How It Works

A lawyer-first approach to AI

Step 01

Define the task

The lawyer decides what needs to be done, what materials may be used, and what limits apply.

Step 02

Review the output

AI output is treated as draft material, analysis support, or a thinking aid — never as a substitute for professional judgment.

Step 03

Verify before use

Every factual claim, citation, quotation, and strategic recommendation must be checked before it is used in practice.
