Ask AI to explain a case you provide
Lesson 10 of 12 in AI Legal Research Foundations
The one idea
AI is much safer when you provide the case. Paste the judgment or relevant excerpt and ask for issue, facts, rule, reasoning, outcome, paragraphs, and caveats. Tell it not to rely on memory or add authorities you did not provide.
Then read the relevant paragraphs yourself. A summary is not a substitute for the judgment.
