Rocket Lawyer?
BUILD FIRST
- A non-sensitive or read-only version of the core experience
- A manual review step wherever correctness or trust matters
- A narrow companion tool that removes a real piece of work
LEAVE FOR LATER
- Regulated decisions, payments, or irreversible actions
- Claims of correctness, compliance, or uptime that the MVP cannot support
- Sensitive integrations until security, support, and auditability are ready
RESEARCH NOTES
What this tool actually does.
Rocket Lawyer is an online legal services platform for individuals, families, and small businesses to make, review, and sign legal documents. Users personalize templates from a library covering business (NDA, Independent Contractor Agreement, LLC Operating Agreement), real estate (Lease Agreement, Eviction Notice, Quitclaim Deed), and family/personal matters (Last Will and Testament, Living Will, Divorce Settlement Agreement, Child Care Authorization Form). Documents are signed via RocketSign e-signature and securely shared. The platform offers Rocket Copilot AI for instant insights and contract review, Ask an Attorney for written responses, Consult an Attorney Live for real-time advice, and Retain an Attorney for ongoing privileged representation. It also provides step-by-step business formation for LLCs, nonprofits, and corporations, plus compliance filings such as Annual Reports and R

Build a web app inspired by Rocket Lawyer's core workflow: an interactive legal document generator plus attorney Q&A. Users pick a document type (e.g., NDA, Residential Lease, Last Will and Testament, LLC Operating Agreement), answer a step-by-step questionnaire, and receive a formatted, downloadable PDF with variables filled in and basic validation warnings. After generation, users can request a plain-language explanation of key clauses or ask a follow-up question to a simulated attorney (rule-based canned advice labeled as educational, not legal advice). Include a simple e-signature mock: users draw/type a signature and the PDF embeds a signature image and timestamp. For technical approach, use React/TypeScript frontend, Node/Express backend, JSON schemas driving questionnaire logic per document, and templating via PDFKit or a LaTeX pipeline; store documents in Postgres with user accounts and JWT auth. Do not copy Rocket Lawyer branding, logo, color scheme, copy, or UI layout. Out of scope: real attorney marketplace, live chat, payment/billing, business formation filings, compliance monitoring, mobile apps, and multi-jurisdiction legal accuracy. Deliver a README covering setup commands, environment variables, architecture overview, sample documents supported, and important limitations (not legal advice, no attorney review, US-only templates, no state-specific guarantees).
