2. Identify factual findings challenged by contemporaneous documents.
3. Identify findings arguably unsupported by evidence.
4. Identify issues raised below but not determined.
5. Prepare proposed grounds of appeal in concise form.

7. Separate proposed grounds into errors of law, fact and procedure.

Description

Short sequential NotebookLM prompts for grounds of appeal 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.
