Mentor by Lawyers
Mentor is a Q&A service from By Lawyers, the Australian legal publisher whose guides sit inside LEAP Legal Software. A lawyer asks a general-practice question and an experienced practitioner answers by email, usually within 24 hours. Universal Favourite designed it; we built version 2 in 2017 and still host and look after it.

The brief
By Lawyers needed version 2 of a running service: take subscriptions, route each question to its author and publish the answers.
Universal Favourite designed it. We built it in 2017 and still host and look after it.
What we built
Ask a question
Subscribers ask a general-practice question; an experienced practitioner answers by email, usually within 24 hours.
Knowledge base
More than 8,700 answered Q&As, browsable by area of law and made public in 2023.
Question of the Week
A weekly pick from the archive, told with photography, so the best answers find new readers.
Subscriptions
Monthly and annual plans with Stripe, rebuilt in 2020 for 3D Secure payments.
The authors
Profiles of the lawyers behind the answers, so subscribers know who they are asking.
Kept current
Upgraded from Laravel 5.8 to 8 in 2020 with end-to-end tests in Cypress, then moved to Docker in 2023.
