LexGrit

Courtroom rehearsal, out loud · Philippine trial practice

Rehearse the argument before you have to make it.

LexGrit is a courtroom you can speak into. You argue out loud. Opposing counsel objects — mid-sentence, the way it actually happens. A judge rules from the bench, then hands you a scorecard built from your own pleading.

Not a chatbot that discusses your case. A room that interrupts you.

  • You speak. It answers.

    Live voice, both directions, with a real interruption model — you can be cut off, and so can they.

  • Objections land in the moment

    Not in a summary afterwards. The clear ones fire with no model latency at all.

  • Every ruling shows its work

    The passage it relied on, from your pleading or the court's own rules, quoted rather than paraphrased.

Why it exists

Most advocates get one rehearsal: the hearing itself.

The feedback arrives as a ruling, weeks later, tangled up with the merits — and by then you cannot tell whether you lost on the law or on the third sentence, where you asserted a fact you never established and nobody stopped you.

A flight school would find that unacceptable. So would a conservatory, or a surgical residency. All three run on the same shape: isolate the weak moment, repeat it with immediate feedback, put it back. LexGrit exists to make that shape available to a trial lawyer at eleven at night, without booking a colleague to play the other side.

The ruling · fabricated caseVantage Freight v. Halloran Logistics — invented parties and facts; the provision is real public law.

The benchSustained. Counsel, the witness may speak to what she saw, not to what the yard supervisor concluded.

Shown to the bench when it ruled

  • Rules of evidenceRule 130, Sec. 22“Testimony generally confined to personal knowledge.”
  • Your pleadingComplaint ¶ 14“The bill of lading was signed and returned on 3 March.”

One citation in this session could not be traced to any document in your forum’s corpus. It is marked in the record rather than repeated as authority.

Not a generic courtroom

The room is the one you are actually walking into.

  • Your forum, from a catalogue

    Seventeen Philippine courts, each with the proceedings it actually holds and the way its bench is addressed. Or one it has never catalogued — that stays creatable too.

  • Your rules, and your reading of them

    The rules of evidence and the Supreme Court's internal rules ship curated. Fork them, add your branch's standing orders, and record where your court applies a provision differently.

  • The opponent you actually get

    A newly admitted lawyer who objects at everything, or a veteran who objects twice and picks both moments. Declared before you start, and frozen onto the session.

What a session costs you

Twenty minutes, a microphone, and a pleading you already have.
