[Verse 1] Sarah built a case management app, sleek interface pristine But lawyers kept their yellow pads, ignored her digital machine She coded workflows lightning fast, assumed they'd love efficiency But missed the ritual of red ink, the margin notes they need to see [Chorus] Know their world before you build Billable hours, client files Discovery deadlines never yield Precedent spans legal miles R-E-S-E-A-R-C-H first Before you code, know their thirst For tools that match their mental maps Bridge the courtroom-keyboard gaps [Verse 2] Partnership reviews at dawn, associates pull all-nighters Compliance scans through thousands pages, regulatory fire-fighters Your automation sounds divine, but partners fear the liability One missed clause costs millions more than manual capability [Chorus] Know their world before you build Billable hours, client files Discovery deadlines never yield Precedent spans legal miles R-E-S-E-A-R-C-H first Before you code, know their thirst For tools that match their mental maps Bridge the courtroom-keyboard gaps [Verse 3] Document review needs audit trails, every edit tracked and signed Client privilege walls run deep, confidentiality designed Integration breaks their bar rules, cloud storage raises flags Your brilliant AI legal search hits regulatory snags [Bridge] Shadow paralegals for a week Watch depositions, hear them speak Sit in strategy sessions late Feel the pressure, court date weight Only then your pixels sing Build what makes their gavels ring [Chorus] Know their world before you build Billable hours, client files Discovery deadlines never yield Precedent spans legal miles R-E-S-E-A-R-C-H first Before you code, know their thirst For tools that match their mental maps Bridge the courtroom-keyboard gaps [Outro] Legal tech that lawyers use Speaks their language, shares their views Domain knowledge wins the case Code follows, never leads the chase
