A LIVING CASEBOOK · 50 YEARS OF METHOD
The practicum, rendered as a working law firm.
Twenty deep simulated matters across ten practice shapes and two jurisdiction tiers, a surveyed skills taxonomy mapped to FOLIO, simulated client interviews, and the complete business of a two-lawyer firm — every page generated from one open data spine.

Open the templatesThe centaur layer
Every exercise here ships with a machine-readable rubric and a revise-and-repeat loop — the two halves of a human+AI (“centaur”) pedagogy. AI gives the first-pass rubric critique and unlimited reps; scarce faculty time is reserved for the high-value coaching only a human can give. The simulated client interviews, the rubric critiques, and the firm dashboard below are that layer, live.
