready, press Create Study Notes.
TipDeleting a collection or its notes never deletes your marks — everything rebuilds with one click, so reorganize fearlessly.
07

Study Notes

Nav · left rail▶ 1-min video

One click assembles your reviewer, case by case, in your outline's order. Zero AI required — it's your own reading, organized.

  1. Each case shows: your marks (facts → issue → ruling → doctrine → highlights, in their colors), your unlocked AI digest, the SC-index doctrine, where the Court applies the law, and marked provisions verbatim.
  2. Case captions link back to the reader — tap to re-read or mark more, then regenerate (free).
  3. Download PDF → a clean document for your phone, tablet, or the printer.

Recit Drill

Nav · left rail▶ 1-min video

Flashcards dealt from the digests you already own — the professor's question before the professor asks it. Zero AI at drill time.

  1. Pick a syllabus (or one heading of it) or a collection. The coverage bar tells you how many cases will drill; digested-but-locked ones offer the usual 1-credit unlock.
  2. Recall mode deals one question per case; Issues mode deals every principal issue the Court took up. Shuffle, or keep the syllabus order. Set a recit clock (30/60/90 s) if you want the pressure.
  3. Say the answer out loud, then space reveals it — with the doctrine and the memory hook. Grade yourself Got it · Partly · Missed (keys 1 · 2 · 3).
Recit Drill · Sales · Double Sale

Cheng v. Genato
In a double sale of immovable property, who has the better right?
Got itPartlyMissed

One card, one case, out loud

  1. The done screen lists everything you missed with the answers and a Re-drill the misses button; the pick screen keeps your recent scores and a "Keeps slipping" list — that's your re-read list before recit.
  2. A case with no digest still drills if the SC's own index has its doctrine: "State the doctrine of…"
TipA refresh never eats a drill — come back and it offers to resume at the card you left.
09

Study Planner

Nav · left rail

A month calendar with subject-colored study blocks — built for reading hours that hide between work and class.

  1. Schedule a whole collection: pick the days, and the cases spread themselves across them.
  2. The today checklist shows what's due; unfinished cases carry forward — no guilt spiral, just a moving queue.
  3. Resume on any block drops you into the reader exactly where that case is.
  1. The dashboard's semester bar counts down to break — "Week 11 of 23" keeps you honest.
10

Draft Assistant

Nav · left rail

25 Philippine forms — complaints, petitions, affidavits, Notice of Appeal, notarial blocks — drafted on real court paper rules. A study aid, never for filing.

  1. Pick a form → fill the labeled facts → Fill the blanks (free), or Assemble with AI for a full draft with anything uncertain flagged [[NEEDS LAWYER INPUT]].
  2. Or upload your prof's sample (PDF/DOCX) and draft on it with your own facts.
  3. Scrub counsel & contacts anonymizes counsel details; Save to my templates keeps it in your private precedent library.
  4. Export PDF or Word — 8.5 × 13 legal paper, margins per the Efficient Use of Paper Rule.

How credits work — the whole story

Everything zero-AI is unlimited on every account: reading, marking, Study Notes, Recit Drill, Doctrinal Search, codals, the planner, fill-the-blanks drafting.

1 credit = 1 AI action for your account: unlock a case's digest (permanent), or synthesize a cited answer in Doctrinal Search. Digests are shared — once anyone unlocks a case, it opens instantly for everyone after, so class credits stretch far.

Top-ups are manual for now — message the admin (GCash), credits appear in your account, every grant recorded in a ledger you can trust.
