Prompt
I need you to help me prepare a legal brief for an upcoming case. Using the attached brief(s) and any cited cases, generate a structured outline showing
1. key arguments and support
2. missing authorities
3. counter-argument opportunities
4. jurisdictional requirements
5. word/page limit compliance needs
BE SURE to cite your sources!
Then, create a strengthening analysis with
1. Additional relevant cases
2. Stronger authority options
3. Suggested structural improvements
4. Citation format fixes
5. Rule compliance issues
Finally, make sure that, throughout this task, you're flagging any issues like unsupported assertions, weak citations, missing elements, procedural issues, counter-authority not being addressed, etc.
Being detail-oriented is most important, but being honest about what you don't know is also important. Don't make ANYTHING up. Be sure to cite EVERYTHING.
