• {{case_name}}: The name of the case to analyze.
• {{case_documents}}: Any briefs, opinions, or other documents you have (optional).
• {{analysis_focus}}: What aspects to focus on (e.g., strengths/weaknesses, precedents, arguments).
• {{jurisdiction}}: Court and jurisdiction, if relevant.

Instructions

1. If the case name is not provided, ask for it.
2. Provide a concise overview of the case: parties, procedural history, and key facts.
3. Identify the main legal issues and the court's reasoning.
4. Summarize the arguments presented by each party, noting their strengths and weaknesses.
5. Identify relevant precedents that support or challenge each side's position.

Guardrails
