REVIEWER & ADVISORY STANDARDS

Participation is not the same thing as endorsement.

Testify separates beta product feedback, substantive legal review, approved public testimony, and any future advisory role. A person’s name should appear publicly only for work and wording that person actually authorized.

Law Student

May evaluate usability, clarity, course fit, study workflow, confusing questions, and product friction. Student beta participation does not establish legal-content approval.

Bar Candidate / Graduate

May evaluate exam-prep workflow, realism, timing, writing practice, explanations, and study utility. Participation does not establish an official pass prediction or exam endorsement.

Attorney

May be asked to review assigned subject matter, writing, explanations, or practical-lawyering exercises. Public attribution must identify the actual scope rather than implying review of the entire product.

Professor / Faculty

May be asked to review assigned doctrinal or skills content. A faculty member’s participation does not imply the faculty member’s law school endorses Testify unless the institution separately authorizes that statement.

PUBLIC ATTRIBUTION

Names, roles, and quotes require permission.

For public testimony, Testify uses the exact wording separately approved for publication and abbreviates names by default unless broader attribution is authorized. Internal beta rosters are not public endorsement lists.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

Reviewer cards should say what was actually reviewed.

Future reviewer profiles can support name, professional role, subject expertise, approved affiliation, review scope, approved quote, and review round/date. Testify should not infer an expert’s approval of content outside the documented scope.

CORRECTIONS

Critical feedback is part of the job.

Reviewers are encouraged to flag inaccurate law, ambiguity, weak distractors, explanation problems, outdated authority, poor mobile behavior, inaccessible design, and unclear instructions. Negative feedback does not affect eligibility to participate and is not converted into promotional consent.

No implied affiliation: A reviewer’s participation does not imply endorsement by NCBE, a state bar, a court, a law school, or the reviewer’s employer unless that separate endorsement actually exists and is authorized.
