SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps law students practice IRAC by giving structured, non-generative grading feedback on their writing—catching missing issues, weak rule accuracy, shallow application, and disorganized organization—without writing the paper for them.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IRAC-focused scoring: Evaluates case-issue identification, rule accuracy, application quality, conclusion responsiveness, and organization/flow.
  • Pattern tracking across sessions: Logs strengths and recurring weaknesses to a per-student tracker after repeated practice.
  • Safety guardrails for real scenarios: Detects when the user’s prompt looks like a real-world personal/legal matter and instructs them to seek a real lawyer, while still supporting learning/understanding concepts.

Quick Start

Use the irac-practice skill to grade your IRAC draft by providing the case prompt (or asking it to generate one) and pasting your answer.

FAQPage Schema
How do I practice IRAC legal writing and get feedback on issue spotting?

You can practice IRAC legal writing by pasting your draft answer into the grader, which evaluates issue spotting, rule accuracy, application, and organization to provide structured feedback without rewriting your paper.

Can I use an IRAC grader to track my legal writing weaknesses across multiple practice sessions?

Yes, the IRAC grader logs your strengths and recurring weaknesses to a per-student session tracker after each repeated practice, allowing you to monitor your legal writing pattern improvements over time.

Does the IRAC practice grader generate hypothetical legal prompts for law students?

Yes, the IRAC practice grader supports skill-generated hypothetical prompts, allowing law students to request a scenario and write a response that is then graded on rule application and issue spotting accuracy.

What is the best way to grade a law student's rule-to-fact application without writing the answer for them?

The best way is to use a non-generative grading tool that evaluates rule-to-fact application and identifies missing components, providing prioritized top edits instead of rewriting the legal analysis.

Are there limitations when using an automated IRAC grader for real-world legal matters?

Yes, a key limitation is the safety guardrail: if your prompt resembles a real-world personal legal matter, the grader stops analysis and instructs you to seek a real lawyer, restricting use to learning concepts only.
