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.
