SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps law students convert a single pass of reading into confident performance during cold calls by predicting the professor’s likely questions and drilling the reasoning process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cold-call question prediction: Generates 6–10 likely questions across Facts, Holding/Rule, Reasoning, Application/Hypos, and Policy/Theory, weighted to the professor’s known tendencies.
  • Socratic drilling without answer-giving: Runs an interactive drill loop that forces the student to explain, narrow, and correct misunderstandings—flagging uncertainty when case details are missing.
  • Reading-focused confidence check: Includes a “real-matter check” to stop the workflow when the user’s question sounds like a real legal situation, steering them to proper legal support instead.

Quick Start

Tell the skill the case name and your professor/class, then paste the case text or casebook pages you were assigned so it can predict questions and run the Socratic drill.

Can I predict what questions my law professor will ask during a cold call?

Yes, you can predict cold call questions by providing your case text and class context. The Skill generates 6–10 questions weighted to your professor's known tendencies across categories like Facts, Holding, Application, and Policy for targeted class prep.

How do I practice case briefing for class without just reading the answers?

Practice case briefing for class by running an interactive Socratic drill loop. The Skill forces you to explain, narrow, and correct misunderstandings without giving you the answers, flagging uncertainty when case details are missing so you know what to re-check.

What do I need to start preparing for a law school cold call?

To start cold call prep, you need your professor and class context loaded into the local configuration, plus the case name or pasted case text. Tell the Skill your assigned casebook pages so it can predict questions and run the interactive drill.

How do I check if I'm ready for a law school cold call tomorrow?

Check your cold call readiness by completing the Socratic drill and reviewing the post-drill summary. The Skill produces a summary categorizing your answers into strong, shaky, and missed items, explicitly listing what you need to re-check before class.

Will a cold call prep tool answer real legal situations I'm facing?

No, a cold call prep tool will not answer real legal situations. The Skill includes a real-matter check that stops the workflow if your question sounds like an actual legal issue, steering you to proper legal support instead of providing legal advice.
