SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It drafts the first version of a brief section that stays consistent with the case theory, written in house style, and built from verifiable record support so the work is reviewable rather than guess-based.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Section drafting from a case-theory “source of truth”: turns your prompt into a structured draft tied to the configured litigation house style and case theory.
  • Record-fidelity discipline: flags places where facts or quotations require verification, and enforces citation accuracy concepts like misgrounded citations.
  • Usage fit: best for statement of facts, standard of review, argument sections on an issue, or other “draft the section” requests where you want an initial draft with placeholders for verification rather than confident fabrication.

Example: You provide the chronology and key record excerpts for an issue, and ask for “argument II for [issue]”; the skill produces a theory-aligned argument draft in house format and marks record and authority items that must be checked before filing.

Quick Start

Use the brief-section-drafter to draft the statement of facts for your matter using your provided chronology, key documents, and record citations.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a litigation brief section that stays consistent with my case theory?

To draft a theory-consistent brief section, load your shared case theory and house style from a configured litigation CLAUDE.md file, then prompt the drafter to generate structured arguments tied to that source of truth.

Can I automate citation verification when drafting legal arguments?

Yes, automated citation verification is enforced during drafting by flagging unverified facts with VERIFY, UNCERTAIN, and CITE NEEDED markers, ensuring citations are checked for accuracy rather than fabricated.

How do I draft a statement of facts using my case chronology and record citations?

Drafting a statement of facts requires providing your case chronology, key documents, and record citations as input, which the system transforms into a theory-aligned draft annotated with verification placeholders.

Does this legal drafting tool support England and Wales witness statements under PD 57AC?

Yes, jurisdiction-specific constraints for England and Wales are supported, including handling witness statements under PD 57AC to ensure compliance with local litigation drafting requirements.

What is the best way to ensure record fidelity in a written legal submission?

The best way to ensure record fidelity is enforcing a verification discipline that flags misgrounded citations and marks record items needing checks before filing, preventing confident fabrication.

What limitations exist when using an automated brief section drafter for litigation?

A key limitation is that the output is a reviewable first draft, not a filing-ready document; it requires an unbypassable conflicts gate and manual resolution of all VERIFY and CITE NEEDED markers before final submission.
