Define the assignment
Translate a request into jurisdiction, question, source universe, deliverable, deadline, and review owner.
Current availability: three free workflow frameworks are live below. The marketplace, memberships, paid templates, job board, Stripe/Gumroad checkout, founding cohort, roster, and turnaround promises are not active.
Reusable structure—with supervision kept visible.
Preserve authority
A student or tool may organize and draft. The supervising attorney controls legal judgment, client advice, filing, and final work product.
Make review observable
Every framework includes verification, open-question, and supervisor-review gates instead of pretending a template is self-executing.
Three working frameworks
Research memorandum
Question → jurisdiction → authority table → synthesis → application → unresolved questions → supervisor review.

How a supervised engagement would work
Attorney defines scope
The attorney identifies client, conflicts, jurisdiction, confidentiality controls, work type, permissible systems, deadline, and review standard.
Student drafts under direction
The student works only within the attorney-approved scope and documents sources, assumptions, uncertainty, and open questions.
Attorney reviews and owns the decision
The attorney verifies authority, exercises professional judgment, communicates with the client, and decides whether or how work is used.

RN Collins
Neuroscientist, law student, and fractional law clerk working across legal research, emerging technology, and regulated industries. Clerking is being developed from the practical question: how can legal workflows become teachable and reusable without hiding the supervising attorney’s judgment?
What this deployment is—and is not
Clerking is a public prototype offering educational workflow templates and describing a possible future service through which licensed attorneys could identify law students for attorney-directed work. It is not operating as a law firm, lawyer-referral service, staffing agency, employer, or school placement office. It does not accept applications, verify credentials, recommend participants, create engagements, or process payments.
Any future engagement would require written terms directly between the hiring attorney or law firm and the student or worker. The hiring attorney would remain responsible for conflicts, client authorization, jurisdiction, permitted tasks and systems, confidentiality, supervision, compensation, and final use. Clerking would not supervise legal work or exercise legal judgment.
Inquiry warning: Sending an email does not create an attorney-client or other professional relationship, trigger a conflicts check, or make the message privileged or confidential. Do not include client names, matter facts, deadlines, or protected records.
