Questions
What teams ask us
- Is it really free?
- Yes, for the season of your competition: no payment details, no subscription that runs on. The moot key opens the moot matters of your competition only.
- Does LitArbi read our memorials?
- No. Your matters and documents stay on your computers. AI functions run only when you start them, with your own provider account — and in a moot matter only within your competition’s rules.
- Several teams at our faculty?
- Apply once per team and competition. A coach looking after teams in two competitions can say so in the note.
- Our problem isn’t out yet.
- Apply now; the key waits for you. The template is ready when the problem is.
- Some of us use Windows, some a Mac.
- That’s fine. One key works on both, and File ▸ Export ▸ Share Matter moves a matter between them — numbers and citations stay identical.
- Our competition cites with ¶, not “para.”
- Each competition’s template starts with the form its memoranda use; Matter ▸ Case Settings switches between ¶ and “para.” for the whole matter, including the index.
- Can we pass our library on to next year’s team?
- Yes. File ▸ Export ▸ Pass On to Next Year’s Team saves a copy of your moot matter with its legal authorities — files, short forms, tags, summaries and, if you like, your notes — and leaves the problem, the record and your memoranda behind. Next year’s team imports it and opens it with its own key.
- Is there a tablet version for the oral rounds?
- Not yet. LitArbi for iPad and Android comes after the beta: the whole record on a tablet, offline, with your markings — and “C 3, p. 14” opens in one go when the bench asks.
- Is there a guide to using LitArbi for our moot?
- Yes — from the key email to the filed memorial, in nine steps, with the app’s own menu commands and screens.
- Can our team work in one matter without a server?
- Yes. One researcher builds the matter and shares it as one file (File ▸ Export ▸ Share Matter…); everyone imports it and cites from the same numbers. How a team works with LitArbi.
- We write in Google Docs or Word online — does that work?
- For citing, yes: LitArbi’s pane runs in Google Docs and in Word on the web, from your team’s bundle made with LitArbi on a Mac or PC. Numbering, the index of authorities and Prepare for Filing stay with LitArbi on the computer. LitArbi for Word is in Microsoft Marketplace, LitArbi for Google Docs in Google Workspace Marketplace.
- Can we use LitArbi in the oral rounds?
- With LitArbi for iPad & Android — finished, released after the beta, and included for moot teams. It puts the page you cite on the courtroom screen and keeps your speaking time. Check your competition’s rules on screens and devices first.
- Who helps us when something doesn’t work?
- Write to us at litarbi.app/support — a person answers by e-mail, and you follow the conversation on a private page.
