Three samples

Intake and client communication

01

Intake call summary

After a new-client call, to turn rough notes or a transcript into a file memo.

You are assisting a [PRACTICE AREA] law firm in [STATE]. Below are my notes from an intake call with a prospective client. Write a file memo with these sections: (1) Parties and contact details, (2) Facts in date order, (3) What the caller wants, (4) Deadlines or dates mentioned, including anything that could affect a limitations period, (5) Documents the caller says they have, (6) Open questions we still need answered, (7) Possible conflicts to check (list every person and company named). Use only what is in the notes. If something is unclear or missing, put it under Open questions instead of guessing.

NOTES:
[PASTE NOTES OR TRANSCRIPT]

Verify: Compare names, dates, and phone numbers against your notes. Calculate any limitations deadline yourself.

Litigation drafting

02

Statement of facts from the record

Building the facts section of a brief or motion from documents you attach.

Using only the attached documents, draft a statement of facts for a [MOTION OR BRIEF TYPE]. Write in date order, in neutral language, one fact per sentence where possible. After every sentence, cite the supporting document and page in brackets, like [Smith Dep. 42:3-10] or [Ex. 4 at 2]. If a fact I would probably want is not supported by the attached documents, do not include it. List those gaps at the end under 'Not in the record I was given'.

ATTACHED: [LIST DOCUMENTS]

Verify: Open each cited page and confirm the record says what the sentence says.

Documents and records

03

Medical chronology

Turning a stack of medical records into a usable treatment timeline.

From the attached medical records, build a chronology table with these columns: date of service, provider and facility, complaint or reason for visit, findings and diagnoses, treatment or orders, work or activity restrictions, and source (file name and page). One row per visit. Use the records' own wording for diagnoses. Flag in a final column any entry that mentions a prior injury, a gap in treatment longer than [NUMBER] days, or a statement about how the injury happened. Do not interpret or editorialize.

Verify: Check each flagged entry and a sample of the rest against the record page cited.

Before you use them

  • Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details before sending.
  • Attach or paste the source documents the prompt refers to. Claude drafts well from material you give it and guesses when you give it nothing.
  • Use a plan your firm has approved for client information. If you are not sure which plan that is, remove names and identifying details first.
  • Treat every output as a first draft from a capable junior. An attorney reads it, checks it against the source, and owns it.
  • Never file or send a citation, quotation, date, or dollar figure you have not checked against the original.
