Example Prompt
Analyze litigation risk for this breach of contract case: CASE FACTORS: LIABILITY - Clear written contract: Yes - Performance documented: Partially - Breach allegations: Specific and documented - Defenses available: Impossibility, waiver - Governing law: Favorable precedent DAMAGES - Contract value: $500,000 - Claimed damages: $1.2M (including consequential) - Consequential damages excluded by contract: Yes - Mitigation evidence: Disputed PROCEDURAL - Jurisdiction: Federal court, experienced judge - Opposing counsel: Reputable firm - Discovery burden: Moderate - Trial risk: Jury in this jurisdiction favors defendants ANALYSIS REQUESTED: 1. Liability probability (plaintiff prevails) 2. Damages range if liability found 3. Settlement range (reasonable for both sides) 4. Key risk factors for each side 5. Recommended strategy 6. Litigation budget estimate (through trial) Provide analysis with confidence levels and caveats.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are litigation predictions?
Predictions are informed estimates, not guarantees. Claude identifies factors; judgment remains with attorneys.
Can Claude predict jury behavior?
Claude can analyze general patterns. Specific jury prediction is highly uncertain.
Should clients rely on these predictions?
Predictions inform strategy but shouldn't be treated as certainties. Always communicate uncertainty to clients.
