User guide

Every menu item,
explained.

A chapter for each destination in the signed-in Law Mind workspace: what it is for, how to use it well, and where its limits are. Free to read, and no account is needed to read it.

32 chapters. Each one names the plans it applies to, so you can see what Standard covers and what Professional adds before you decide. The chapters describe the signed-in workspace; parts of the library, such as the public dictionary and encyclopedia, can be previewed without a subscription.

What the plan labels mean

Standard and Professional
In the workspace menu on both plans.
Professional
In the workspace menu on Professional, which includes everything in Standard.

Professional includes everything in Standard, so a Professional account sees every menu item on both lists. Conversation is on both plans, but its Deep Thinking depth setting is Professional-only. Account and Help are part of the signed-in workspace on both plans; reaching your account settings is not the same as holding paid research access. Joining a firm does not create extra paid seats - each member signs in with their own eligible account. Compare the plans and current prices.

Start here

Where the workspace opens, and how to choose your first tool.

  • Home

    Home is the opening screen of the signed-in workspace. It gathers shortcuts to the main tools, recent conversations and recently saved reference material so you can choose where to begin.

Ask a question

The three ways to put a question or a document to Law Mind.

Keep your work

Where finished answers, saved entries and past threads live.

    Standard and Professional
  • My List

    My List holds the reference entries and definitions you deliberately save while using the dictionaries, Encyclopedia and other tools.

    Standard and Professional
  • History

    History lists your past research conversations so you can reopen an earlier thread instead of reconstructing it from memory.
