What Needs Urgent Attention in This FileReportStandardLegal Ops / Billing
Read the attached file and tell me what needs urgent attention. Assume I have ten minutes. Return: 1. The three things that matter most, each in one sentence, ordered by how soon they bite. 2. Every date in the document that creates a deadline, an expiry, a notice period or a limitation cut-off — as a table of date, what happens on that date, and who has to act. Flag any that has already passed. 3. Anything that is missing, unsigned, undated, blank or internally inconsistent. 4. Anything that commits my client to money, an indemnity, an exclusivity or an automatic renewal. 5. One line: if I do nothing this week, what is the worst thing that happens. Mandatory rules: lead with the deadlines — a risk with a date beats a risk without one. Do not pad the list to reach three items; if only one thing is urgent, say only one thing is urgent. Give the page or clause reference for every point so I can check it myself.
Translate, Summarise and Give the BackgroundMemoStandardCorporate / Commercial
Translate the attached document into [target language] and summarise it, giving me the complete background. Produce four sections: 1. A faithful translation. Keep legal terms of art in the source language in brackets after the translation the first time each appears — a term of art that is translated loosely stops being the same term. 2. A summary in [number] bullet points: what the document is, who the parties are, what it obliges or decides, and the key dates. 3. Background: what kind of document this is in its own legal system, where it sits in a procedure or a transaction, and what usually comes before and after it. 4. What I should notice: anything unusual, any blank or unsigned element, any internal inconsistency, and any figure or date that does not reconcile with the rest of the document. Mandatory rules: do not smooth over an unclear passage — mark it [unclear in the original] and translate it as literally as you can. Do not add a legal conclusion the document does not contain. If handwriting, a stamp or a signature block is illegible, say which part and do not guess at it.
Brief Me on a Clause in a Stored FileMemoStarterLegal Ops / Billing
Go into the matter file for [client or matter name] and brief me on what [clause or section reference] says. Give me: 1. The exact wording of that clause, quoted, with the document name and date it comes from — so I know which version you read. If there is more than one version of that document in the file, say so and tell me which one you used and why. 2. What it means in plain terms, in three lines. 3. What it obliges my client to do, and by when. 4. How it interacts with any other clause in the same document that qualifies it — a clause read alone is usually read wrongly. 5. Anything in the rest of the file that contradicts it: a side letter, an amendment, an email trail, a later agreement. If you cannot find the file, the document or that clause reference, say exactly which of the three failed rather than answering from a similar document. Do not summarise a clause you have not located.

Document-Set Summary & Contradiction FinderMemoExpertFamily Law
Summarize the document set below for a family-law matter and surface contradictions. Produce: (1) an issue-tagged summary, where each point cites the document and date/page it comes from; (2) a contradiction list — statements that conflict across documents or dates, each with both sources quoted; and (3) the open questions these documents raise. Do not assert anything without a citation back to the record, and label inferences as inferences. Documents: [PASTE OR DESCRIBE]. For attorney review only; summaries are leads, not evidence.
Case Chronology / TimelineReportAdvancedFamily Law
Build a case chronology for a family-law matter from the materials below. Produce a dated table: date, event, source (document name + page/date), and significance to the issues. Sort chronologically, mark any date that is approximate or disputed, and add a short note of the two or three patterns the timeline reveals (e.g., who had the children on key dates, when funds moved). Cite a source for every entry; if an event has no document support, list it separately as 'asserted, unverified.' Materials: [PASTE OR DESCRIBE]. For attorney review only.

Review the deposition transcript(s) below and produce: (1) a chronological timeline of the events the witness describes, citing each entry to a page:line reference; (2) a contradiction list of any statement that conflicts with something else the same witness said, or with another transcript if more than one is provided, quoting both sides with their page:line references; (3) the points where the witness hedged, said 'I don't recall,' or gave a materially different answer on a second attempt. Do not label anything a contradiction unless you can quote both sides. Transcript(s): [PASTE]. For attorney case-prep use only; this is a lead-generation pass, not a certified transcript summary.
