LawGrader is built on one principle: the assistant helps you grade faster and more consistently, but it never grades for you. Every score is yours.
What the assistant does
Against the rubric you define, the assistant reads each submission and proposes a score for each criterion, with a short justification and comments tied to specific passages. Think of it as a well-prepared first read, so you react to something concrete instead of starting from a blank page.
What you decide
- Scores are proposals. You adopt, adjust, or override any of them. Your number is the grade.
- Comments are reviewable. Keep the ones that help, dismiss the rest.
- Nothing reaches a student until you release it. Grading and releasing are separate steps, on purpose.
You choose how much help
Per assignment, you decide how far the assistant goes: read and surface observations, propose scores against your rubric, or draft student-facing feedback. You can turn that up or down at any time. Set to the lightest setting, the assistant simply reads and never proposes a score.
The goal is faster, fairer, more consistent feedback for students, with your judgment in charge the whole way.
