Step-by-step workflow

How to run this workflow in place.

1

Highlight dense statutory text or judicial dicta

Select the paragraph in an appellate opinion, restatement, or regulatory code that contains nested exceptions.

2

Extract Issue, Rule, Application, and Conclusion (IRAC)

Press your shortcut to break convoluted 19th-century judicial prose into structured IRAC components.

3

Distinguish holding from dicta

Use follow-ups to clarify what rule the court actually applied versus hypothetical reasoning.

Key details

Why this approach works better than switching tabs.

Unpack nested statutory cross-references in place
Statutes and regulations are built out of 'Except as provided in subparagraph (b)(2)(B)...' chains that overload working memory.
  • Turn convoluted statutory conditions into a clear numbered checklist
  • Summarize procedural history (who won in the district court vs appellate court and why)
  • Keep the primary opinion visible on screen so you can verify every citation and quote
