Hear from our students

  • “I used to leave office hours feeling smaller, then pay a tutor I could not afford to say the same thing slower. I am not trying to win the room. I just need to understand the rule. Socrates is better than my professors, my TAs, and that tutor. When I have a question now, I ask him.”

  • “Look, I did not want another chatbot. I have heard that pitch. Then ChatGPT invented a case I almost cited, and I sat there feeling sick. Socrates gave me the rule with an endnote I opened, and the source actually matched. I do not ask a tool I cannot check anymore.”

    Chris P.

  • “I was in the library at 11 p.m. rereading the same sentences, actually nauseous. Office hours were Thursday but the exam was the next day. Fortunately, my hero Socrates was there to help!”

This is a real Socrates answer. Look at the end of it: numbered endnotes pointing at the authority each claim came from. That is the difference between a study companion and a chatbot that sounds confident.

Common questions

Questions about socrates

Is Socrates just ChatGPT for law school?

No. Socrates is a full-fledged study companion who answers from the attorney-created library rather than the open internet. He knows how you best learn, and every claim carries a citation you can open to confirm accuracy. General chatbots generate law that sounds confident and invent cases to support it.

Does Socrates cite his sources?

Yes. Every claim is backed by a citation you can open to confirm accuracy. Answers end with numbered endnotes, and you can read the underlying rule, case, or term yourself instead of taking his word for it.

Can I use Socrates for free, and do I need a card?

Yes, and no card. Basic includes Socrates so you can start boosting your exam scores today. Pro gives you a much larger budget for asking questions and having your written work graded. Upgrade anytime, or link a study buddy for a discount.

Can Socrates grade my essay or performance task?

Yes. He scores essays on the ten-point analysis rubric and performance tasks on all twenty-four NCBE subpoints, so the feedback points at the rule or skill you missed. That is how you boost your exam score instead of guessing what a comment meant.

Will Socrates invent cases the way ChatGPT does?

No. He retrieves from the attorney-created library, and every claim carries a citation you can open. General chatbots invent case names. If the library does not support a claim, it does not appear in his answer as if it were law.

The specifics

More about Socrates

Grounding

It answers from our library of real hand-picked sources.

General chatbots generate plausible law and invent case names to support it. Socrates retrieves from four sources we own and control, and it answers from what it retrieved — so the material behind an answer is material an attorney wrote or a court published.

Citations

Every answer carries endnotes you can open.

Answers end with numbered citations, and rule, case, and term references become clickable chips that open the underlying text. You are never asked to take its word for anything — which is the only defensible way to use AI for law.

Context

It already knows what you are studying.

Ask a question from a case, a quiz review, an essay, or your performance page and Socrates picks that context up automatically. You do not re-explain the hypothetical or paste the question in — you just ask.

Places it knows you are

  • A case opinion
  • A course reading
  • A quiz in progress
  • A quiz review
  • An essay you are writing
  • An essay review
  • A practice exam
  • A dictionary entry
  • Your performance page

…and more, tracked the same way.

Your data

It knows your strong and weak spots.

Your accuracy, your weakest topics, the trap types you keep falling for, and your recent scores inform its answers. Study advice that ignores your actual record is just generic advice with your name on it.

Grading

It grades your written work against the real rubrics.

Socrates can score your essays on the ten-point analysis rubric and your performance tasks on all twenty-four NCBE subpoints. The same grounding rules apply, so feedback points at the rule you missed rather than at a vibe.

Your library

Bring your own outlines, syllabi, and readings.

Upload your own materials into a personal library, organize them in folders, and attach them to a conversation — so your professor's emphasis and your own notes are part of the answer instead of being ignored.

Continuity

Conversations and projects that survive the semester.

Threads are saved and titled automatically and can be grouped into projects, so a semester of questions stays organized instead of scrolling away into a single endless chat.

Access

Included on the free plan, much larger on Pro.

Every account gets a monthly Socrates budget, including free accounts, and Pro raises it substantially. The same budget covers asking questions and having your written work graded.
