Legal Binders

For State's Attorney, District Attorney and Attorney General offices, from traffic and misdemeanors to felonies

Everything a prosecutor needs, already connected.

Legal Binders puts your office's best-practice knowledge in one place and links it the way a prosecutor thinks about a case — statute to elements to the cases that decide them, beside your office's own approved documents.

Built first on Maryland law — now available in 10 states and federal districts.

In the binder, the official text is held on the site and checked weekly for changes.

The problem

Every office already owns this knowledge. It's just scattered.

New prosecutors lose months

An incoming Assistant State's Attorney spends their first months learning where everything is instead of trying cases.

Veterans hoard notes

Your most experienced prosecutors keep private notebooks no one else can access — notebooks that walk out the door when they leave.

The law sits apart from the work

Statutes, elements, controlling cases and the office's own motions live in separate places, so nothing points to anything else.

Why not share one best-practice standard with the entire team?

Linked, not listed

Open a statute, and everything that bears on it is one click away.

Each case shows who won, what the defense argued, and how the State uses it. The chain runs both ways — from a charge to the cases that decide it, and back.

  1. StatuteOfficial text, verified weekly
  2. ElementsWhat the State must prove
  3. What the court must findBefore it can act
  4. Case lawHoldings in plain English
  5. Common motionsState and defense, with drafts
  6. Your documentsOutlines, plea guidance, policies

Why you can rely on it

Verified at the source

Statute text is pulled from the official legislative site and checked every week for changes. Citations are checked against the source.

Full opinions, held on-site

The complete court opinion is on the site — not a link that rots — each with its holding in plain English and how the State uses it.

Approved before anyone sees it

The library arrives as a prepared starting point. Your office's Approvers review and approve each binder before your attorneys can open it.

A Motions Best Practices library unique to your office

Every binder comes with pre-drafted motions and responses for the charges it covers, each citing the verified cases in the binder. Your office edits them to its own practice, adds its own, and hides any it does not use, so every prosecutor files from the same approved template, completed with the details of the case at hand.

Your office sets the rules

Profiles decide what each person sees. Roles decide what they can change.

Administrator

Manages binders, profiles, roles and invitations.

Editor

Creates folders and adds the office's documents.

Approver

Reviews and approves content before it goes live.

Attorney

Reads the binders in their profile.
