La Corte Dice: from a legal website to a subscription app

La Corte Dice has published the criteria of Ecuador's Constitutional Court since 2020. My team built its website in 2021. Now I built the next step: a subscription app with the whole library in your pocket.

Five years, two products.
Same client, next step.

  1. 2020The initiativeIts founders start #LaCorteDice to explain what Ecuador's Constitutional Court decides, in plain language.
  2. 2021The websiteMy team builds lacortedice.com: a searchable library of criteria, books and subscriptions.
  3. 2026The appThe library moves to iOS and Android, on the same WordPress back end, with a subscription built in and a free week to try it.

Case law you can actually read.
On the phone, between hearings.

Made for students, judges, professors, journalists and lawyers who need a criterion fast, and need to cite it right.

Criteria by topic

Criminal law, cassation, precedents, full reparation and more, each with its number of criteria.

Exact citation

Every criterion comes with its ruling number and paragraph, ready to quote.

Search

Find a criterion by topic or keyword in seconds.

Favorites

Star the criteria you want to read again. They wait in their own tab.

Long-form reading

Typography and spacing designed for long legal texts, not for scrolling past.

Same back end since 2021

The team keeps publishing in the WordPress they already know. The app reads from it, so new criteria reach every subscriber without extra work.

A paywall that invites.
Three screens, then a free week.

The first launch explains the app in three screens: what's inside, how favorites work and how to subscribe. The last one offers a 7-day free trial, then a yearly or monthly plan. Readers can cancel anytime from their App Store or Google Play account.

  • $49.99per year · 7 days free
  • $4.99per month

Purchases, trials and renewals run through the App Store, Google Play and RevenueCat, so the client sees every subscriber in one dashboard.
