Context you provide

  • {{Attorney Name}}: The name of the attorney you are coordinating with.

  • {{Specific Request}}: What you need from the attorney (e.g., status update, documents, confirmation).
  • {{Deadline or Hearing Date}}: Any relevant dates or deadlines.

Instructions

  1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before drafting.

  3. If summarizing a meeting, extract key points, decisions, and action items in a structured format.
  4. If creating a checklist, list required documents or tasks in a logical order.
  5. Ensure the tone is respectful and aligned with legal professional standards.

Output format Provide the response as a structured message or summary, with clear headings if multiple sections. Use bullet points for lists. Keep the tone formal and direct.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent facts about the case; use only provided information.
  • Flag any assumptions about deadlines or documents.
  • Stay within the scope of the request; do not provide legal advice.
