AI assessment for paralegal competency
Rubric-graded, human signed-off. Not a quiz generator.
Free plan - no card required.
Scorafy is the assessment-feedback layer for paralegal and legal-support training and certification. It reads a candidate's open-ended submission - a research memo, a drafted document or letter, a file-management task or a recorded explanation - then maps it to your rubric with cited evidence taken from the work. A qualified assessor reviews every result and signs off before it is recorded, so no judgement is made by software alone. Built for defensibility: every result carries a human sign-off and a full audit trail. It is not a practice-management or matter system - it handles the part where the candidate's work is scored.
What you assess for paralegal competency
- Legal research, including finding the right authority and summarising the position accurately for a supervising lawyer
- Drafting correspondence and court or transactional documents accurately and in the correct form
- File and matter management, including deadlines, document control and an accurate chronology
- Confidentiality, conflicts and ethics, including recognising a conflict and handling client information correctly
- Working within scope, including recognising where a task crosses into giving legal advice and escalating to a lawyer
A worked rubric criterion
You define the criteria and levels. Scorafy grades each answer against them, with the evidence.
Criterion
Researches a legal question and summarises the position accurately
Why a quiz won't cut it
A multiple-choice quiz can confirm a candidate knows a legal term, but it cannot show whether they would research a question accurately, draft a clean document, or recognise when a task has crossed into legal advice. Paralegal competency is careful applied work and judgement about scope, and it lives in the actual research, drafting and how they explain their reasoning. Scorafy grades that open-ended evidence against your rubric, so the real working competence is assessed, not the recall.
Written, video, audio or file
A recorded explanation adds value because a paralegal often has to brief a supervising lawyer concisely. A candidate can upload a recording where they summarise their research or explain how they handled a matter, plus the written research memo or drafted document as files. Scorafy assesses the spoken summary alongside the written work against your rubric, so both the accuracy and the clarity of the briefing are part of the evidence the assessor confirms.
A qualified person signs off
Scorafy drafts the scoring against your rubric and references the evidence. A qualified assessor reviews every result, overrides anything, and finalises it. The AI score is kept alongside the human-final score as an audit trail, so no decision is solely automated and every result can be explained.
Compliance and defensibility
Legal work is confidential and a competency result should be defensible, so a human stays in the loop. Scorafy is built compliance-first under the GDPR and the EU AI Act, which matters when submissions can involve sensitive matter information. A qualified assessor reviews and signs off every result - there is no solely-automated decision. Every score keeps an audit trail showing the rubric applied, the evidence cited, and the assessor who confirmed it, which is what you rely on if a result is challenged.
Frequently asked questions
Can Scorafy assess a research memo and a drafted document?
Yes. A candidate can submit a research memo, a drafted letter or document, and a recorded explanation. Scorafy maps all of it to your rubric, cites the evidence behind each judgement, then a qualified assessor reviews and signs off.
Can the rubric reflect our jurisdiction and document standards?
Yes. You write the rubric, so it can require candidates to research the law and draft in the form your jurisdiction and firm require. Scorafy grades the evidence against those criteria and shows the reasoning behind each score.
Does software decide whether a candidate is competent?
No. Scorafy scores the evidence and shows its reasoning, but a qualified assessor reviews and signs off every result before it is recorded. No competency decision is made by software alone.
Is Scorafy a practice-management or matter system?
No. Scorafy assesses submissions and produces a defensible, human-signed result. It is not your practice-management, document or matter system - it plugs into the part where candidate work is scored and works alongside the tools you already use.
