June 1–14, 2026 · $3,500

I · The residency

What it is.

Two weeks. One mentor, matched to your practice. One deliverable — a workflow, a tool, a system, or a capability — that proves a new way of working has taken hold. Built alongside someone who already does it.

Dates: 14 days · June 1–14, 2026
Format: 1:1 mentor + cohort of twenty
Brief: Shaped by your Mirror intake on signup
Deliverable: One AI-native workflow, tool, system, or capability
Mentor: Senior Legal Quant, matched on signup
Stack: Claude Max + @legalquants.com email · sponsored
Price: $3,500 · all in
Seats: Twenty · first come, first served

II · The mentors

Nine Legal Quants across nine timezones.

A mentor’s job is not to lecture. It’s to make a work pattern legible — and to be there for the questions that change the build.

Could AI do this part?
Is this worth automating?
What would a Legal Quant do here?
Is the tool failing, or is my workflow wrong?

III · The shift

AI-assisted is not AI-native.

AI literacy is the floor. AI-native work is the bar. AI-assisted lawyers use AI inside the old workflow. AI-native lawyers redesign the workflow around AI.

AI-assisted · old pattern

Receive task.
Open ChatGPT.
Paste in. Read out.
Copy back. Re-format.
Next matter, start from scratch.

AI-native · new pattern

Receive task.
Map the workflow.
Reach for Claude Code, agents, scripts.
Build a reusable process.
Keep the capability. Improve it next time.

The artefact you leave with is the visible trace of the shift. The shift itself is the product.

IV · The deliverable

One of these, shaped to your practice.

A workflow

A repeatable Claude Code process — clause review, redline pass, first-pass diligence, regulation tracker — for a matter you handle weekly.

A tool

A custom project management dashboard. A web crawler. A Slack bot. An email agent. A contract-review assistant. Internal apps your team can actually use.

A capability

Running an agent autonomously for 5–7 hours. Standing up an MCP endpoint. Configuring your own OpenClaw or NanoClaw. A repeatable move you can demonstrate live.

   monitor stock prices
   ─►  detect drop > 15%
   ─►  agent scans SEC + news
   ─►  surface fraud indicators
   ─►  draft Statement of Claim

A system

A new way of working — the practice itself, redesigned. Monitor stock prices for unusual drops, dispatch an agent to scan SEC filings and news for fraud indicators, auto-draft Statements of Claim for potential plaintiffs.

VII · The community

The mentors are nine. The community is the goldmine.

110 lawyers from AmLaw100, Magic Circle, and Fortune 500 in-house teams — in one WhatsApp community, ~700 messages a week for five months straight. The most AI-native lawyers in the world. When you join the cohort, you get access to them too.

IX · Questions people ask

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The goal isn't software engineering. It's scoping, building, and verifying AI-enabled legal work. Your mentor calibrates.

What if I don't want to build an app?

Most useful legal-AI outputs aren't apps. Workflows, document pipelines, monitoring systems, agentic processes, internal tools all qualify.

What if my goal is to learn the tools, not build a specific thing?

You'll learn tools by using them. Tools rotate; work patterns compound. The point is scoping, debugging, verifying, reusing AI-enabled legal work.

What if my outcome isn't a dramatic 'aha' moment?

Normal. Some redraw their ceiling in a single session; others gradually as the new pattern becomes ordinary. Both count.

Will I have something I can maintain after?

Yes. The build, capability, or workflow is yours. The deeper effect is how you reach for Claude Code now versus before.

What does peer review actually look like?

Day 15, after Demo Day, we match you with another community lawyer. Share privately, any form. 48 hours. No public posting.

What if my organization doesn't allow public posting?

Most lawyers we see have publication restrictions. We don't ask you to post. Peer review stays inside the community.

What's the time commitment really?

Two to three hours a day, more if you go deep. Two group office hours per week — the only sync requirement.

I'm not in the US or UK. Does this work for my timezone?

Office hours run UK morning and US morning. Your mentor works asynchronously through your private channel — never blocked waiting.

What happens after I click Join Cohort 1?

Stripe checkout for $3,500. Within 48 hours we confirm fit and send Slack invite, email, intake form. Brief week May 25, kickoff June 1.

What if Cohort 1 fills before I'm seated?

Cohort 1 is hard-capped at twenty. If you pay after the cap, full refund in 48 hours. We flag Cohort 2 timing.

What's the refund policy?

Two paths. You request: full to May 25, 50% to June 1, none after except force majeure. We initiate (fit): full refund regardless.

Twenty seats. June 1.
