When lectures feel unclear
Turn dense material into principles, cases, and seminar questions before the next class.
Taking you to your workspace…
For UK Law Students
Get unstuck on your next law assignment.
Analyse the question. Improve the draft. Spot weak reasoning. The student stays in control.
Or try a lecture workflowA silent illustrative sequence shows one student's workflow: a problem question arrives, Durmah helps break it into issues, the student's own draft receives specific improvement notes, weak reasoning is flagged with an explanation, a focused revision plan forms, and the student submits their own work. Durmah coaches; it never writes the assignment.
Starting with Durham. Expanding across UK law. Independent from all universities.
Chapter One
Foundation · Arrival
Starting law school.
New city, new vocabulary, cases that read like another language. Every advocate starts exactly here.
Built for the hard weeks
When law school feels heavy, Durmah makes the next step clear.
A confusing lecture, a difficult essay question, a long reading list, a revision plan that keeps moving. Durmah helps students break the week into manageable legal study tasks and build confidence in their reasoning.
When the assignment feels too large
Break the question into issues, structure, research, draft, and review without losing the thread.
When deadlines start to stack
See the workload earlier, plan revision properly, and know what needs attention next.
Chapter Two
Year One
Learning the language of law.
Terms, cases, IRAC, tutorial preparation, first assignments. The grammar of legal thinking, learned one week at a time.
The Lexicon · living legal vocabulary
Watch one word become yours.
From Tuesday's contract lecture
“For a contract to form, consideration must move from the promisee…”
Glossary term spotted. Save it to your Lexicon.
Plain meaning
Something of value given in exchange for a promise.
In this lecture
Here, the promise to pay on delivery. Context locked in.
Saved to your Lexicon
One tap. The term is yours now, with its context attached.
Recalled later
It resurfaces before the seminar, and again in revision.
The same word carries different weight in contract, in equity, and in everyday speech. Your Lexicon keeps each meaning where it belongs.

Year Two
Building legal reasoning.
Deeper modules, real authorities, essays that get examined and improved before they are submitted.
Legal reasoning, made visible
Structure first. The answer stays yours.
Issue
What is actually in dispute?
Rule
The law that governs it.
Application
The law applied to these facts.
Conclusion
A position you can defend.
Application is where the real thinking branches

A reasoned conclusion you can defend in a tutorial, an essay, or an exam.
Durmah teaches the structure of thought. It does not generate the answer.
Flagship product proof
See Mark My Paper in action.
The clearest answer to “what does Durmah actually do?” for a student with an assignment due. Upload the question. Add the draft. Durmah shows what is weak before the work is submitted, so the student still owns the revision.
The development journey
EssayIssue spottingStructureAuthority useCounterargumentFeedbackReflectionRewriteStronger reasoning
Durmah does not promise marks or write the final answer. It shows weaknesses, prompts better structure, and helps the student decide what to revise.
Inside the workflow
Five honest steps a tutor would recognise.
Each step is grounded in the student's own materials. Durmah never rewrites the answer. It shows where reasoning is weak, what to fix first, and what to revise next.
Question paper
Upload the assignment brief or problem question, with deadline and module context.
Draft review
Add the student's own draft. Durmah reads it against the question, not against a model answer.
Diagnostic feedback
Issue spotting, structure, reasoning quality, authority use, each flagged on the script.
Priority fixes
A short, ranked list of what to fix first so revision time is spent where it matters.
Revision plan
A focused plan the student can follow before submission. Never a rewritten essay.
The student stays in control at every step. Submission is always the student's own work.
The shift Durmah is built around
From answer generation to reasoning discipline.
Three short panels. One quiet point. How a structured legal-study environment builds real legal judgment that generic answers leave out of reach.
The problem
Problem questions reward structure, not just knowledge.
Students may know the cases and understand the lectures, but applying legal method under assignment or exam conditions takes practice. Durmah helps turn question analysis, authority, application, and conclusion into a clearer workflow.
The temptation
Generic AI can produce fluent, finished-looking answers.
Polished sentences. A finished feel. And yet, the reasoning is not the student's, and a tutor cannot examine it as the student's own thinking.
The discipline
Law school requires reasoning that can be shown, examined and improved.
A method of thought, not a finished paragraph. Durmah is built to make that structure visible to the student doing the work, without doing the work for them.
Chapter Four
The connected years
Everything starts to connect.
Lectures, notes, cases, assignments, revision. One continuous thread instead of twelve scattered tabs.
A Year-Two week · one connected thread
One lecture becomes a living thread of knowledge.
Lecture upload
A dense two-hour recording goes in.
Transcript
The recording becomes searchable text.
Key ideas
The principles that actually matter, surfaced.
Glossary terms
Legal terms extracted and highlighted for you.
Your Lexicon
Unfamiliar words saved to your personal Lexicon, with context.
Notes
A structure you built, ready to revise from.
Revision
The same material resurfaces as recall prompts.
Confidence
You walk into the seminar holding the thread.
Stuck at any step? Talk it through with Durmah Voice until the reasoning is yours. Then your dashboard shows what needs attention next, with you deciding every step.
What makes Durmah different
Built for legal learning, not shortcut generation.
Durmah works the way UK law students study: question analysis, diagnostic feedback, priority fixes, revision planning and academic integrity boundaries.
The real difference
Durmah is built around how UK law students actually study: lectures, seminars, essays, problem questions, revision, and structured legal reasoning. This is discipline and continuity, not generic prompting.
Generic AI on its own
- Starts every task from a blank chat.
- Makes you invent the legal study method each time.
- Can produce confident text without the discipline of legal method.
- Does not connect lectures, deadlines, vocabulary, feedback, and revision.
Durmah workspace
- Repeatable workflows for lectures, seminars, essays, problem questions, revision, and feedback.
- University-specific context for modules, terminology, deadlines, and study routines.
- Academic integrity guardrails that keep support formative, structured, and reasoning-first.
- A student organisation layer for planning, Lexicon, lecture notes, feedback history, and continuity.
How Durmah handles legal sources
Fluent is not the same as grounded.
Durmah's grounded legal-study pathway is designed around a maintained UK source set. If that material cannot support an answer, the intended behaviour is an honest limit, not a confident guess.
Constrained sources
Grounded answers are limited to sources available to the system.
Checks before trust
Checks flag unsupported citations, statutes and jurisdiction drift before grounding.
You still verify
Check the original authority and course guidance before relying on an answer.
Study support only. Not legal advice, complete legal research or university endorsement.
University-specific architecture
Durham is the flagship. The system is built for UK law schools.
Starting with Durham. Expanding across UK law. Durmah is a university-specific study layer that connects modules, lectures, assignments, planning, feedback, and revision history around the student.
University packs
Each pack can carry modules, calendars, lecture routines, writing expectations, and support content for a law school.
Workflow continuity
Students return to the same assignment, lecture, revision, and planning surfaces instead of starting again from a prompt.
Repeatable learning layer
The product expands by adding university context to the same study system.
Chapter Five
Year Three & beyond
Becoming the advocate.
Independent judgment. Examined reasoning. A professional identity taking shape. AI was never the hero. The student became the advocate.
A Year-Three moment · independent judgment
Issues
Spotted by you, faster and more surely than in first year.
Authorities
Recalled because you built them into memory, week after week.
The final stretch
An unseen problem question.
No notes, no prompts, no assistant. Exactly the moment three years of structured practice was for.
Structure
IRAC is instinct now, not a checklist taped to the desk.
Argument
Your position, weighed and defended in your own voice.
The point of it all
Durmah examined the reasoning along the way. The judgment in the exam hall is entirely yours. That was always the point.
