Litigation Draft Quality Assurance

Structured workflow for litigation draft quality assurance: organise the supplied facts and documents, identify missing information, draft or analyse in stages, and verify facts, authorities and assumptions before use.

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

Perform a senior counsel quality-control review of `[DRAFT]` against `[SOURCE MATERIALS]`.

Check:

- factual accuracy and source support;
- party names, capacities, dates, sums and defined terms;
- consistency with pleadings and prior positions;
- legal propositions and verified authorities;
- jurisdiction, limitation and procedural compliance;
- internal logic and requested relief;
- evidential admissibility and burden;
- omissions, contradictions and overstatement;
- tone, clarity, duplication and formatting;
- confidentiality, privilege and necessary redactions.

Produce a high-priority defect list, paragraph-specific corrections and a clean revised draft. Do not silently alter a substantive position; identify it for counsel’s decision.
