Projects
The Lab's active work, organized by cluster.
The Lab organizes its work into clusters of related projects. Each cluster shares infrastructure, owners, or a common audience — and each project inside a cluster has its own scope, status, and pillar alignment.
Assessment Tools
AI on both sides of the law-school exam — taking, grading, and helping faculty write better questions.
Exam Grader
Calibration-based AI grading for law-school essay exams — deployed against Polk's Spring 2026 IP class.
Exam Taker
Wave 2 of the AI Final Exam Project — putting current models against real Penn Carey Law finals and reporting what they can and can't do.
Essay Creator
Generate assessment-grade essay exams — issue spotters and fact-pattern questions — with rubrics built for AI-assisted grading.
MCQ Creator
Generate law-school multiple-choice questions with built-in distractor validation and psychometric quality controls.
Teaching Tools
The connective tissue of a course — extraction, casebooks, virtual TAs, simulations, and the templates that hold them together.
Course Materials
An extraction primitive: turn the messy artifacts of a real course — PDFs, slide decks, casebook excerpts, syllabi — into clean structured text that downstream tools can use.
Casebook Builder
Curate and edit cases into custom course casebooks — pilot deployment with Ted Ruger's Spring 2027 Legislation class.
Course-Website Tooling
Generalize the Legal Education at Model Velocity microsite into reusable templates the Lab and others can deploy quickly.
Heron — Virtual TA Slackbot
Pedagogy infrastructure: a Slackbot that serves as a 24/7 virtual teaching assistant for course use.
Class Simulations
AI-driven simulations built around the actual class problems law students work through each week — starting with patent law.
Judiciary
The Lab's research partnership with federal courts and the Delaware Court of Chancery.
Training
Training materials for legal-education audiences — and the cross-Penn version of the same package.
Newsletter
The pipeline behind the Lab's monthly AI Updates newsletter.
Shipped Artifacts
Lab work already in the world — public-facing artifacts you can read, listen to, and use.
