A law firm rebuilt Mike's foundations so the whole app runs inside its own Azure cloud, with staff signing in through the Microsoft accounts they already use.

Mike rebranded as Docket: an Azure-hosted legal assistant with CourtListener case-law lookup and admin oversight of chats.
Cpodlaskilegal has taken Mike and turned it into Docket. Same assistant underneath, different name on the door, and a set of changes that read like someone fitting the product to a real legal practice rather than experimenting. The handle itself is the strongest identity signal we have: it looks like a law-practice account, and the work matches that.
The most visible additions are a CourtListener hookup for pulling case law, a connector subsystem built on MCP for wiring in outside tools, and an admin/user role split where admins can read any chat in the workspace. That last one matters if you're evaluating this for a firm: it's supervision built in, not bolted on. Signing in also runs through Box, which suggests the practice already lives there for documents.
On the operations side, the fork moved off Supabase entirely and now runs on Azure Container Apps with Microsoft Entra ID sign-in - a Microsoft-shop deployment story through and through. It also added OpenAI as a third model provider alongside Claude and Gemini, and it still pulls in upstream Mike's changes rather than drifting away. If you want to see how a working firm adapts Mike for daily use, this is one of the better forks to read.
What's in it
- Docket rebrand The product now presents as Docket, not Mike - a full rename, not a logo swap.
- CourtListener case-law lookup The assistant can reach into CourtListener, the free federal and state case-law database, during research.
- MCP connector subsystem A framework for plugging external tools and data sources into the assistant via the Model Context Protocol.
- Admin roles with chat oversight Workspaces get an admin/user split; admins can read any chat. Useful where supervision of AI use is a requirement, worth knowing either way.
- Box-backed sign-in Authentication runs through Box, pointing at a practice that already keeps its documents there.
- Azure deployment with Entra ID The whole app moved off Supabase onto Azure Container Apps, with Microsoft Entra ID handling identity.
- Three model providers OpenAI joins Claude and Gemini, with the reasoning level tuned per model tier.

📝 Cpodlaskilegal makes Box the front door and gives one admin the master key 2 commits 17d ago securityintegration draft
This fork is shaping up as a locked-down internal firm tool: no document storage connection, no app.

Seven weeks of work landed at once: a new identity, plug-in connections to practice software, and free case-law research inside the chat.
Instead of drifting off into a private island, this fork just absorbed the main Mike project's latest release, friction and all.
