Frequently asked questions
- Why organise by stage?
- Lawyers think in stages of work, so stage-based filters are quicker than tool-based ones.
- How many prompts should a library have?
- Start with ten to fifteen that you actually use.
- Should prompts name a jurisdiction?
- Yes, as a placeholder, and always verify the output for that jurisdiction.
- Can the library include real client facts?
- No. Keep prompts generic and anonymise inputs at use time.
