SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps law students improve their IRAC-style legal writing by grading structure, issue-spotting, rule accuracy, analysis depth, and organization without rewriting the essay.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IRAC structure grading: Evaluates whether the student followed an IRAC/IRAC-under-the-hood structure, including organization and responsiveness to the prompt.
  • Issue-spotting & rule accuracy review: Identifies issues spotted, missed, or mis-identified, and flags rule elements that are incomplete or uncertain.
  • Analysis depth and mapping checks: Assesses whether rules are actually applied to specific facts (including whether the writing connects reasoning with “because/here”-style mapping).
  • Pattern tracking across sessions: Appends session outcomes to a per-student tracker and surfaces recurring gaps after multiple attempts.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to grade your IRAC by pasting the hypo and your written answer and saying “grade my IRAC.”

FAQPage Schema
How do I get feedback on my legal writing IRAC structure?

To grade your IRAC structure, paste your practice hypo and written essay answer, then ask the tool to grade your IRAC. It evaluates issue spotting, rule accuracy, analysis application, and organization without rewriting your essay.

What does IRAC grading check for in a law student practice essay?

IRAC grading checks whether you followed IRAC structure, spotted or missed legal issues, stated rules accurately, and applied rules to specific facts using reasoning mapping. It also appends outcomes to a session tracker to surface recurring gaps.

Can I practice IRAC essays with a generated hypo if I don't have a prompt?

Yes, you can practice IRAC essays without a prompt. The tool produces a skill-generated hypo for you to answer, then grades your submitted response on legal writing structure, rule accuracy, and issue spotting.

How is rule application evaluated in an IRAC essay?

Rule application is evaluated by assessing analysis depth and checking whether your writing connects legal reasoning to specific facts using mapping words like because or here. This ensures rules are actually applied to the facts rather than just restated.

Does IRAC grading track my writing patterns across multiple practice sessions?

Yes, IRAC grading tracks your writing patterns across multiple sessions. It appends outcomes to a persistent per-student tracker and surfaces recurring gaps in issue spotting and rule accuracy after multiple attempts.

Will the grader rewrite my law essay to fix the IRAC structure?

No, the grader will not rewrite your law essay. It provides feedback on your IRAC structure, flags incomplete rule elements, and identifies missed issues so you can revise the legal writing yourself.
