5 questions. 2 minutes. For U.S. state and federal civil courts.
THE DISCIPLINE
A document isn’t a case.
A filing can sound convincing and still leave the important questions unanswered. What must you prove? Which facts matter? What evidence supports them? Why this move, now? Here’s how serious litigators work.
01
Know the elements.
Every claim and defense has parts that must be proven. Know yours.
02
Prove facts, not stories.
Break what happened into specific facts and tie each one to evidence.
03
Make the call.
Compare your options and the tradeoffs before choosing a move.
04
Act. Don’t react.
Reacting is trying to outrun a car that’s chasing you. Step off the road and choose your path.
05
File what you can stand behind.
Read the sources, check the facts, and prepare to explain every line.
06
Rest between rounds.
Litigation has highs and lows. Regroup, then go back in.
07
Practice before you argue.
You can say what you’re asking for, which facts support it, and how the law applies.
That’s the whole method. We built the tools around it.
You may be facing your first lawsuit, and you may just want it over. You belong here if you’re ready to understand your case and prepare for what comes next.
Designed for your case
Think of Your Lawsuit Like Building a House
The law is the foundation. Facts and evidence are the frame. Your filings are what the court sees.
AI can write you a document in seconds. It can’t tell you whether it’s the right one.
Generating words is not the same as preparing your case.
THE LAW ACCELERATOR
Train Like a Litigator
Lawyers learn how to work a case in their first year. Nobody teaches it to you. Until now. That’s the LAW Accelerator.
L
Land every fact
Connect specific facts to what the law requires, then attach the evidence. See the gaps while you still have time to fill them.
A
Act, don’t react
Use the filings in your case to see where you stand. Compare your options and their tradeoffs before you decide.
W
Win before you walk in
Research the rules and cases behind your position, prepare your filing, then practice explaining it before you set foot in court.
Start with one useful step: connect a fact to what must be proven, understand the last filing you received, or compare your next options.
Tell it what happened. It turns your story into specific facts, connects each one to what the law requires, and holds your evidence there.
STRATEGY
What are my options?
Upload any filing. See where you stand, your possible next moves, and the pros and cons of each. You decide.
DOCUMENTS
Can I stand behind this filing?
Research the rules and cases behind your position, prepare your filing, then practice answering questions about it.
COMMUNITY
Who’s in this with me?
Video lessons, office hours, and people at every stage of a case. Some of them have already won.
$1
Community access and your first 100 credits.
100 credits is enough to turn your story into facts, map them to a claim, and get a strategy read on your last filing. It’s a start, not a whole case. Pay more only when you choose.
Your case. Your decisions.
The LAW Accelerator helps you prepare. Here’s what it won’t do.
It won’t decide for you.
It lays out your options. You make the call.
It won’t file for you.
No court receives anything from your account. Every document is yours until you file it.
It won’t hide its sources.
Every case it cites is real. Read it before the judge does.
It won’t lock you in.
Look around. Decide it’s not for you. Your case is right where it was.
Preparation in practice, from people who represented themselves
★★★★★
I did all the work, study, and writing; but using Courtroom5 was huge for me… My case, where I was the defendant, is now dismissed with prejudice and without cost. The plaintiff was seeking up to $312,000 in damages. The plaintiff has a large staff of attorneys that I prevailed against without stepping into the courtroom one time in basically three months time.

I am happy to announce that my case with Capital One was deemed a Voluntary Dismissal… From the helpful and timely responses to the readily available templates and case law searches, Courtroom 5 was exactly what we needed.

★★★★★
After receiving my motion for summary judgment of which I received zero assistance from an attorney but helpful guidance from this site, defense has accused me of receiving counsel’s assistance and pleads in their answer that I should not get any pro se leniency. That is the power of Courtroom5.

★★★★★
At first I didn’t apply myself to the program or understand the navigation while I was busy stressing over my next court move, but CTRM5 reached out to me several times and guided me just where I needed to be at this time. The program just takes a little effort to gain many many rewards, you won’t be sorry.

Its going to take much effort and research on your end as well, just signing up isn’t going to make you win – but it will help even the odds and increase your chances of success by offering otherwise buried resources.
— Dave
★★★★★
I was getting sick to my stomach each time I thought about having to appear on my own. I really didn’t think I would win the case, but was going to give it my best shot. I feel that my best shot just got a lot better, and now I’m thinking I could actually win!
