Memo structure

3 prompts

Issue spotter from facts

1/15

✨ What it does

Gemini lists issues and elements from [FACT PASTE] and marks fact gaps [VERIFY] without predicting outcomes. Research each issue in your licensed tools, then draft the memo yourself.

Jurisdiction hint: [JURISDICTION]. Facts: [FACT PASTE]. Client goal: [GOAL]. List legal issues to research, elements per issue, and fact gaps as [VERIFY]. Do not give legal advice or predict outcomes.

💡

Pro tip: Say not legal advice in the prompt if juniors will reuse it. Gemini should mirror that boundary.

IRAC shell with cites

2/15

✨ What it does

Gemini drafts IRAC from [RULE PASTE] and [FACTS], tagging unsupported rules [VERIFY]. Shepardize every rule before filing, and delete any [VERIFY] paragraph.

Issue: [ISSUE]. Rules from sources: [RULE PASTE]. Facts: [FACTS]. Draft IRAC sections using only [RULE PASTE] for rules. Tag unsupported rules [VERIFY]. No new cases.

💡

Pro tip: If the rule paste is a summary, label it.summary in your paste. Gemini treats summaries as summaries.

Client-facing explainer draft

3/15

✨ What it does

Gemini drafts a plain-language explainer from [PASTE] for [CLIENT TYPE] and tags uncertain steps [VERIFY]. Partner review required before anything goes to the client.

Audience: [CLIENT TYPE]. Matter: [MATTER]. Sources: [PASTE]. Plain-language explainer: what happened, what we are doing, what client decides, timeline. Tag uncertain steps [VERIFY]. Not advice.

💡

Pro tip: Never send client explainers without partner eyes. This is a shell only.

Research organization

3 prompts

Case table from excerpts

4/15

✨ What it does

Gemini tables cases from [EXCERPT PASTE] with pins or [VERIFY] on missing cites. Verify every pin in the original reporter before you cite it in a brief.

Research question: [QUESTION]. Excerpts: [EXCERPT PASTE]. Table: case name, holding, relevance, quote with pin cite if present or [VERIFY]. Do not add cases not in excerpts.

💡

Pro tip: If an excerpt lacks a page number, [VERIFY] is correct. Do not guess pins.

Statute outline

5/15

✨ What it does

Gemini outlines [STATUTE PASTE] with defined terms and tags ambiguous definitions [VERIFY]. Read the statute yourself, then compare the outline line by line.

Statute text: [STATUTE PASTE]. Outline: defined terms, operative sections, exceptions, deadlines mentioned in text. Tag ambiguous definitions [VERIFY]. No external commentary.

💡

Pro tip: Paste the version date in the header. Gemini cannot know if the paste is current.

Research memo to-file list

6/15

✨ What it does

Gemini writes a research to-file outline from [NOTES] and tags unverified sources [VERIFY]. File it in the matter folder the same day you run the searches.

Matter: [MATTER]. Notes: [NOTES]. Write a to-file research memo outline: questions asked, sources checked listed in notes, dead ends, next searches. Tag unverified sources [VERIFY].

💡

Pro tip: Dead ends belong in the memo. They save the next associate time.

Contracts and discovery

3 prompts

Clause comparison table

7/15

✨ What it does

Gemini compares clause pastes A and B and flags risks for attorney review, tagging missing definitions [VERIFY]. Resolve definitions with the full contract, not the excerpt alone.

Contracts: [CLAUSE PASTES FROM A AND B]. Build a comparison table: topic, language A, language B, difference summary, risk flag for attorney review. Tag missing definitions [VERIFY].

💡

Pro tip: Paste entire sections when possible. Partial clauses hide cross-references.

Discovery chronology

8/15

✨ What it does

Gemini builds a chronology from [DOC SUMMARIES] and tags undated events [VERIFY]. Confirm dates against originals before you attach the chronology to a brief.

Documents: [DOC SUMMARIES]. Build a chronology: date, event, source doc label, disputed flag if noted in paste. Tag undated events [VERIFY]. No invented testimony.

💡

Pro tip: Label each row with the doc name you pasted. Gemini will not invent Bates numbers.

Deposition summary shell

9/15

✨ What it does

Gemini summarizes [PASTE] for [NAME] with inconsistencies flagged against [PRIOR NOTES] or [VERIFY]. Attorney reviews before trial prep uses the summary.

Depo excerpt: [PASTE]. Witness: [NAME]. Summary sections: background, admissions, inconsistencies with [PRIOR NOTES] or [VERIFY], follow-up questions. No new facts.

💡

Pro tip: Inconsistencies need the prior note pasted. Without it, Gemini writes [VERIFY].

Drafting support

3 prompts

Motion section outline

10/15

✨ What it does

Gemini outlines motion sections from [FACTS] and [AUTHORITIES], tagging weak support [VERIFY]. Draft prose yourself, and drop sections that still show [VERIFY] after research.

Motion type: [TYPE]. Facts: [FACTS]. Authorities pasted: [AUTHORITIES]. Outline argument sections with proposed headings and which authority supports each. Tag weak support [VERIFY].

💡

Pro tip: Authorities must be in the paste. Gemini will not Shepardize for you.

Defined terms consistency pass

11/15

✨ What it does

Gemini lists defined terms and conflicts in [CONTRACT], tagging missing definitions [VERIFY]. Fix terms in the agreement, not only in the list.

Agreement paste: [CONTRACT]. List defined terms, each usage that conflicts with the definition, and suggested uniform term from the paste only. Tag if definition missing [VERIFY].

💡

Pro tip: Long contracts may exceed context. Paste definitions and operative sections first.

Email to client draft shell

12/15

✨ What it does

Gemini drafts a client update shell from [FACTS] with deadlines from [DEADLINES] or [VERIFY]. Partner edits every line before send.

Matter: [MATTER]. Update facts: [FACTS]. Draft client update email: status, action needed from client, deadline from [DEADLINES] or [VERIFY]. Not legal advice. Professional tone.

💡

Pro tip: Action needed must be specific. Vague please review becomes [VERIFY] without a doc name.

Quality and ethics

3 prompts

Citation check list

13/15

✨ What it does

Gemini lists unsupported factual sentences in [DRAFT] against [SOURCE LIST] as [VERIFY]. Add pins or delete those sentences before filing.

Draft excerpt: [DRAFT]. Sources available: [SOURCE LIST]. List each factual sentence that lacks a matching source and mark [VERIFY]. Do not add sources not listed.

💡

Pro tip: Run this on the near-final draft. Early drafts will be mostly [VERIFY], and that is fine.

Privilege screen note

14/15

✨ What it does

Gemini drafts privilege log rows from [NOTES] using [BASIS LIST] or [VERIFY]. Attorney confirms privilege calls before production.

Notes: [NOTES]. Draft a privilege log row template: date, author, recipients, description, privilege basis from [BASIS LIST] or [VERIFY]. No invented recipients.

💡

Pro tip: Recipients must come from the paste. Gemini will not infer email headers.

Conflicts check questionnaire

15/15

✨ What it does

Gemini drafts conflicts intake questions from [MATTER FACTS] and tags missing party names [VERIFY]. Clerk runs the formal conflicts search, not Gemini.

New matter: [MATTER FACTS]. Parties: [PARTIES]. Draft conflicts intake questions for the conflicts clerk based on facts only. Tag missing party names [VERIFY].

💡

Pro tip: Include related entities you already know. Unknown affiliates become [VERIFY].
