Oral advocacy studio

Argue it out with Eli.

Law students get timed rounds, side-switching, and a coaching scorecard. Exploring law school? Eli coaches you step by step through your very first argument \u2014 no experience needed. Everything runs in your browser; your voice never leaves your device.

How it works

Three steps to your first round

1. Pick a track and a motion

Exploring law school? Start with a beginner-friendly motion and the guided mode. Law student? Choose any of the 22 motions across constitutional law, criminal procedure, torts, contracts, evidence, and legal ethics.

2. Argue by voice \u2014 or type

Speak into your mic (Chrome or Edge work best) or type your answers \u2014 the debate, coaching, and scorecard work identically either way. Eli's lines are captioned live and the full transcript runs below.

3. Get your coaching scorecard

Rate yourself against the visible rubric, see your measured stats \u2014 pace, filler words, time used, questions answered \u2014 and get 2\u20133 concrete things to tighten next round.

Is this legal advice?
No. This is a practice tool with fictional scenarios and real legal authorities for study. Eli is a practice partner, not a lawyer \u2014 nothing here is legal advice.
Does my voice or transcript leave my device?
No. Speech recognition, Eli's voice, and your transcript are handled by your browser on your device. Round history is saved in your browser only, and you can delete it any time.
Which browser works best?
Chrome or Edge on desktop for voice input. iPhone Safari doesn't support web voice input \u2014 on iPhones, type your answers; everything else works the same.
Are the cases and rules real?
Yes. Every motion's authorities are real cases, rules, and restatements with links to public sources. The background stories are fictional scenarios written for practice.
