Gemini Prompt: Motion to Compel Outline Built on Your Requests and Responses
Outlines a motion to compel from the discovery requests, the responses and objections, and the meet-and-confer letters you paste. Legal standards appear only as the rule text you paste, and nothing is stated about the meet-and-confer that the correspondence does not show.
The Prompt
Variables (7)
| Variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| {{case_caption}} | Case Caption and Court | Smith v. Acme Corp., No. 2:25-cv-04812, U.S. District Court, Central District of California |
| {{moving_party}} | Moving Party | Plaintiff Jordan Smith |
| {{rule_text}} | Governing Rule Text | Paste verbatim the discovery rules, local rules and standing order you rely on, with citations. |
| {{requests}} | Discovery Requests at Issue | Request for Production No. 4, served Jan. 6, 2026: "All documents concerning the termination of Plaintiff." |
| {{responses}} | Responses and Objections | Response to RFP No. 4, served Feb. 9, 2026: "Objection. Overbroad. Subject to the objection, Defendant will produce responsive documents." |
| {{correspondence}} | Meet-and-Confer Correspondence | Letter from J. Cole to R. Park, Feb. 20, 2026: "Please withdraw the overbreadth objection to RFP 4." Reply, Mar. 2, 2026: "We stand on our response." |
| {{instructions}} | Attorney Instructions and Relief Sought | Seek an order compelling production for RFP 4. Tone: professional. Do not raise the privilege log. |
Expected Output
Part 1 attorney-only notes (record register, conflicts, count and date arithmetic, cleared and held-back lists, weaknesses, unsupported statements declined, declined requests, missing information). Part 2, the motion outline: introduction, background, legal standard as pasted, argument request by request, relief. Then a verification list.
Usage Notes
Use it after a deficient discovery response and a meet-and-confer exchange. Paste the rule text that governs, each request, each response and objection, and the correspondence, with dates. Failure mode to watch: a statement of what the rules require, a case, a fee or sanctions request, or a statement that you conferred in good faith that the correspondence does not show; each should come back as a placeholder line or a declined item. Gemini tends to run long, so trim the outline before use. Read the document part line by line before it leaves the office. Not legal advice. The attorney remains responsible for verifying every fact, figure and authority before use.
Double-check before use
- Check any statement about meet-and-confer efforts against your correspondence, and search the outline for parenthetical notes before filing.
These are the places where this prompt was seen to slip when tested on sample cases with a small AI model.
