Legal research is complicated enough. Keeping track of it shouldn't be.
PowerNotes organizes your sources, annotations, and citations in a single structured workspace — so you spend less time managing research and more time using it.
Used at law schools across the country. Including yours, probably.
PowerNotes is the research workspace law students reach for when the case load gets serious — Law Review, senior seminars, moot court, bar prep. Organized sources, Bluebook citations handled automatically, and an outline that builds itself as you research.
"I use PowerNotes to organize and write research papers for classes and Law Review. I love that I am able to search quotes, separate them out by subject and cross off the ones I've used. I love that I can click on the quote and go back to the source to get greater context if needed. Overall it's a great tool and I don't know how I would have gotten through law school without it!"
"I use PowerNotes to conduct legal research. It has been extremely helpful when reading cases and trying to keep track of key ideas and important quotes. PowerNotes allows me to organize and annotate information as I read it, which makes the synthesis and analysis that follows easier. Thanks!"
"It allowed me to keep my notes organized when I was working with over 20 different sources, including case law and secondary sources — law review articles and journals primarily. I also used it for the citation and for the links to access the source rapidly. Where it really helped was the larger project — to help keep my sources and my notes on the sources organized through its easy-to-use interface."
Highlight and annotate directly on cases, law review articles, statutes, and secondary sources — on any website, PDF, or legal database. Your highlights and notes stay attached to the source, not scattered across a notebook you'll search for later.
Organize your highlights into topics as you go. Search your quotes, filter by topic, and cross-reference across sources — so when you're writing, you already know what you have and where it came from.
PowerNotes captures citation metadata when you save a source. Format in Bluebook with a click — no manual entry, no hunting for volume numbers. Every citation attached to the content it supports.
When you're researching on Westlaw or LexisNexis, PowerNotes captures inline citations automatically for every highlight and annotation. Context and claims properly referenced, without the copy-paste.
Your annotated sources organize into a project outline automatically. By the time you start writing, your argument structure is already there — built from your own research, in your own words.
Free for students through summer 2026. No credit card required.

Organized research is the foundation of good legal work. PowerNotes makes it systematic.
Legal research produces volume — cases, statutes, secondary sources, expert opinions, deposition notes. The problem isn't finding the information. It's keeping track of it, building an argument from it, and maintaining a defensible record of how you got there.
PowerNotes brings a structured workflow to legal research that scales from a single associate to an entire practice group.
