An assistant that reads for what you read for — issue, rule, authority, structure. It drafts the score and the margin comments. You keep the final say on every grade.
No credit card required. 50 submissions free for 14 days.
The same standard on the fortieth paper as the first. Criterion by criterion, no drift by the bottom of the stack.
A drafted score and margin comments in one pass. You review, adjust, and sign — the whole section in an afternoon.
Reads for issue, rule, authority, and structure — not word count or surface polish. It marks what you actually mark.
Grading by hand is the base. Scores and written feedback are two separate things you can switch on, either one, both, or neither, and neither is a step up from the other. You are the pilot in command, and you keep the final say on every grade.
Score and feedback work independently. Turning one on does not turn the other on.
Margin comments drafted in your voice, on what it noticed: a missing pincite, a thin CRAC, an unsupported rule. Keep one, edit it, or strike it. Nothing reaches a student until you sign.
Attention fades across a stack. The last papers get a tired read the first ones never needed, and the standard quietly drifts.
Feedback thins out by the bottom of the pile. Two similar memos come back with different grades and no clear reason.
Not word count, not a plagiarism score. The things a legal-writing instructor actually marks.
Issue, rule, application, conclusion. Whether the argument is built or just asserted.
CRAC, IRAC, and your own frameWhether the rule is cited, the pincite is there, and the authority actually supports the claim.
Bluebook problems, flaggedMemo, brief, or motion. Reads to the conventions of the document the assignment asked for.
Set per assignmentPull submissions, prompts, and rosters from your LMS. Grade in LawGrader. Push scores and report PDFs back to the gradebook, without leaving the page.
Legal Writing I: submissions, roster, and the prompt, pulled in.
