NotebookLM Litigation Prompts: “What Is Missing?” Prompts
Short sequential NotebookLM prompts for “what is missing?” prompts using uploaded litigation documents, with source/page grounding and gap checking.
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. What documents would you expect to exist if the Plaintiff's version is correct but are absent from the uploaded sources? 2. What documents would you expect to exist if the Defendant's version is correct but are absent? 3. What evidence is missing to prove each element of the Plaintiff's case? 4. What evidence is missing to prove each affirmative defence? 5. Which allegations currently depend only on assertion rather than contemporaneous evidence? 6. What factual questions remain unanswered after reviewing all uploaded documents?
Description
Short sequential NotebookLM prompts for “what is missing?” 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.
