Legal-aid clinics
Place the citation verifier in front of pro se litigants you serve. We provide free access and onboarding; you tell us what works and what doesn’t. Pilots typically last 8–12 weeks.

Who we work with
DraftGrade exists to make professional-grade quality control on legal drafts available to the people who can’t pay for it. That mission requires partners: clinics who place the tool in front of real pro se litigants, law schools who teach the rubric, bar associations who endorse the methodology, and academics who audit it.
Current partners
None publicly listed yet. We are in early conversations with a small number of legal-aid organizations and access-to-justice clinics. As partnerships go live, they will appear here with their permission.
Last updated 2026-05-24. If this list says “none” six months from now, we’d be the first to be frustrated about it.
What we’re looking for
Law schools
Use the open rubric and calibration set in legal writing courses, moot court prep, or clinics. The rubric is CC-BY-SA; you can fork, adapt, and ship classroom materials.
Bar associations
Endorse the methodology, audit the calibration set, contribute a jurisdiction module to the open methodology (see the open commons on GitHub). Methodology updates can go through your own rule-making process.
Academic researchers
Inter-rater reliability studies, comparative-rubric work, hallucination-rate measurement, accessibility audits. The calibration set is public and stable for citation in published work.
