01what it is

What it does.

A directory of all 198 active J.D. programs on the ABA Council's list, with school profiles for admissions, costs, employment outcomes and bar passage drawn from the schools' own official disclosures, areas of law, side-by-side comparison, and a private applicant workspace. Missing values read Not reported, never zero.

It never ranks schools, never names a comparison winner and gives no admission probabilities — only where a score falls against a school's published percentiles.

Real screens, in order.

Captured from the live deployment. Each caption describes what the screen actually shows.

03engineering

How it is built.

Official-source ingestion with provenance (source URL, retrieval time, content hash, report year), a review queue for crawled findings so nothing is published automatically, row-level security, and an optional AI advisor that answers only from the app's own sourced records.
