Purpose and best uses
My List holds reference items that you deliberately save while using tools such as Legal Dictionary, Encyclopedia, and Statutory Definitions. It is your collection of useful entries and definitions, organized for later reading. Use it when you find a reference you expect to revisit, want to gather vocabulary around a project, or need to keep explanatory material together with your own private notes. It is particularly valuable for preserving why a reference mattered, not merely remembering that you once opened it.
The current interface provides an All view, an Unfiled view, named folders, and item-level controls. Each saved item identifies its type and links back to its reference. You can create folders, move items between them, add or revise a note, and remove items from the list. Deleting a folder moves its contents to Unfiled rather than deleting the saved items themselves. This organization is useful when you want to reorganize a collection without having to save every entry again.
How to use it well
Save selectively. A small collection with clear reasons for inclusion is easier to use than hundreds of entries whose purpose you cannot remember. Name folders after subjects or projects that make sense to you, and use notes to capture the connection between the reference and the question you were researching. For example, a note can identify a passage worth comparing with a statute, an unfamiliar term you need to explain to a colleague, or a limitation in an entry's historical source.
When returning to a saved item, follow its link and read the current displayed reference rather than relying only on the saved title. The bookmark identifies the resource; it should not be assumed to preserve a frozen copy of every earlier page version. Keep any exact quotation and source details separately when the wording itself matters. If your project requires collaboration or a collection of documents and conversations, use Matters deliberately instead of assuming that a My List folder is automatically a shared case workspace.
Example and practical limits
For a fictional research project about a business arrangement, you could save several relevant definitions, place them in a folder, and add a note to each explaining how it relates to the project. Later, you can review the folder before preparing a question in Ask or a document in Draft. This makes My List a practical bridge between reading and later work. It also supports learning: a topic folder can become a reading list of concepts you want to understand more thoroughly.
My List is not the archive for every generated answer. Use My Research for saved Ask and Deep Research outputs and accepted agentic results. Use History for conversations. Removing a reference from My List also does not rewrite a conversation or remove the underlying source from Law Mind's collection. These distinctions prevent unnecessary concern when you reorganize personal bookmarks. My List works best as an intentional reference collection with concise notes, recognizable folders, and periodic review. Before using a saved definition in important work, check its attribution, date, scope, and relationship to the actual authority you need. Saving a reference preserves access to it; it does not elevate the reference into controlling law.
Review folder names occasionally and remove duplicates or labels you no longer understand. The purpose is retrieval, so a descriptive subject name usually works better than an unexplained abbreviation. A short note about relevance can also prevent you from rereading an entire entry simply to remember why it was saved.
