NotebookLM Litigation Prompts: Closing Submissions

Short sequential NotebookLM prompts for closing submissions using uploaded litigation documents, with source/page grounding and gap checking.

Community feedback only. Editorial ordering is based on relevance, review status and currency.

Use only as a supervised litigation preparation aid. Verify every material point against the uploaded sources and current law.

Prompt

Standing instruction: Answer only from the uploaded sources. Identify the document and page/source supporting each material proposition. Do not invent missing facts. Where the documents conflict, identify the conflict. Distinguish fact, allegation, evidence and submission.

Run these prompts sequentially:
1. For each issue to be tried, summarise the evidence supporting each side.
2. Identify the strongest documentary evidence supporting our pleaded case.
3. Identify admissions obtained during trial relevant to each issue.
4. Prepare a submissions outline organised by the issues to be tried.
5. Prepare a factual submissions section using the documentary record and oral evidence.
6. Identify inconsistencies in the opposing party's evidence for use in submissions.
7. Identify pleaded allegations that were not proved at trial.
8. Identify evidence given at trial that was never pleaded.
9. Prepare a concise conclusion tying the evidence to the reliefs sought.

Description

Short sequential NotebookLM prompts for closing submissions using uploaded litigation documents, with source/page grounding and gap checking.

These prompts are intended to be run as a series rather than pasted as one long instruction. They work best after the relevant pleadings, affidavits, exhibits, correspondence, bundles, notes of evidence, judgments or appeal papers have been uploaded into the notebook.
