Examination booklet do not open until instructed

Case briefs, outlines, and exam practice in one place.

Paste the notes you already took. Gavel writes exam-style questions from them, cites the passage each one tests, and drills you with a running clock, a question palette, and answer strikethrough. Written answers come back scored against a rubric you can open.

Exhibit

A law student arguing before a panel of judges at a national moot court competition.
A student argues before a panel at the National Moot Court Competition. The follow-up question is the part nobody rehearses.

Answer these three ways

Every format is built to the standard of a licensing exam: more than one choice can be correct, every wrong answer maps to a named misconception, and written work is graded against a rubric you can open.

Standalone questions

A single fact pattern testing one clean rule. More than one choice can be correct, so elimination stops rescuing you.

4 to 6 choices, one or more correct

Integrated question sets

One fact pattern feeds a run of items: several multiple choice, a short answer, and a medium writing task, all tracking how the same facts move through different doctrines.

About 4 MCQ, 1 short answer, 1 writing task

Performance tasks

A file of cases, statutes, and correspondence plus a memo from a supervising attorney. You produce the actual work product and it is graded against the rubric.

How it works

Four steps, and the first one is work you have already done.

  1. Paste or upload your class notes

    Whatever you already took down. No importing your life into a new app first.

  2. Gavel turns them into exam style questions

    Each one cites the exact line of your notes it came from, so a miss points at the passage rather than at a topic.

  3. Drill them and see where you need the most practice

    Your attempt history picks what comes next, so the questions move toward the rules you keep getting wrong.

  4. What you miss becomes a flashcard

    Scheduled to come back right before you would have forgotten it, and to stop coming back once you would not.

What it costs

The alternative most students actually have is a pile of notes and no way to test themselves against it. Access is the whole position here. Every plan includes everything, and the trial takes seven days before it takes a cent.

What law students have to say about Gavel

One student, so far. Gavel does not print a testimonial it did not receive, and it does not pad the row to look busier.

I stopped rewriting my Civ Pro outline at midnight and started answering questions out of it instead. The questions point back at the exact line of my notes they came from, so when I miss one I know what I actually failed to write down.

Questions students ask first

How are these different from flashcard-app questions?
They are built to the standard of a licensing exam. More than one choice can be correct, so elimination stops rescuing you; every wrong answer maps to a named misconception rather than being filler; and every choice carries its own explanation.
Does this only work if my notes are already good?
No, and that is the point. Questions cite the exact passage they test, and outlines and study guides flag what is missing instead of quietly filling it in, so thin notes surface as gaps to fix rather than as invented doctrine.
What stops the AI from making things up?
Every generated artifact points back at the source it came from. Questions cite the passage of your notes they test, outlines flag gaps rather than filling them with invented doctrine, and briefs can be checked line by line against the case text. AI output is never presented as legal authority on its own.
Who grades my written answers?
Written responses are scored against a rubric you can open and inspect, criterion by criterion. Every question also carries a review status, so you know whether it was AI-drafted, self-reviewed, or attorney-verified before you weigh the result.
Are my class notes private?
Yes. Notes, outlines, briefs, and everything generated from them are scoped to your account. They are not pooled into a shared question bank or used to build content for other students.
Is this a substitute for my course materials?
No. Gavel is a practice supplement, not legal advice. It works from the notes and reading your courses already give you, and everything it generates points back at that material so you can verify it.
