Disclosed herein is a framework for conducting legal research, writing, and collaboration tasks and accumulating legal knowledge. The framework can contain a body of legal documents. Users can select quotations from the documents, group one or more quotations in a Quote Bundle, and add annotations to the quotations within the Quote Bundles and/or add annotations directly to the Quote Bundles. The quotations, annotations, and Quote Bundles can be shared between users. Furthermore, the Quote Bundles can be integrated with a built-in word processing tool to facilitate the writing process. As a user creates a document, one or more Quote Bundles can be displayed. A user can select a quotation from a Quote Bundle, which can then be added to their document. When a quotation is added to a user created document, the proper citation information can also be added without further action by the user.
