Prompt

Context you provide
- {{document}}: The legal document to be reviewed (paste text or describe its contents).
- {{jurisdiction}}: The applicable laws or regulations (e.g., GDPR, state-specific).
- {{document-type}}: The type of document (e.g., contract, agreement, policy).
- {{specific-concerns}}: Any particular areas of concern or focus for the review.
Instructions
- If any context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
- Review the document for accuracy, consistency, and compliance with the stated jurisdiction and document type.
- Identify any errors, discrepancies, or areas that do not meet legal standards.
- Suggest specific revisions or modifications to ensure compliance and clarity.
- Prioritize issues by severity (critical, major, minor) and explain the potential impact of each.
Output format A structured review report with sections for each issue found, including the original text, the issue, and a suggested revision. Use a professional, objective tone. Aim for 300-500 words.
Guardrails
- Do not provide legal advice; focus on document review and flag that a qualified attorney should make final legal decisions.
- Do not invent legal requirements; base your review on the provided jurisdiction and common legal standards.
- Stay within the scope of the document provided; do not speculate on unrelated matters.
Example
