Clinical case management that translates lived experience into forensic-quality evidence tribunals and courts understand.
“The system speaks a language the people it hurts don't speak. MARCUS speaks both.”
A complete advocacy toolkit that turns your story into evidence a tribunal can act on. No legal training required.
Organize evidence, documents, and correspondence into a tribunal-ready structure. Automatic section numbering, exhibit indexing, and cross-referencing across multiple legal tracks.
83+ exhibit types automatically categorized. Photographs, emails, recordings, medical documents, lease agreements, correspondence—each indexed by type, date, and legal relevance.
Every document, every edit, every submission is hash-verified. Forensic chain of custody that proves what was created, when, and by whom. Iron Gate standard.
CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW—every item triaged by urgency and legal significance. Deadlines tracked. Limitation periods flagged. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Unified inbox pulls correspondence into your case file. Auto-classification by legal track—landlord-tenant, human rights, privacy, criminal—all organized in one view.
LTB, HRTO, PIPEDA, OPC, Criminal (OCJ), Superior Court—all in one system. Evidence cross-referenced. Contamination rules enforced. One case file, multiple proceedings.
Full interface in both official languages. File proceedings in French under CJA s.126. Evidence stays in its original language. Official Languages Act compliant from Day 1.
Built as one person's accommodation. Designed for everyone the system was not built to hear. Keyboard navigable. Screen-reader compatible. Because access to justice is not a feature—it is a right.
Runs in any browser. No app store. No account required for individuals. No AI dependency at runtime. Your case file works on a library computer in Attawapiskat or a laptop in downtown Toronto.

MARCUS was built by a disabled Canadian veteran who needed a way to organize his own legal proceedings after the system failed him—repeatedly. Denied benefits. Privacy violated. Disability ignored by a landlord. Eight institutions deep in a pattern of systemic failure.
Instead of giving up, he built a tool. That tool scored a 9.5 out of 10 on forensic case quality—as a self-represented litigant, with no legal training, managing five simultaneous proceedings across four tribunals.
MARCUS is now offered to legal clinics, community organizations, Indigenous communities, and every individual who has been told the system is too complicated for them to navigate alone. It closes the racism and systemic asymmetry that separates those who can afford justice from those who cannot.
It is the cane. And now it is yours.
The system speaks a language the people it hurts don't speak. MARCUS speaks both.
