Translate a statute into words a juror can repeat

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 operative text, plus any definitions section it cross-references.

The forum and whose law supplies the elements; it decides which pattern instruction controls.

Changes the register and how closely the version must track pattern language.

The model or pattern charge for this claim. Supplying it is what keeps the plain version defensible.

Two or three facts already in evidence, so the juror example is about this trial.

Watch for these throughout

  • A plain-English version is argument, not law. The jury is charged from the court's instruction, and a version that departs from it draws an objection and can put a verdict at risk.
  • The model merges elements that sound alike but are legally distinct: knowledge and intent, materiality and reliance, causation and but-for causation. Count the elements yourself against the statute.
  • Terms of art carry defined meanings that plain synonyms destroy. "Willful," "reckless," "reasonable," and "substantial factor" are the court's to define, not yours.
  • Pattern instructions differ by circuit and by state, and some jurisdictions have none for the claim you are trying. Confirm which set governs before relying on any of this.
  • Statutes that cross-reference a definitions section you did not paste will be translated on guesswork. Paste the definitions too.
