What is a prompt and why is it relevant to law?
Prompts are the inputs or queries that a user (or a program) gives to a large language model "generative" AI in order to elicit a response.
There are already a large number of general and law-specific tools out there. Prompts given in natural language can be a powerful tool to assist lawyers with their work. Please visit our About page and introductory blog post for further reading.
Can I edit or delete prompts I have added?
You can delete prompts you have created by navigating to the prompt and clicking on “Delete Prompt”.
You cannot edit prompts once they have been added. However, we encourage you to add a new one if you spot an improvement!
What makes for an effective prompt?
Please take a look at our prompting tips for advice on how to create an effective legal prompt.
I want to add a prompt to your site but it contains confidential information. What can I do?
We strongly encourage users not to add any information to the site that is confidential or not available in the public domain. We reserve the right to edit or delete prompts that we feel contain confidential data.
There are also risks in prompting AI models with confidential data.
If you do want to add a prompt that contains confidential data, we encourage you to anonymize the data by putting it in square brackets. E.g. [Claimant] v [Defendant].
How do I search for specific prompts?
There are a few ways to search for prompts. You can either use the search bar on the site home page, or navigate to the library view where you can filter by practice area, topic, jurisdiction or platform.
Can I mark prompts as favorites for quick access?
Yes! Simply upvote a prompt you find useful and it will appear on your profile under “Liked Prompts”
The generative AI platform I use isn't listed as an option. What can I do?
If your favorite prompting platform is missing from the site, please let us know!
Alternatively, if your prompt is appropriate for any platform, you can select the “Any” option when creating a prompt.
