SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps law students improve their exam-style problem question answers by grading and diagnosing their IRAC/CILAC structure, issue-spotting, rule accuracy, analysis depth, and organisation without rewriting the essay for them.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IRAC/CILAC structure grading: Checks whether your answer follows the correct exam framework (including IRAC vs CILAC variants) and whether it is organised in a way that earns marks.
  • Issue-spotting and rule accuracy review: Identifies issues spotted/missed and flags rule statements that are incomplete or need verification, while using conservative confidence labels when uncertain.
  • Application and analysis depth feedback: Assesses whether rules are actually applied to the specific facts (not just repeated) and highlights where mapping is weak.
  • Pattern tracking across sessions: Records feedback to a persistent session tracker so you can see repeated weaknesses after multiple submissions.

Quick Start

Paste your IRAC/CILAC essay (or the hypo plus your answer) and ask the plugin to grade your IRAC structure and give top fixes.
