What this workflow does
This workflow takes a legal question, scenario, or client situation and produces a structured research brief: the key legal questions to investigate, the relevant areas of law, a plain-English explanation of the landscape for a non-lawyer client, and a structured summary ready to hand to a lawyer or junior for deeper research. It compresses the scoping phase of legal research from hours to minutes — and changes who can do it. A Fast Track option (Prompt 0) combines the brief and client summary into a single run for time-pressured users.
Who it's for
- Legal professionals who want a fast, structured first-pass before deeper research
- Paralegals and junior lawyers building research briefs for senior review
- Founders and operators who need to understand the legal landscape before engaging a lawyer
- Consultants advising clients on situations with legal dimensions they need to understand quickly
