How LegalCV works

LegalCV is a free Canadian legal resume formatter for articling, summer student, clerkship, in-house, and associate applications. No account is required.

1. Upload

Choose a PDF or DOCX (up to 10 MB). We validate the file type and size in your browser, then extract the text locally before anything leaves your device.

2. Parse Canadian legal credentials

Extracted text is sent through our Supabase Edge Function to OpenAI, which structures your content into a resume schema. The prompt is tuned for Canadian legal patterns such as bar admissions, NCA, dual degrees (for example BCL/LL.B.), articling, and summer student roles. The model may miss or misread details — always review the output.

3. Pick a style

Choose classic, modern, and/or minimal. These are typography and layout variants, not practice-area marketplaces. They aim for clean section order and readable fonts preferred in conservative legal hiring screens.

4. Optional recruiting share

You can skip this step. If you opt in, you consent to store your name, email, and original resume for recruiting contact. Formatting alone does not create a recruiting profile.

5. Download

Preview and download PDF copies generated in your browser. Review every line before you apply.
