For law students
From outlines to bar-ready recall.
Outline once, study everywhere. Turn doctrine notes into testable cards, organize by MBE subject, and review with spaced repetition — all in one app.
You outline in one doc, make flashcards in another app, and keep a spreadsheet tracking what you've reviewed. By the time bar prep starts, your notes are scattered across five tools — and you can't remember what you wrote in September.
Your workflow
Outline to mastery. One loop.
Mento replaces the gap between your outline doc, your flashcard app, and your study tracker. Here's how the loop works for law school.
Capture from casebooks & outlines
Drop commercial outlines, casebook PDFs, or your own briefs into Mento. Highlight key rules, elements, and holdings. Pull them into structured notes without switching apps.
Organize by subject & topic
Create Spaces for each MBE subject — Torts, Con Law, Contracts, Property, Crim, Evidence. Nest Topics for specific rules, doctrines, or essay themes. Tag cross-subject connections.
Turn outlines into testable cards
AI reads your outlines and generates issue-spotting cards, element lists, and rule statement prompts. Edit them to match how you think. Every card links back to the source.
Review with spaced repetition
Daily practice queues rules you're forgetting. Learn mode for new material. Test mode to simulate MBE timing pressure. Match mode for quick element recall.
Built for the bar
The tools that make rules stick.
No team features. No project boards. Just the study infrastructure that gets you from 1L outlines to passing the bar.
PDF reader + annotations
Read casebooks, commercial outlines, or supplements. Highlight holdings and rules — extract directly into your notes.
AI-generated flashcards
Paste a rule statement or highlight a doctrine — AI generates recall-ready cards. Elements, exceptions, and distinctions included.
Spaced repetition
The bar tests hundreds of rules. SRS schedules reviews so you don't forget Torts while studying Evidence. Weak areas get more reps.
Spaces & Topics
Mirror your bar prep structure: one Space per subject, Topics for each doctrine. Or organize by essay vs. MBE. Your call.
Multiple study modes
Flashcards for daily rule review. Learn for new subjects. Match for connecting elements to doctrines. Test for timed MBE simulation.
Adaptive goals & weak-spot detection
Mento tracks mastery per MBE subject. It knows when your Evidence is slipping while Torts is strong — and reprioritizes your daily queue accordingly. Know exactly where to focus with time left before the bar.
Why not just Quizlet?
Quizlet can't hold your outlines.
Quizlet is great for pre-made decks. But law school demands that you build understanding from your own outlines — the process of turning doctrine into testable statements is half the learning. Mento keeps your outlines, your cards, and your review schedule in one place.

Why structure matters
Your outline is already a retrieval system.
Law school teaches you to think in hierarchies — rules nest inside doctrines, exceptions modify rules, elements define tests. When your flashcards mirror that structure (Torts → Negligence → Duty → Elements), the organization itself cues recall. You don't just memorize the rule — you remember where it lives in the system. Mento's architecture is built for exactly this.
Mirror your outline
Spaces per MBE subject. Topics for doctrines. Sections for sub-rules. Cards inherit their structure.
Flowcharts for analysis
AI-generated diagrams for legal tests, decision trees for issue-spotting, and element flowcharts.
Scoped review
Study one subject for tomorrow's exam, or review everything for the bar. Structure makes both possible.
Outline structure
Your outline, but it quizzes you back.

Visual reasoning
See the structure of the law.
Legal reasoning is structural — elements, exceptions, balancing tests. Mento gives you visual tools to map that structure alongside your text outlines.
AI-generated diagrams
Describe a legal test or doctrine — AI generates a flowchart. Decision trees for issue-spotting, element checklists, burden-shifting diagrams.
Sketch on cards
Draw quick diagrams during review — map out a constitutional analysis, sketch a property conveyance chain, annotate a timeline of events.
Your bar prep, unified.
