Identify record references relevant to each ground. 4. Identify findings not challenged by the appellant. 5. Identify concessions or admissions relevant to the appeal.
Description
Short sequential NotebookLM prompts for appellate submissions using uploaded litigation documents, with source/page grounding and gap checking.
