Welcome to Lawcus 2.0 (Beta)!
Our biggest update of 2024 is here, and we’re excited to introduce Lawcus 2.0—a sleek, modern interface designed to simplify and improve your experience. With new features and improved design, Lawcus 2.0 gives you more control and flexibility.
Choosing Your UI: Old vs. New
You have the power to decide which user interface suits you best. If you prefer the old UI, no action is required—keep using Lawcus as you always have. Ready to explore the new interface? Click on your avatar icon and use the “Switch Toggle” option to seamlessly move between the old and new UIs. Learn how to switch to Lawcus 2.0.
So that you know, the old UI will be phased out gradually. For a smoother experience, we recommend transitioning as soon as possible.
