Look like a lawyer in your second year, in your second month.
Quillio helps Australian graduate lawyers in supervised practice produce better first drafts, faster research, and cleaner chronologies — so your supervisor is reviewing work, not rebuilding it.
Quillio is the AI legal assistant for Australian graduate lawyers in supervised practice under the Uniform Law (or equivalent regime in WA and NT). It is trained weekly on AU law with source citations on every output, it helps graduates produce stronger first drafts for their supervising lawyer to review, and it is explicitly designed to support — not replace — the supervision process that every graduate is required to complete.
What gets in the way
The frustrations we hear from graduate lawyers again and again.
Supervised practice is steep and public
Your first two years are graded, reviewed, and compared. Every piece of work goes to a supervising lawyer. Turning in a bad first draft costs everyone's time — yours, theirs, and the client's.
You do not yet know what you do not know
Research takes longer than it will in three years because you are still learning where to look, which authorities matter, and how to weight conflicting decisions. A tool that surfaces the leading authorities with citations is genuine scaffolding.
You cannot use ChatGPT without risk
The cases of graduates and junior lawyers citing fabricated ChatGPT authorities have made international news. General AI without legal training and source citation is a career risk at the graduate stage — not a productivity tool.
Your supervisor is busy
The partner or senior associate supervising you has their own matters, their own deadlines, and their own pressure. Work that needs heavy rebuilding eats into their time and affects the relationship you rely on for your supervised practice sign-off.
Built for how graduate lawyers actually work
Source citations on every research result
Every answer links back to the underlying AU authority. You can verify before you rely — supporting both your duty of competence and your supervisor's review.
Drafts your supervisor can review, not rebuild
First-draft letters, research memos, and outlines written in AU legal style. Your supervisor reviews and refines rather than starting over.
Trained weekly on AU law
Current Australian legislation and case law across every major practice area, updated weekly — so the authorities you rely on are actually current.
A tool that supports supervision, not replaces it
Quillio is explicitly designed to sit inside a supervised practice context. The audit trail and source-citation grounding make it easier for your supervising lawyer to check your work, not harder.
Per-user pricing for individual graduates
If your firm does not provide Quillio, you can sign up yourself — per-user pricing, free trial, no enterprise sales cycle.

From sign-up to fitting your day
Sign up — free trial
If your firm provides Quillio, ask for access. If not, sign up yourself for the free trial — no credit card required.
Tell your supervisor you are using it
Transparency matters at the graduate stage. Let your supervisor know you are using Quillio for research and first drafts, so the review process is honest and your professional development is on solid ground.
Use it for first drafts, not final answers
The highest-value workflow for a graduate is: Quillio produces the first draft, you review and edit it against the citations, your supervisor reviews the refined version. Three-step process, all value.
Per-user pricing. Free trial. Graduate-friendly.
Quillio is priced per user per month — published on our pricing page. The free trial requires no credit card. Many firms provide Quillio to graduates as part of their tooling — if yours does not, you can sign up yourself.

Is it ethical for a graduate in supervised practice to use AI?
Using a legal AI tool like Quillio is compatible with supervised practice under the Uniform Law and equivalent regimes, provided you use it transparently. That means telling your supervisor you are using it, verifying every citation before relying on it, and treating Quillio output as a first draft rather than a final answer. The state law societies have issued guidance broadly supporting this approach; the key is transparency and verification.
How is Quillio different from using ChatGPT for my research?
ChatGPT is a general-purpose AI without legal-specific training, source citations, or AU jurisdiction depth — and has been documented to fabricate case citations that do not exist. Graduates and lawyers in Australia, the US, and the UK have been publicly embarrassed (and in some cases disciplined) for citing ChatGPT-generated fake cases. Quillio is purpose-built for legal practice with source citations on every output — so you can verify before you rely.
Should I tell my supervisor I am using Quillio?
Yes. Transparency with your supervising lawyer is one of the core obligations of supervised practice — and using a tool like Quillio is something they will want to know about. In practice, most supervisors are relieved when graduates use a legal-specific AI with source citations rather than a general tool without them. It is a better starting position for the conversation.
Can I use Quillio for PLT / PEXA / admission coursework?
Check your PLT provider's AI policy before using Quillio (or any AI tool) for assessment work. Most providers allow AI use for research and drafting practice with disclosure, but require your final submitted work to be your own. Quillio is a tool; your PLT is about developing your own legal judgment.
What if my firm does not provide Quillio?
You can sign up for the free trial yourself — per-user pricing, no credit card. Many graduates find Quillio personally and bring it into their firm once they have seen the impact on their own work. If that is you, talk to your firm's knowledge management lead about a wider trial.
Will Quillio replace me as a graduate?
No — and anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something. Graduates do far more than research and first drafts: you are building judgment, client skills, and the legal instinct you will rely on for the rest of your career. Quillio shifts the time you would have spent on mechanical research and drafting toward the work that actually builds those skills.
Try Quillio on your own work.
For a graduate lawyer, the best path is to start the free trial on your own (no credit card, no sales call), use it on research and first drafts for a week, and then tell your supervisor what you are doing and why. Bringing a legal-specific AI with source citations into a transparent supervision conversation is a far stronger position than the alternatives.
