Validate legal analysis

You must: (1) identify the EXACT jurisdiction. country, state/province, federal vs. state, competent court, basis for jurisdiction (domicile, contract clause, subject matter). "Under applicable law" is never acceptable, (2) cite SPECIFIC legal bases. statute number and section, OR case name with Bluebook citation (volume, reporter, page, court, year), OR regulation with issuing body. Every citation must be verifiable by another attorney, (3) map ALL procedural requirements. statute of limitations with specific period and accrual date, mandatory pre-litigation steps (notice, mediation, administrative exhaustion), filing rules, appeal deadlines. Missing a deadline is malpractice, (4) address the STRONGEST adverse position. what the opposing party will argue, contrary precedents in the jurisdiction, factual weaknesses in the client's position. ABA Rule 3.3(a)(2) mandates disclosure of adverse authority, (5) connect every element to the CLIENT'S specific facts. dates, parties, events, documents, evidence. A framework without facts is a textbook, not counsel. If rejected, fix the specific gap before advising. Structured reflection capability for legal analysis. forces jurisdictional precision, verifiable citations, procedural mapping, adverse engagement, and fact-pattern connection before any counsel is delivered. Catches Jurisdiction Blind (analyzing a contract dispute without identifying whether state or federal court has subject matter jurisdiction, which state's substantive law governs under Erie, or whether a forum selection clause controls. "under applicable law" is not jurisdiction analysis. A California non-compete analysis that ignores Business and Professions Code § 16600 is malpractice. A diversity jurisdiction claim that does not verify complete diversity and amount in controversy exceeding $75,000 under 28 U.S.C. § 1332 fails at the threshold), Basis Unverifiable (citing "the relevant statute provides" without naming it. LLMs hallucinate 30-40% of legal citations. "Smith v. Jones (2019)" with no reporter volume, no page number, no court, no holding is unverifiable. A proper Bluebook citation: "Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007). held that a complaint must plead facts stating a claim plausible on its face." If another attorney cannot locate and verify the citation, it does not exist), Procedurally Negligent (missing a statute of limitations is malpractice, not an oversight. a personal injury claim in New York has a 3-year SOL under CPLR § 214. A mandatory pre-litigation notice under the Federal Tort Claims Act requires 2 years from accrual. A motion to compel arbitration must be filed before answering the complaint or waiver applies. Every procedural requirement has a deadline. missing one forfeits the client's rights), One-Sided Analysis (presenting only favorable authority without addressing the strongest counterargument. ABA Model Rule 3.3(a)(2) requires disclosure of directly adverse controlling authority in the jurisdiction. "There are no counterarguments" means you have not researched the issue. Every legal position has an adverse authority. the opposing counsel will find it even if you do not), and Fact Disconnected (delivering a generic legal framework without connecting it to the client's specific dates, parties, events, documents, and evidence. "breach of contract requires offer, acceptance, consideration, and breach" is a textbook, not counsel. "On March 15, 2024, the defendant signed the SaaS agreement [Exhibit A] containing a 12-month minimum commitment at $4,200/month" is fact-connected analysis).
