Source Pack and Argument Map
Two structured tools that sit alongside the workflow — a proper record of what you are relying on, and your reasoning as a structure you can see.
Source Pack
A record of what you are relying on. Each entry has a type — case, statute, textbook, journal article, lecture material, official guidance, website or other — with a title, a citation or link, and your own note.
These labels describe the source category. They are not an endorsement, and do not mean a source is correct, relevant, or verified.
Durmah does not fetch or parse the links you save, and it does not vouch for what is behind them. Verifying a source remains your job — and it is the part of legal research that actually builds judgement.
Argument Map
Your reasoning laid out as a structure you can see. Nodes can be a central question, a position, a proposition, a reason, a counterargument, a response, an unresolved question or a conclusion — connected by supports, challenges or responds-to relationships.
This is a structure for your own reasoning. Durmah does not create the propositions, arguments, sources, or conclusion for you. Your final argument and wording must be your own.
Most students map their own argument and stop. The marks are in the response nodes — where you name the strongest objection and answer it. If a branch has no counterargument, you have probably not finished thinking about it.

Where a piece of assessed work lives from the moment you receive the brief to the moment before you submit — with Durmah as a tutor, not a writer.
Research Hub
Finding authority properly — with a research method, verified authorities, and unverified leads clearly separated from them.
Mark My Paper: diagnostic review of your own draft
Give it your draft and it returns structured feedback — what is working, what is weak, what to fix first, and how to spend your next two hours.
Still stuck?
Ask Durmah — it knows this manual and can point you to the right section. If the manual itself is wrong, out of date or unclear, tell us and we will fix it. Documentation errors are treated as product bugs.

It is not legal advice. Where this manual and your module handbook disagree, your module handbook is authoritative.
