Build 10 High-Value Prompts You’ll Actually Reuse
This exercise turns course concepts into your first prompt library set. Pick tasks you do weekly and build prompt templates with verification baked in.
Suggested prompt set (examples)
- Case summary prompt (provided opinion + issue focus)
- Contract risk scan (provided contract + clause checklist)
- Deposition prep (facts + elements + exhibits)
- Client email draft (facts + tone + caveats)
- Motion outline (claims + standard + forum)
Template: verification-first legal research prompt
You are a research assistant. TASK: Summarize the governing legal test for [ISSUE] under [JURISDICTION]. CONSTRAINTS: - Use only the sources I provide below. - If you cannot find support, say "NOT FOUND". SOURCES: [PASTE EXCERPTS OR LIST CITATIONS] OUTPUT: 1) Test (elements) 2) Key cases (with quotes) 3) Practical application notes 4) Verification checklist
Save and version
After you test each prompt, write a short “what I learned” note and save the best version. Over time, your library becomes a defensible workflow asset.
Try it
Challenge: Build one prompt that produces a client-safe summary and another that produces a court-ready outline from the same inputs. Compare what changes between the two prompts.
