01Brief

Inshorts for law

Legalo is a legal-tech mobile concept — an “Inshorts for law” that turns long judgments, scattered legal news, and dense case material into a daily, digestible reading habit. The product serves lawyers, advocates, judges, law students, and corporate legal teams who need signal without sacrificing substance.

We designed the full product experience — research, information architecture, design system, and UI — with AI summarization and legal assistance planned into the structure from the start, not added as an afterthought.

02Problem

Information overload, mobile neglect

  • Judgments run to hundreds of pages

    Dense legal text resists quick scanning on any device — especially mobile.

  • Resources are scattered

    News, digests, and reference material live across portals with no unified habit loop.

  • Mobile legal UX is poor

    Most legal products feel like desktop archives squeezed onto small screens.

  • Research eats billable time

    Professionals lose hours triaging what matters before they can act on it.

03Users

Three readers, one daily loop

  • Law Student

    Goal: Stay current without drowning in case law.

    Pain: Long readings compete with coursework and exams.

  • Corporate Lawyer

    Goal: Scan regulatory shifts and precedent quickly.

    Pain: Too many sources, too little time between meetings.

  • Independent Advocate

    Goal: Find relevant judgments before court.

    Pain: Research is manual, fragmented, and mobile-unfriendly.

04Product

Feed-first by design

We structured Legalo around a feed-first architecture. The atomic unit is a 50–60 word case summary card — scannable in seconds, deep-linkable to full context when needed. AI summarization and legal assistance sit inside the information architecture as first-class flows, not a bolted-on chatbot.

Bottom navigation anchors the product; feed tabs organize content types within the daily habit loop.
