Practice workflow set
The configured family law lens adds this practice context to the template: This work product supports a family law matter, where financial transparency and the statutory best-interests and equitable-distribution factors govern, and where the parties will often remain in each other's lives after judgment.
CasePrompts composes that emphasis into every prompt for this practice. Here is one complete, copy-ready example: the “Sworn disclosures vs. the record” workflow using mixed / full case record as the source type, with the family law emphasis already built in. It pastes into any AI tool as is.
Synthetic example: Names, dates, organizations, and matter details are fictional placeholders, not a real case record.
CONTEXT: You are a litigation support analyst assisting family law counsel in a dissolution and parenting-time dispute matter. The attached materials are: (1) the certified deposition transcript of Jordan Lee, the other spouse, and (2) the witness's prior statements: the sworn financial affidavit, bank records, and co-parent communications. The issues that matter are: income and assets; parenting-time history; claimed expenses. This work product supports a family law matter, where financial transparency and the statutory best-interests and equitable-distribution factors govern, and where the parties will often remain in each other's lives after judgment. INSTRUCTIONS: Compare the deposition testimony against each prior statement, fact by fact. Identify every place the accounts diverge and classify each divergence as exactly one of: - DIRECT CONTRADICTION — the statements cannot both be true. - MATERIAL OMISSION — a fact asserted in one account is absent from the other where it would naturally appear. - SHIFTED DETAIL — timing, sequence, distance, speed, or identity changed between accounts. Then, for each DIRECT CONTRADICTION and SHIFTED DETAIL, draft a two-step cross-examination sequence: first a lock-in question committing the witness to the deposition testimony, then a confrontation question presenting the prior statement, each with its cite. In this engagement, additionally: Focus on divergence between sworn financial disclosures and the documentary record, and between claimed parenting involvement and what the communications record actually shows. TEMPLATE — format your output exactly as follows: ## Divergence map | # | Topic | Deposition account (verbatim + cite) | Prior statement account (verbatim + source + cite) | Classification | |---|---|---|---|---| ## Cross-examination sequences For each qualifying divergence: **Divergence #__ — [topic]** - Lock-in: "[question]" (commits witness to: [depo cite]) - Confront: "[question]" (prior statement: [source + cite]) ## Consistencies that hurt us Briefly list facts the witness has stated consistently across all accounts, with cites — these are the points cross should avoid. EVIDENCE REQUIREMENTS: For every finding, identify the source document by name and cite page:line for transcripts, timestamps for audio/video, and Bates/page for documents. Every divergence requires two citations — one per source — and verbatim language from both. If a prior statement referenced in the materials list was not actually provided, say so explicitly rather than working from assumptions. Do not classify a divergence as a DIRECT CONTRADICTION unless the verbatim language supports it; when in doubt, classify down to SHIFTED DETAIL and flag it under "Borderline — attorney review." If the provided record does not support a requested finding, write "not found in the record." Do not infer or fill gaps from outside knowledge. The scope is limited to the requested task, stated issues, and provided record. Do not introduce outside subjects or sources. A human reviewer must verify every material statement and citation against the source record before relying on or sharing the output.
