For associates & juniors
The first draft and the citation check, done before you start.
The partner delegates and you do the work — the memo, the first draft, the citation check, the bundle. Miss Lucy gives you the output of a larger team, so your time goes on the judgment, not the routine work.
Your day right now
- A research brief lands at 6pm and the note is wanted by morning.
- First drafts of notices and applications take the hours you wanted for the argument itself.
- Every citation has to be pulled and checked by hand before it goes near the partner.
- Bundles, indexes and lists of dates — and they take time on every single filing.
What changes
- Hand her the brief and get a drafted memo back, with the authority already cited and checked.
- She finds the leading case by starting from the rule, so you get the principle that applies and not a keyword match.
- Citations in the documents she delivers are checked against the source, so a made-up cite does not reach the partner.
- She remembers the matter across sessions, so you are not re-briefing her every time you sit down.
The routine work, handled
| What you do | Today | With Miss Lucy |
|---|---|---|
| Research memo on a point of law | A late night reading, pulling cases, and writing it up from scratch. | A first pass in minutes, with the rule framed and the authority cited. |
| First draft of a notice or application | Hours rebuilding boilerplate before you reach the substance. | A structured draft ready for you and the partner to work on. |
| Citation check before filing | Cross-checking each cite by hand, hoping none are misquoted. | Citations in the documents she delivers are checked against the source, and flagged where they don't hold. |
| Putting a bundle and list of dates together | Stitching documents, indexing, and re-numbering by hand. | Assembled and ordered for you, ready to review and lodge. |
She does the first pass. You and the partner still own the final work — you just get to it faster, and with your evenings back.
