NotebookLM Litigation Prompts: “Judge'S View” Prompts

Description

Short sequential NotebookLM prompts for “judge's view” prompts 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.

Standing instruction

> 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.

Prompt series

These can be very useful, provided Notebook is told not to invent a verdict:

1. What factual questions would a trial judge likely need answered to determine each issue?

1. What documents would be most useful for understanding each disputed issue?

1. Identify areas where the evidence is confusing or incomplete.

1. Identify issues where the parties appear to be arguing past each other.

1. Explain the dispute neutrally as if preparing a bench memorandum.

1. Prepare a neutral issue-by-issue summary of each party's position and supporting evidence.

Verification
