SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Students struggle to improve legal writing structure and citation form because feedback often becomes a rewrite instead of a learning tool.

Core Features & Use Cases

Structural feedback without rewriting that targets organisation, analysis depth, clarity, and OSCOLA citation form for common UK law writing types (memo, advice letter, brief, opinion, paper, exam essay). Type-specific critique that first identifies the document type and then checks whether the structure matches its purpose (e.g., advocacy priority for a brief vs neutral analysis for a memo). Confidence discipline with verification cues that gives [VERIFY] flags for any substantive rule call or OSCOLA edge case it is unsure about, and preserves the student’s own drafting.

Quick Start

Ask the AI for legal-writing feedback by pasting your draft or telling it the file path to your document, and then request a structural critique in OSCOLA-aware form.

What is the best way to improve the analysis depth in a legal opinion draft?▼

How do I handle uncertain substantive rules or citation edge cases in my legal draft?▼
