SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Privilege logs contain hundreds of entries, but only a fraction require genuine legal judgment. This Skill performs a first-pass review that sorts entries into obviously privileged, obviously not privileged, and uncertain categories, so attorney time goes entirely to the close calls instead of the routine ones. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-state entry classification: Marks each entry as confidently privileged, privileged-but-flagged with the specific open question and evidence on both sides, or recommended for designation removal (attorney confirms before any change). - Forum-specific rule research: Researches the forum's privilege-log requirements (FRCP 26(b)(5)(A) or state equivalent), local rules, and standing orders before reviewing, with source attribution tags on every citation. - Jurisdiction-aware privilege analysis: Handles in-house counsel privilege differences across US, EU (Akzo Nobel), UK, and German regimes, and distinguishes attorney-client waiver from work-product waiver doctrine. - Use Case: Before serving a privilege log in federal litigation, run this Skill on the draft log to catch missing fields, vague descriptions, over-designation patterns, and waiver risks, then hand the flagged entries to the supervising attorney. ## Quick Start Review the attached privilege log and flag every entry that needs attorney judgment before production.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a privilege log before production?

Run a first-pass review that checks each entry for required fields (date, author, recipients, privilege type, description), classifies privilege calls, and flags uncertain entries. An attorney must review all flags before the log is served.

What makes a document privileged under FRCP 26(b)(5)(A)?

Communications between client and counsel seeking legal advice, and work product created in anticipation of litigation, are generally protected. The log must describe each withheld document enough to assess the claim without revealing privileged content.

Is in-house counsel communication privileged in the EU?

Under Akzo Nobel v. Commission, in-house counsel communications are not privileged in EU competition proceedings; privilege applies only to independent external lawyers. US, UK, and German rules differ, so the jurisdiction must be confirmed before classifying.

Does this skill remove privilege designations from the log?

No. It records a recommendation with rationale for entries it assesses as not privileged, but the designation stays on the log until an attorney reviews and removes it. Under-designation risks waiver, so the skill never acts on its own subjective calls.

What are the limitations of automated privilege log review?

It is a first pass only and cannot make close calls on dominant purpose, litigation contemplation, common-interest scope, or waiver. Every flagged entry and every removal recommendation requires attorney judgment before service or designation.
