For associates & juniors
You carry the research and the drafting. Let Miss Lucy take the first pass.
The partner delegates and you do the work — the memo, the first draft, the citation check, the bundle. Miss Lucy gives you the output of a larger team, so you bill the judgment, not the grind.
Your day right now
- A research brief lands at 6pm and the note is wanted by morning.
- First drafts of notices and applications eat the hours you wanted for the actual argument.
- Every citation has to be pulled and checked by hand before it goes near the partner.
- Bundles, indexes and lists of dates — the quiet tax on every filing.
What changes
- Hand her the brief and get a drafted memo back, with the authority already cited and verified.
- She finds the leading case doctrine-first — the controlling principle, not just a keyword match.
- Every citation is checked against the source before it reaches you, so nothing fabricated slips through.
- She remembers the matter across sessions, so you are not re-briefing her every time you sit down.
The grunt work, handled
| What you do | Today | With Miss Lucy |
|---|---|---|
| Research memo on a point of law | A late night reading, pulling cases, and writing it up from scratch. | A reviewed first pass in minutes — doctrine framed, authority cited. |
| First draft of a notice or application | Hours rebuilding boilerplate before you reach the substance. | A structured draft ready for you and the partner to sharpen. |
| Citation check before filing | Cross-checking each cite by hand, hoping none are misquoted. | Every citation verified against the source, flagged if it does not hold. |
| Putting a bundle and list of dates together | Stitching documents, indexing, and re-numbering by hand. | Assembled and ordered for you, ready to review and lodge. |
She does the first pass. You and the partner still own the final work — you just get to it faster, and with your evenings back.
