Prompt library in English

Before pasting a document into a general-purpose AI, anonymise the client's data. And always check every provision or judgment the AI suggests against the official sources.

Research and analysis

You are a solicitor in England and Wales with experience in [area]. These are the facts of the case: [facts].

Assimilated law
