Setting up your account
After signing in, a new individual account completes two setup screens: your details and your jurisdictions. Finishing the second opens Home, where you can start working straight away.
Some accounts may still show the earlier setup, including roles and practice areas before Home. Follow the steps shown for your account. An account that has already finished setup is not asked to start again.
Email is already part of signing in. You do not need to enter it again during setup. Your jurisdictions determine the example prompts, templates and research scope Judicio offers you in the app.
The two required screens
The existing split layout shows your progress on the left and the fields on the right. The actions stay at the bottom, with Back available on the jurisdiction screen. If you leave before finishing, Judicio restores the required setup you still need to complete.
Your details
Enter First Name, Last Name and Country. Judicio may suggest your country from your connection; change it if needed.
If your account shows Mobile Number (optional), you can leave it empty. A number you enter must be verified: select Verify, enter the six-digit SMS code, and wait for the Verified badge. Change number lets you correct it. Clearing the field lets you continue without a phone number.
Select Save & continue to reach jurisdiction selection.
Where you practise
Choose up to 5 jurisdictions. Common jurisdictions appear as selectable chips; search adds others. The first selected jurisdiction is your primary one. You can change the suggested selections before continuing.
For the United States, also choose Nationwide, Federal only or Selected states. Your saved scope is carried into the app's research settings.
Select Save & continue. Judicio saves the required profile and completes account setup before opening Home. If a save fails, the screen keeps your choices and lets you retry.
Start working from Home
Home keeps its normal feature choices, jurisdiction-specific examples and quick actions. Choose the task you want to work on. Opening a feature takes you to its actual workspace; confirming a ready-to-run example can open its live result session directly.
Use New project when you want to organise your own matter. The existing project dialog asks for its name, description and any tags. If a prepared sample project is available, you can select it through the existing project controls and try its legal documents. Preparing sample files happens in the background and does not hold you in setup.
Your account's trial and credits appear in the app. Billing and plan changes remain available from their normal controls. See Subscription plans.
Optional roles and practice areas
After your first project is successfully created, or you explicitly choose an available sample project, Judicio can offer Make Judicio yours. This is one large dialog within the app. It waits until your current project surface and other work are ready for it.
All applicable role categories and the complete practice-area catalogue are available together. Scroll the dialog to see every choice; on a narrow screen, the section controls help you reach roles or practice areas.
- Choose up to 5 roles. Your first choice is the primary role; further choices describe additional work you do. Other requires a custom role of up to 120 characters.
- Choose up to 5 practice areas from the full catalogue.
- Save and continue saves a role and at least one practice area, then returns you to your work.
- Skip for now, close or Escape continues without saving new answers.
The automatic offer is shown once. Skipping it does not make it reappear at your next login. You can always edit roles and areas later in Profile settings.
Learn the feature you chose
On an eligible first feature visit, a small invitation offers a short tour of the actual controls. Show me starts it; Not now dismisses it. File-dependent workflows guide you through choosing real documents before moving to the enabled composer. You can skip a running tour at any point.
Watch demo plays an optional recording of that feature. Watching does not change your files, selections or working session. Close the player to continue where you were. View guide opens the written help. A completed first result can offer a separate walkthrough of its sources, findings or export controls.
No recording is required to finish signup or to use a feature. Smaller screens retain the normal controls, recordings and guides even when a spotlight tour is unavailable.
If you bought an Organisation plan
A checkout that is already in progress keeps its payment receipt and entitlement activation. It can continue through Set up your organization and inviting teammates where those steps are still needed. An organisation's default jurisdictions and any US research scope preselect the starting settings for new invitees.
You can finish invitations later from Organisation settings. See Team management for organisation roles and project access.
If a colleague invited you
An invited member keeps the abbreviated team welcome. The organisation provides its plan and default jurisdictions. The welcome asks for your name and optional professional/contact details; a missing US research scope is collected where needed. Continue to dashboard enters the existing workspace.
An invitation does not require you to start an individual trial or create a project before you can use the access your team granted.
