10dThe problem
A generic to-do list doesn't know which matter a task belongs to, which deadline it serves, or which rule created it — so the list and the practice drift apart. And missed deadlines aren't a productivity problem; they're the leading cause of malpractice claims.
The commitment engine
Proposed. Triaged. Protected. Delegated. Honest.
Follow a day of work through the system — every screen below is the real product.
01 · Proposed
Your day starts with a plan you can refuse.
Lex proposes the morning: court deadlines pinned on top, five focus items, and everything else deferred to protect the slots — with every deferral listed, not hidden. Accept the plan or dismiss it; either way, the day has a shape before the first email does.

10d02 · Triaged
Nothing reaches Today without an owner and a date.
Captures from Lex conversations, email, and meetings land in Triage with a pre-filled plan. Committing is one click — or hand it straight to Lex, park it, or declare it not a task. The gate is the feature: your working list only contains commitments.

FROM LEX
Meet and confer re RFP Set Two responsesHale v. Northstar Logistics
Draft the meet-and-confer letter on the objections served July 17 and propose a compliance deadline.
FROM EMAIL
Respond to tenant maintenance letterHarborview HOA — unlawful detainer
Tenant's counsel sent a maintenance-and-habitability letter; response requested within 10 days.
FROM MEETING
Circulate revised trust funding checklistHale Family Trust — restatement
Committed in Tuesday's client meeting; the client expects the checklist before signing.
03 · Protected
Court deadlines are a protected class.
Rule-generated tasks carry their citation on the row — Fulton County's own pretrial-order rule, the Georgia contempt statute — run an escalating reminder schedule, are never bulk-actioned, and can only be completed with evidence attached. A deadline can't die quietly.

Lex is a first-class assignee.
Assign a task to Lex and it acknowledges on the task, works it in a visible session through the governed action path, and comes back with a draft for your approval. Every terminal state reports back — draft ready, needs you, or blocked. Silence is impossible by design.

05 · Honest
The numbers always sum.
Stat cards are computed from the same query as the list, archive is its own view, and estimate chips come from your firm's own completion history — never fabricated. A task list you can trust is the difference between a system of record and a pile of reminders.

The difference
A to-do list that knows what malpractice is.
Generic task tools treat a court deadline like a grocery run. Here, every task carries the matter, the deadline, and the authority that created it — and the ones the bar would ask about are a protected class: cited, escalated, never bulk-actioned, and closed only with evidence.
The rules underneath →Protected class
Court deadlines carry citations, escalate on schedule, and require evidence to close.
First-class assignee
Assign work to Lex like a colleague — acknowledged, worked visibly, reported back.
Honest numbers
Cards computed from the same query as the list; estimates from your firm's own history.
Capabilities
What it does
A commitment engine
Nothing reaches your day without an owner and a date. Captures from email, meetings, and Lex conversations land in Triage with a pre-filled plan — committing is one click. Your day keeps a soft five-slot focus limit, and Lex proposes a morning plan you accept or dismiss.
Court deadlines are a protected class
Rule-generated tasks carry their statutory citation, run an escalating reminder schedule (30/14/7/3/1 days and at-due), are never bulk-actioned, and can only be completed with evidence attached — a deadline can't die quietly.
Assign tasks to Lex
Lex is a first-class assignee. Assign a task and Lex acknowledges on the task, works it through the governed action path in a visible work session, and comes back with a draft for your approval. Every terminal state reports back — draft ready, needs you, or blocked. Silence is impossible by design.
Created by the rules
Court-rule triggers generate tasks automatically with legal context and statutory references attached — a deadline arrives with its work already scoped, and dates recalculate under governance when the court moves.
Honest numbers
Stat cards are computed from the same query as the list, so they always sum. Archive is its own view; the working list stays pruned. Estimate chips come from your firm's own completion history — never fabricated.
