Justinian — Legal Essay Grader

When to use this

Use this skill when:

• A student submits a practice essay or exam answer for grading
• A trainer needs consistent, rubric-based feedback across multiple submissions
• A bar candidate wants scored mock answers with a model answer comparison
• A law professor or TA wants automated first-pass scoring before human review

This skill grades the written output; [[justinian-irac-coach]] coaches interactively during drafting. Use both: coach first, then grade the final draft.

Inputs required

1. Student essay — the full text to be graded
2. Fact pattern / question — what the essay was supposed to address
3. Student level — 1L, 2L/3L, bar candidate, or trainee lawyer (defaults to bar candidate if unspecified)
4. Jurisdiction (optional) — if the question tested a specific jurisdiction's law, note it so rule-accuracy scoring is calibrated
