What problem does it solve? Legal research answers are only useful if the reader can rely on them. This Skill structures research output so every authority is cited, checked for currency, and weighed against the strongest counter-argument, preventing reliance on overruled cases or one-sided analysis. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Brief Format: Question as asked and understood, short answer, primary authorities before secondary with full citations, reasoning, counter-argument, and open uncertainties. - Mandatory Currency Checks: Every authority is verified as still good law, with appeal, distinguishing, or overruling status and the date checked. - Counter-Argument Section: Always includes the opposing side's best point and an assessment of its strength. - Use Case: A fee earner asks whether a non-compete clause is enforceable in a given state; the Skill produces a brief stating the jurisdiction, citing controlling cases with as-of dates, and presenting the strongest argument against enforceability. ## Quick Start Use the legal research brief skill to answer whether our standard arbitration clause is enforceable in California, with full citations and the counter-argument.
