1. Legal Case Summary
A concise but comprehensive case summary can make complex legal matters easier to review and communicate. This prompt focuses on facts, issues, procedural history, evidence, and legal questions without inventing missing information.
Prompt:
Act as a senior legal research and case-analysis assistant. Analyze the legal case information I provide and create a structured case summary covering the parties involved, relevant facts, chronology of events, procedural history, claims and defenses, key evidence, disputed facts, legal issues, applicable laws, and unresolved questions. Clearly separate confirmed facts from allegations, assumptions, and missing information. Do not invent statutes, cases, evidence, dates, or legal conclusions. Use precise professional legal language and identify areas that require verification by a qualified attorney before the analysis is relied upon.
2. Legal Issue Spotting
This prompt helps identify the main and secondary legal questions hidden inside a complicated factual situation. It is useful when a lawyer needs a structured starting point for deeper research.
Prompt:
Review the factual scenario I provide as a legal issue-spotting assistant. Identify every potentially relevant legal issue, including the primary legal question, secondary issues, procedural concerns, jurisdictional questions, evidentiary issues, contractual questions, potential liabilities, defenses, and possible conflicts between competing legal principles. For each issue, explain which facts trigger the issue, what additional facts are needed, and what legal authorities should be researched. Do not assume a specific jurisdiction unless I provide one, and clearly label anything that requires jurisdiction-specific verification.
3. Legal Research Strategy
This prompt creates a research roadmap before searching for statutes, regulations, case law, or other authorities. It helps organize research rather than pretending that unverified legal information is authoritative.
Prompt:
Act as an experienced legal research strategist. Based on the legal problem I provide, create a detailed research plan that identifies the controlling legal questions, relevant statutory areas, regulations, procedural rules, constitutional or common-law principles where applicable, and categories of case law that should be investigated. Prioritize primary sources over secondary commentary and explain what facts must be confirmed before applying each authority. Organize the research into logical stages and provide suggested search terms and legal concepts. Never fabricate citations or claim that an authority exists without verification.
4. Contract Review
This prompt helps lawyers systematically review agreements for important provisions, ambiguities, obligations, and potential risks.
Prompt:
Review the contract I provide from the perspective of a careful commercial lawyer. Analyze the parties, definitions, scope of obligations, payment terms, deadlines, representations and warranties, indemnification, limitation of liability, confidentiality, intellectual property, termination, renewal, dispute resolution, governing law, force majeure, assignment, notice requirements, and other material provisions. Identify ambiguous language, conflicting clauses, unusual obligations, missing protections, commercially significant risks, and provisions that deserve clarification. Quote only the necessary contract language, never invent missing clauses, and distinguish between legal observations and issues that require jurisdiction-specific legal advice.
5. Contract Clause Analysis
This prompt focuses on individual clauses that may have significant legal or commercial consequences.
Prompt:
Analyze the contract clause I provide as a legal drafting and risk-review assistant. Explain the clause in plain English, identify the obligations imposed on each party, describe the practical consequences, highlight ambiguity or potentially unfavorable wording, and identify interactions with other clauses that may affect its interpretation. Explain what questions a lawyer should investigate before accepting or revising the provision. Where appropriate, provide alternative drafting concepts rather than presenting unverified language as legally sufficient. Do not assume enforceability without knowing the applicable jurisdiction and complete agreement.
6. Legal Document Proofreading
This prompt helps detect drafting problems while preserving the intended legal meaning of a document.
Prompt:
Proofread the legal document I provide as an experienced legal editor. Check grammar, spelling, punctuation, terminology consistency, defined terms, numbering, cross-references, dates, party names, formatting, sentence structure, ambiguity, contradictory wording, and obvious drafting inconsistencies. Preserve the intended legal meaning and do not silently change substantive obligations. Present each significant issue with the original wording, the suggested revision, and a short explanation of why the change may improve clarity or consistency. Flag substantive legal concerns separately so they can be reviewed by the responsible attorney.
7. Demand Letter Drafting
This prompt helps structure a professional demand letter while keeping factual and legal claims grounded in the information supplied.
Prompt:
Draft a professional demand letter based strictly on the facts, documents, and objectives I provide. Clearly identify the parties, relevant events, contractual or legal basis of the demand, specific conduct at issue, requested remedy, applicable deadline, and proposed next steps. Use firm but professional language and avoid unnecessary threats, exaggeration, unsupported allegations, or statements of law that have not been verified. Clearly distinguish established facts from disputed allegations. Include placeholders for missing information and identify any legal assertions that should be reviewed and confirmed by a qualified attorney before sending.
8. Client Intake Questionnaire
This prompt creates a structured questionnaire for collecting relevant information from a prospective legal client.
Prompt:
Create a detailed client intake questionnaire for the legal matter I describe. Organize the questions into client identification, parties involved, chronology, agreements, communications, financial information, witnesses, evidence, previous legal action, deadlines, damages, desired outcome, and other matter-specific categories. Prioritize questions that could materially affect legal analysis or procedural deadlines. Use clear language that a non-lawyer can understand while maintaining professional terminology where necessary. Avoid requesting unnecessary sensitive information and include a reminder that submitting an intake form does not automatically create an attorney-client relationship unless the firm confirms that relationship.
9. Deposition Preparation
This prompt helps organize preparation for testimony by identifying factual areas, inconsistencies, documents, and likely topics.
Prompt:
Act as a deposition-preparation assistant for the legal matter I provide. Organize the known facts, chronology, relevant documents, disputed issues, prior statements, communications, witnesses, and potential areas of questioning. Create realistic categories of questions that opposing counsel might explore, including questions designed to test credibility, knowledge, timelines, inconsistencies, damages, relationships, and documentary evidence. Do not coach the witness to mislead, conceal information, or provide false testimony. Instead, emphasize accurate recollection, careful listening, truthful answers, and clarification when the witness does not know or remember something.
10. Evidence Organization
This prompt turns a large collection of case materials into a more manageable evidence framework.
Prompt:
Organize the evidence I provide into a structured legal evidence matrix. For each document, communication, photograph, recording, testimony, or other item, identify its source, date, relevant parties, factual issue addressed, potential significance, relationship to other evidence, authenticity concerns, and whether additional verification may be required. Separate direct evidence from circumstantial evidence and established information from disputed claims. Do not determine admissibility unless the applicable jurisdiction and evidentiary rules are provided and verified. Highlight missing evidence and contradictions that should receive attorney review.
11. Chronology of Events
This prompt creates a precise timeline that can help lawyers understand how a dispute developed.
Prompt:
Create a detailed chronological timeline from the information I provide. List every relevant event in date and time order where available, including communications, agreements, payments, notices, incidents, filings, decisions, and other legally significant actions. For each event, identify the people or entities involved, supporting evidence, source of the information, and any uncertainty about the date or facts. Clearly mark conflicting accounts and missing periods instead of filling gaps with assumptions. At the end, identify important chronological patterns, deadlines, gaps, and inconsistencies that should be independently verified.
12. Legal Memo Structure
This prompt helps lawyers turn research and facts into a professional internal legal memorandum.
Prompt:
Create a professional legal memorandum based on the facts and authorities I provide. Structure the memo with a concise issue statement, short answer, relevant facts, governing law, detailed analysis, counterarguments, practical considerations, and conclusion. Apply each legal rule carefully to the specific facts and distinguish controlling authority from persuasive authority where that information is available. Do not invent citations, holdings, quotations, or procedural history. Clearly identify assumptions, unresolved factual questions, and areas where additional legal research or attorney judgment is required.
13. Case Strength Assessment
This prompt evaluates arguments and vulnerabilities from multiple perspectives instead of producing a one-sided assessment.
Prompt:
Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the legal position described in the materials I provide. Analyze the strongest arguments for each side, supporting facts, unfavorable facts, available evidence, potential defenses, procedural vulnerabilities, legal uncertainties, and possible counterarguments. Distinguish between issues supported by strong evidence and issues dependent on disputed facts or unverified law. Do not predict an outcome with false certainty. Conclude with a prioritized list of questions and evidence that could materially change the assessment and should be investigated by the responsible attorney.
14. Litigation Risk Analysis
This prompt helps identify practical risks that may arise during litigation beyond the basic legal merits of a claim.
Prompt:
Conduct a structured litigation-risk analysis based on the case information I provide. Evaluate potential claims and defenses, evidentiary weaknesses, procedural risks, jurisdictional concerns, credibility issues, damages uncertainty, cost considerations, timing, settlement pressure, reputational concerns, and possible outcomes. Separate legal risks from business or strategic risks and explain the facts supporting each assessment. Do not assign arbitrary probabilities unless sufficient evidence exists to justify them. Clearly identify assumptions and explain which additional facts or legal research could materially change the risk assessment.
15. Legal Argument Development
This prompt helps organize a persuasive legal argument while ensuring that opposing positions are considered.
Prompt:
Develop a structured legal argument based on the facts and authorities I provide. Begin with the central legal proposition, identify the governing rules, connect each rule to the relevant facts, explain the strongest supporting evidence, and anticipate the most credible counterarguments. Strengthen the reasoning by addressing weaknesses rather than ignoring them. Distinguish factual assertions from legal conclusions and avoid unsupported claims. Do not fabricate case law, statutes, quotations, or citations. Present the argument in a professional format suitable for further attorney review and jurisdiction-specific refinement.
16. Counterargument Generator
This prompt stress-tests a legal position by deliberately examining how an opposing lawyer might attack it.
Prompt:
Act as opposing counsel and critically challenge the legal position I provide. Identify the strongest reasonable counterarguments based on the known facts, applicable legal principles, evidentiary weaknesses, procedural issues, ambiguous language, credibility concerns, and alternative interpretations. For each counterargument, explain what evidence or authority could support it and how the original position might respond. Do not invent facts or legal authorities. The purpose is to stress-test the argument before filing, negotiation, or further legal research, not to determine the final legal outcome.
17. Settlement Strategy Analysis
This prompt helps organize the factors lawyers may consider before entering settlement discussions.
Prompt:
Analyze the settlement considerations for the legal dispute I describe. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each side, disputed facts, evidence quality, litigation risks, potential remedies, financial exposure, legal costs, time considerations, business relationships, confidentiality concerns, and non-monetary interests.

Do not recommend a specific settlement amount unless sufficient factual and financial information is provided. Clearly separate objective analysis from assumptions and identify matters that require attorney judgment.
18. Legal Client Email Draft
This prompt helps transform complex legal information into a clear and professional client communication.
Prompt:
Draft a clear and professional email to a legal client based on the information I provide. Explain the current situation, relevant developments, important deadlines, requested documents or actions, potential next steps, and any decisions the client needs to make. Use plain language wherever possible and avoid unnecessary legal jargon. Do not create facts, deadlines, legal conclusions, or promises that are not supported by the supplied information. Maintain an appropriate professional tone and clearly distinguish confirmed information from matters that remain under review.
19. Plain-English Legal Explanation
This prompt is useful when a lawyer needs to explain a complicated legal concept to a client without losing important qualifications.
Prompt:
Explain the legal concept or document I provide in clear plain English for a client who has no legal background. Start with a concise explanation of what it means, then explain how it may affect the client’s situation, what obligations or risks may exist, and what questions the client should discuss with their lawyer. Preserve important legal qualifications and do not oversimplify the point to the extent that the explanation becomes misleading. Do not provide a definitive legal conclusion without sufficient jurisdiction-specific information, and clearly identify anything that requires professional legal review.
20. Case File Organization
This prompt creates a logical structure for managing large legal matters with many documents and participants.
Prompt:
Design a comprehensive case-file organization system for the legal matter I describe. Create categories for pleadings, correspondence, contracts, financial records, evidence, discovery materials, witness information, research, court documents, deadlines, notes, and privileged or confidential materials where appropriate. Recommend consistent naming conventions, chronology rules, document metadata, version control, and a master index. Keep the system practical for a legal team and emphasize confidentiality, access control, and careful handling of privileged information. Do not recommend storing sensitive case materials in insecure or unauthorized systems.
21. Legal Research Question Generator
This prompt converts a broad legal problem into focused research questions that can be investigated systematically.
Prompt:
Convert the legal problem I provide into a prioritized list of specific legal research questions. Break the problem into questions concerning applicable law, jurisdiction, elements of potential claims, defenses, procedural requirements, evidentiary standards, remedies, deadlines, and relevant exceptions. For each question, explain why it matters and what facts must be confirmed before answering it. Suggest precise legal search terms and categories of primary authority to investigate. Do not provide fabricated answers or citations; the goal is to create a rigorous research roadmap for subsequent attorney-led verification.
22. Damages Analysis Framework
This prompt helps organize the different categories of damages that may be relevant to a legal dispute.
Prompt:
Create a structured damages-analysis framework for the legal matter I provide. Identify potentially relevant categories of damages based on the facts, including direct losses, consequential losses, contractual damages, property damage, lost income, business losses, or other jurisdiction-specific categories where appropriate. For each category, identify the factual basis, supporting documents, calculation method, causation questions, mitigation issues, and uncertainties. Do not assume that a category is legally recoverable without verifying the applicable jurisdiction and legal authority. Clearly distinguish documented losses from estimates and disputed claims.
23. Legal Deadline Tracker
This prompt helps identify important dates and create a structured deadline list from case materials.
Prompt:
Review the legal matter and documents I provide and create a comprehensive deadline and date tracker. Identify court deadlines, contractual deadlines, notice periods, response dates, limitation or prescription periods where relevant, hearings, filing dates, renewal dates, payment dates, and other potentially significant dates. For each deadline, provide its source, triggering event, applicable rule or document, required action, responsible party, and uncertainty level. Never invent a deadline or assume a limitation period without verified jurisdiction-specific authority. Flag dates that require immediate confirmation by the responsible attorney or court.
24. Legal Document Comparison
This prompt compares two versions of a legal document and highlights meaningful differences.
Prompt:
Compare the two legal documents I provide line by line and identify all meaningful differences. Categorize changes as additions, deletions, wording changes, changed obligations, altered deadlines, revised financial terms, modified rights, new risks, removed protections, or purely stylistic edits. Explain the practical significance of each substantive change in clear legal language. Pay particular attention to definitions, liability, indemnity, termination, confidentiality, dispute resolution, governing law, payment obligations, and representations. Do not assume that a change is legally favorable or unfavorable without explaining the relevant context and flagging issues for attorney review.

Prompt:
Act as a senior legal strategy brainstorming assistant and analyze the matter I provide from multiple possible strategic perspectives. Identify potential procedural approaches, negotiation options, litigation strategies, evidence-development opportunities, settlement considerations, communication strategies, and practical alternatives. For every strategy, explain its potential advantages, disadvantages, prerequisites, risks, and unanswered questions. Include the strongest argument against each proposed approach so the analysis does not become one-sided. Do not present the brainstorming as definitive legal advice, and do not invent facts, authorities, deadlines, or procedural requirements.
26. Legal Complaint Drafting
A well-structured complaint should present the relevant facts, legal claims, and requested relief in a logical order. This prompt helps organize the initial draft while leaving jurisdiction-specific requirements for attorney review.
Prompt:

Clearly mark missing information with placeholders and identify each section that requires verification against the rules of the relevant court before filing.
27. Answer and Defense Preparation
This prompt helps organize responses to allegations while identifying admissions, denials, defenses, and unresolved factual questions.
Prompt:
Analyze the complaint or allegations I provide and create a structured framework for preparing an answer and potential defenses. Break every material allegation into categories such as admitted, denied, partially supported, disputed, or requiring additional investigation. Identify possible affirmative defenses and explain what facts would be necessary to support each one.

Identify the factual purpose of each major question or category and flag questions that may require modification because of privilege, proportionality, confidentiality, jurisdiction-specific rules, or procedural limitations.
29. Interrogatory Drafting
This prompt helps lawyers prepare targeted written interrogatories based on the factual and legal issues in a case.
Prompt:
Draft a structured set of proposed interrogatories based on the legal matter and factual issues I provide. Focus on identifying parties, witnesses, relevant events, communications, agreements, financial information, factual bases for claims and defenses, damages, and other information directly connected to disputed issues. Make each interrogatory specific, logically organized, and designed to obtain useful factual information rather than unnecessarily repetitive responses. Do not assume the applicable numerical limits, definitions, objections, or procedural requirements; identify those items for verification under the relevant jurisdiction and court rules before use.
30. Document Request Strategy
This prompt helps identify which categories of documents may be important to obtain during a legal dispute.
Prompt:
Develop a targeted document-request strategy for the legal matter I provide. Identify the categories of documents most likely to prove or disprove the disputed facts, including contracts, emails, messages, financial records, invoices, internal communications, photographs, reports, policies, technical records, and other relevant materials.

Avoid speculative or unnecessarily broad requests and flag potential privilege, privacy, confidentiality, proportionality, or jurisdiction-specific limitations that should be reviewed before the requests are served.
31. Witness Interview Preparation
This prompt helps lawyers prepare organized and neutral questions for interviewing witnesses.
Prompt:
Create a detailed witness interview plan based on the case information I provide. Organize questions around the witness’s identity and relationship to the matter, personal knowledge, chronology of events, communications, documents, other witnesses, disputed facts, damages, and inconsistencies. Begin with open-ended questions before moving toward specific factual details. Identify important follow-up questions that could test the accuracy and completeness of the witness’s account.

This prompt helps organize the verification of legal authorities before they are relied upon in a document.
Prompt:
Review the legal citations, statutes, regulations, court decisions, and other authorities I provide and create a verification checklist for each source. Identify the authority type, jurisdiction, court or issuing body, date, legal proposition it is being used to support, and whether the citation appears complete based only on the information available. Flag authorities that may be outdated, incomplete, from the wrong jurisdiction, or being used for a proposition broader than the source appears to support. Do not fabricate missing citation details or claim that a case supports a proposition unless the underlying authority has been independently verified.
33. Legal Brief Outline
This prompt creates a persuasive structure for a legal brief before detailed drafting begins.
Prompt:
Create a detailed outline for a legal brief based on the facts, legal issues, and authorities I provide. Organize the argument into a logical sequence beginning with the strongest central proposition and progressing through the governing law, factual application, supporting authorities, counterarguments, and requested relief. For every major section, identify the facts and authorities that should support it and explain any weaknesses that need to be addressed. Do not invent citations, quotations, procedural history, or legal standards. Design the outline so that a lawyer can verify each proposition before converting it into final filing language.
34. Appellate Argument Analysis
This prompt helps identify the strongest appellate issues and weaknesses in a lower-court decision.
Prompt:
Analyze the case materials I provide from an appellate-law perspective. Identify potential issues for appeal, standards of review that may be relevant, preserved versus potentially unpreserved arguments, material factual findings, alleged legal errors, procedural issues, harmful versus harmless errors, and possible counterarguments. Explain what portions of the record would be necessary to support each issue. Do not assume an issue is appealable or preserved without reviewing the applicable jurisdiction-specific rules and record. Clearly separate potentially strong appellate arguments from speculative issues requiring further research.
35. Legal Risk Matrix
This prompt turns a complex matter into a prioritized overview of legal and practical risks.
Prompt:
Create a detailed legal risk matrix for the matter I describe. Identify each significant risk, its underlying facts, possible legal consequences, potential financial or operational impact, likelihood based only on available information, severity, current mitigation measures, and additional information needed to assess it.

Prompt:
Analyze the data-processing scenario I provide for potential privacy and data-protection issues. Identify what categories of personal information are involved, how information is collected, the stated purpose, storage practices, access, sharing, retention, security, user rights, international transfers, vendors, and relevant agreements or notices.
