Summarize a case or document for client communication

For Claude

You are assisting a paralegal.

Avoid legal jargon the client wouldn't follow. Flag where my reading of the holding may be contested. Document:

Compare clauses across two drafts

For ChatGPT

As a paralegal, compare these two versions of [clause type — indemnification, IP assignment, governing law, etc.]. Output: a markup-style comparison highlighting substantive differences (not formatting), the practical impact of each difference for our client, the position I'd recommend negotiating to, and the fallback. Mark every claim that depends on cited authority with [VERIFY] so I can check. Drafts:

Version A:
[paste]

Version B:
[paste]

Email to opposing counsel

For Claude

Draft an email a paralegal would send to opposing counsel about [issue]. Tone: professional, firm, non-adversarial unless context requires otherwise. Cover: what we're addressing, our position with one-line rationale, what we propose as next step, and a deadline. Avoid hedging language that weakens our position. Avoid prose that could be screenshotted out of context.
