AI Prompt: Organize Cases Into Research Memo Outline
Turn your verified case list into a memo outline grouped by sub-issue, ordered persuasively — the AI works only with cases you provide.
The Prompt
Variables (2)
| Variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| {{legal_issue}} | Legal Issue | scope of fiduciary duty owed by LLC managers to minority members |
| {{case_list}} | Case List With Citations and Holdings | Salm v. Feldstein, 20 A.D.3d 469 (2005) — manager owes fiduciary duty when negotiating buyout of co-member's interest... |
Expected Output
A memo outline grouping your supplied cases by sub-issue, marking supporting vs. adverse authority, with a recommended order of presentation.
Usage Notes
Verify your case summaries before pasting — the AI relies on them. The 'do not add any' guardrail is essential; re-check the output for any case the model may have invented.
