Many individuals avoid obtaining legal documents, like wills, because they don't know how to do it themselves and don't want to pay an attorney's fee, Richards said. Although Web sites that provide legal documents already exist, the founders said they aren't reliable. True Counsel would use the services of real lawyers to ensure accuracy.

"We're making high-quality documents available at an affordable cost for the very first time," said co-founder Kurt Avarell, also a second-year law student.

Avarell and Richards received a check for $35,000 to aid in building their business.

The third-place team, Mobile OX, provides Internet users with their own personalized domain names. The team already has users in 15 different countries as well as some closer to home, including BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall.

Mobile OX owns more than 4,500 domain names, and users simply pick which one they would like to place after their name. For example, one of the company's founders uses the domain "James.lovesmegan.com." It's free to sign up for a personal domain, so founders forecast most of their revenue will come through selling space for advertisements that would appear as links on the user's screen.

The company won $15,000.
