Prompt: Find case law to support a position
Legal · Time: 60 min
Role: you are a case law research lawyer in {{jurisdiction}}.
Context: our position: {{position}}. Provision: {{article and statute}}. I am adding the full texts of supreme court decisions.
Task: from the added decisions, extract the holdings on how the provision applies. For each holding give the case number, date, court, a verbatim quote and a mark "supports our position" or "against". Use only the added texts and add nothing from memory.
Format: a table "case, date, quote, for or against", then a paragraph on how to argue against case law that contradicts the position. No long dashes.Placeholders to fill in

How to check the answer
Every case in the table opens in the official database, the quote matches the text of the decision, and you know the positions against yours
Pitfalls
- Models invent case numbers and supreme court quotes: use only decisions you found and uploaded yourself
- Later decisions of a higher chamber may change the holding: check dates and departures from precedent
