This page lists three turns, the messages you send to the AI one after another in the same chat, and then a check of the answer. Keep it open next to your chat. Each turn shows the next thing to paste, with the values you entered already filled in. Nothing is sent from this page, and your conversation stays in the AI tool you are using.
Paste the full opinion. Headnotes and summaries are not the opinion, and a citation alone is not enough to verify a holding.
The precise question you need answered. Narrow beats broad.
The two to four facts that drive the analogy, and the one that cuts against you.
Where this brief goes. Decides whether the opinion is binding, persuasive, or worthless.
The stage governs how much work the case can do for you.
Watch for these throughout
The model invents holdings, pin cites, and quotations that read perfectly. Verify every one against the actual opinion in Westlaw or Lexis before filing.
Subsequent history is invisible here. Shepardize or KeyCite before you rely on anything. An abrogated case cited as good law is worse than no case.
Plurality opinions, concurrences that supply the fifth vote, and separate opinions narrowing the majority all complicate what "the rule" is. Read the whole thing.
Unpublished and out-of-circuit decisions carry different weight in every court, and some forbid citation entirely. Check the local rule before you cite.
Working from a citation or a headnote rather than the full opinion is where fabricated holdings come from. Paste the text.
