Getting started

What you are looking at

LexGrit is a courtroom you rehearse in. You argue aloud; an AI opposing counsel objects — sometimes mid-sentence — and an AI judge rules on the objection before you may continue, then delivers a spoken ruling and a written scorecard at the end. Everything the bench says is grounded in material you supplied: your pleading, and the procedural rules of the forum you chose.

Signing in

LexGrit is in private development. There is no signup page, and the login page only logs in — accounts are created by the operator of the deployment. If you have credentials, sign in at the app; if you do not, there is nothing on the site to click, and that is deliberate rather than broken.

The shape of the app

Four places, and the work moves through them in order:

• Courts — the forums you appear before, and the procedural rules that ground them. Set up once, reused by every case. Start here.
• Cases — one per matter: the case profile, the pleading, the preparation checklist, and the rehearsal history.
• The session — the room itself. Started from a case, argued aloud, ended by you.
• The scorecard — what happened, graded and replayable, with the auditable practice record.

The rest of this guide follows that order: set up your court, prepare a case, enter the witness’s affidavit if the proceeding needs one, choose who you face, run a session, and read the results.

Nine kinds of proceeding are available today — argument, motions, examinations including cross-examination on a judicial affidavit, the oral formal offer of evidence, appellate argument before a panel, and the two lawyer-free forums. The proceedings page lists each one with the objections that can be raised in it, which is the difference that matters.

What LexGrit will not do

Worth knowing before you start, because these are design decisions, not gaps:

• It stores no session audio. Your voice is processed live; only the transcript and derived numbers are kept.
• It publishes no accuracy figures for its objections or scores, because they have not been measured yet — the scores you see are for comparing your own rehearsals, not for showing anyone else.
• It will not invent law. If the bench cites a rule, that rule came from a document in your forum’s corpus, and the citation is checked against it.
