Legal OS — the Notion system for Lawyers

Legal OS is the Notion system a practising barrister built to run her own practice — and now uses every day. Twenty-five linked databases across five areas keep your cases, tasks, fees, contacts, courts, authorities, research, CPD and career goals in one place, so you stop rebuilding the same spreadsheets and start every day knowing what is on.

What's inside

Work & Organisation — Work Calendar, Task Diary, Cases and Matter Types. The Task Diary is built for the Bar: 72 task types from N244s and skeleton arguments to possession hearings, CCMCs and multi-track trials (plus coursework, moots and exam prep for students), sub-tasks, fees in pounds with a Fee Status from pro bono to paid, date briefed, and links to the case, court, judge, opposing counsel, instructing solicitor and practice area. Today, This Week, Upcoming Hearings and Billing views come ready-made, with page templates for a hearing and for advice or drafting.

Contacts — a CRM for the Bar: Legal Network (how you met, who introduced you, pronunciation), an Interactions log with its own calendar, Firms and Organisations, Judges and Courts, seeded with twenty real courts from the County Court at Central London to the Court of Appeal.

Practice Management & Career Development — 40 practice areas with a development-status board, a Feedback log tied to each task and judge, a CPD Record with hours and provider, and Career Goals whose progress is calculated from the tasks beneath them.

Legal Knowledge & Awareness — Legal Research Notes linked to Case Law (with ratio and judgment link), Legislation with parent and child sections, Procedural Rules by chapter and sub-rule, Official Guidance, Education and Training, Seminars and Lectures, and Legal Articles with separate reading and authoring status.

Resources — Legal Library, Preparation Notes and Drafting Forms and Precedents, all linked back to the matter types and practice areas they serve.

Fee intelligence built in

Because every task carries a fee and a status, Legal OS rolls them up for you: total fees per case, per matter type and per practice area, appearance counts per court, and each case's instructing solicitor, court and next hearing date worked out from its tasks. The Homepage dashboard shows this week's calendar and tasks, quick-action buttons, your favourite resources and your career-goal progress.

Learn it in ten minutes

Every database ships with one linked sample record — a single worked possession claim you can click through from case to hearing task to court, judge, instructing solicitor, research note and authority, so you can see how it all connects. A Start Here page walks you through setup and tells you how to clear the samples when you are ready. Getting Started guide, tutorial video and licence page included.
