Example Prompt

Draft responses to these interrogatories:

CASE CONTEXT:
- We represent Defendant Acme Corp
- Breach of software license dispute
- Standard objection protocol applies

   - Substantive answer
   - Documents to reference
   - Persons to identify (with current known information)

3. RESERVATION
   - Investigation ongoing
   - Supplementation reserved

Format per [State] rules of civil procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Claude generate all standard objections?

Yes. Provide your firm's standard objection language or use general objection standards.

How do I handle ongoing investigation responses?

Include appropriate reservations. Claude will draft responses that preserve supplementation rights.

What about privileged information?

Instruct Claude to flag any response that might implicate privilege for attorney review.
