This is a reusable litigation prompt from the Litigation AI Prompt Repository. It is intended for Malaysian civil litigation but can be adapted by changing the placeholders. Use the Universal Litigator Control Block first where source discipline, adversarial review and authority verification matter.

Prompt

Prepare a witness and proof plan for `[PARTY]`.

For each factual issue and legal element, state: burden; fact to prove; proposed witness; basis of personal knowledge; supporting document; admissibility issue; likely cross-examination; corroboration; risk if the witness is not called.

Identify cumulative witnesses, missing witnesses, witnesses under another party’s control, witnesses requiring subpoena and matters better proved through agreed facts or documents. Recommend the order of witnesses and explain any strategic sequencing.

Repository section: Case Management and Trial Preparation

Stage: Pre-trial
