OLC LEGAL COGNITIVE WORKSPACE
OLC LegalWorkspace
Work through the matterin conversation.Keep every legal stepunder review.
OLC Legal Workspace is the planned first-party work surface for OpenLegalCore. Conversation leads the work while documents, legal sources, facts, evidence gaps, deadlines and decisions remain connected in one controlled matter record. Reviewed work can then move into a controlled legal document.

01 / WORKSPACE
Conversation moves the work.The matter keeps the record.
OLC Legal Workspace is a legal cognitive workspace—not a generic chatbot or a collection of disconnected tools. Conversation moves the work; the matter keeps documents, sources, candidate and reviewed facts, evidence gaps, deadlines, decisions and review states connected.
01 / CONVERSATION
Ask, analyse, direct and draft.
Work in one continuous, matter-aware surface.
02 / MATTER MEMORY
Keep the legal record connected.
Documents, notes, facts, sources and decisions remain linked.
03 / MATTER CONTROL
Make the boundary visible.
Separate missing inputs and blockers from analytical suggestions.
04 / REVIEWED OUTPUT
Prepare controlled legal documents.
Move accepted work toward named human approval.
The same matter model is intended for lawyers and legal teams in law firms, notarial offices, companies, organisations, institutes and public administration—and for people managing their own legal affairs where a controlled legal record is appropriate.
02 / CONVERSATION
Ask naturally.Work structurally.
The lawyer can instruct, question a source, compare facts, record a decision and request a draft without leaving the matter. Each next step retains its source and review context.
USED SOURCES
See what supports the work.
Documents and legal authorities remain visible beside the answer or draft.
NEEDS ACTION
Surface what is missing.
Unconfirmed facts, absent evidence and open deadline controls stay explicit.
PROPOSALS
Keep suggestions provisional.
Model output remains a proposal until legal review accepts or rejects it.
NEXT STEP
Continue without losing context.
Unresolved conditions travel with the workflow.
A material fact, source, warning, date, note, decision or draft change does not become part of the reviewed matter record merely because it appeared in conversation. Explicit human action determines what is accepted, corrected, rejected or carried forward.
Source media, transcript, synthesis, corrections and the approved note remain separate records, with explicit permissions for recording, retention and access.
03 / MATTER CONTROL
Make the gaps visible.Control what moves next.
Matter Control keeps three states beside the conversation: what can move, what must stop and what still requires a lawyer’s judgment.
DETERMINISTIC CONTROL / BLOCKING
A defined condition with a verifiable state.
If a required service date is missing, a dependent deadline calculation remains blocked until the input is supplied and linked to a source.
ANALYTICAL SUGGESTION / REVIEW REQUIRED
A model-generated observation, not a fact.
If two documents appear to state conflicting dates, the conflict remains a proposal for legal review—not an automatic blocker.
Referenced evidence is absent, incomplete or unlinked.
Source-linked assertions differ and need legal review.
Trigger, selected rule and calculation remain inspectable. A proposed date becomes controlled only after human confirmation.
Exact source, version or valid-as-of identity, and the cited passage remain available.
The intended interface may calculate, compare and propose. It may not accept facts, confirm working deadlines, approve legal analysis or release a document on the lawyer’s behalf.
04 / WORKFLOW
From client instructionto a lawyer-reviewed document.
One representative legal task moves from instruction to export preparation. Source links, open limitations, deadline controls and human approvals remain visible at every step.
01
Instruction captured
The legal task enters the matter through conversation.
02
Documents reviewed
Relevant files are identified; missing attachments remain visible.
03
Facts linked
Candidates retain exact references and an explicit review state.
04
Deadline confirmed
Trigger, selected rule and date remain reviewable before human confirmation.
05
Sources attached
Applicable authorities stay linked to the analysis and draft.
06
Draft reviewed
Coverage, deadline control and disclosed limitations are checked.
07
Lawyer approval recorded
Exact version is prepared for export; nothing is sent, signed or filed automatically.
It closes one complete interaction path in a functional wireframe. It demonstrates the intended workflow architecture—not a released application, production performance or an automated legal conclusion.
05 / DELIVERY
Distinct components.One legal workflow.
OLC Legal Workspace brings distinct OpenLegalCore components into one reviewable legal process without erasing their boundaries. Inputs, outputs and human decisions remain visible within the matter.
INTENDED SYSTEM RELATIONSHIPS / NOT CURRENT PRODUCTION INTEGRATIONS
LEGAL OCR PIPELINE
Reviewable document intake
Ordered material from image-based sources.
LEGAL SOURCE PIPELINES
Maintained legal sources
Legislation and case law for research and analysis.
LEGAL FACT EXTRACTOR
Source-linked candidates
Source-linked proposals that remain candidates until human review.
OLC ENGINE
Orchestration and analysis
Retrieval, analysis and controlled drafting orchestration.
WORD CONNECTOR
Controlled document extension
A separate public source-only beta for bounded legal-source research inside Word. Any future Workspace integration remains an intended relationship, not a current production integration.
