Authority comparison table
From the opinions, statutes and regulations counsel selected, and only those, the researching lawyer gets one side-by-side table: each authority's court, date, stated issue, operative words, posture and separate opinions, quoted with pinpoints, and a list of every quotation to check. The lawyer decides what applies.

Case chronology from the matter documents
From the document set the handling attorney approved, the paralegal or associate prepares a draft chronology for that attorney: each event with its source and Bates number or page, document dates kept apart from event dates, conflicting accounts side by side, and the gaps. What matters is left to the attorney.

Citation and quotation check
Before a draft is filed or relied on, the associate or paralegal has one worksheet: every citation, quotation and record cite counted, then set against the sources supplied, and every good-law check left for the lawyer. No result calls anything confirmed; each says only what was compared.

Closed-file retention review
When closed matter files are ready for records review, the records officer has a draft list for supervising counsel in four groups: files whose period has run under the firm's own schedule, files under a hold, client originals not yet returned, and files that cannot be assessed. Nothing is destroyed or moved.

Conflict search record
Before the responsible attorney decides on a new matter, the conflicts clerk has a draft search record: every name searched with its aliases and related entities, every possible match with its source matter and why it matched, the names still to search, and the limits of the search. It clears nothing.

Consultation fact record
After a first consultation, the intake attorney gets a draft fact record: each statement marked by how the client knows it, each date by how exactly it was given, the outcome the client wants set apart, every document mentioned but not supplied, and questions to choose from. It names no legal issue.

Contract amendment trace
Before a question about a signed contract goes to counsel, the contracts manager has one dated history of the provision that matters: every signed document in order, each version quoted with its document and section, every gap marked, and a list for the lawyer to confirm. It never says which wording controls.

Contract intake brief
When another party's agreement arrives, counsel gets a one-page intake brief: what it is, read from its titles, the parties as named, what is missing, the requester's purpose and date, and the reviewer your own routing rules name. It comments on no term; counsel decides.

Contract issues table for counsel
Before counsel negotiates a vendor or customer agreement, the contracts team hands over one cited issues table: every clause quoted with its section, the playbook position it meets or departs from, the playbook’s fallback wording copied beside each departure, and the approver your matrix names. Counsel decides.

Contract renewal and notice register
From your signed agreements and amendments, the contracts manager gets a register for counsel to confirm: each term, renewal and notice clause quoted with its section, cancel-by and send-by dates proposed only under counsel's own counting rules, and the windows sorted by proposed send-by date. Nothing is sent.

Deposition transcript summary
Before the next deposition, a motion or trial, the attorney has a draft page-line summary of the transcript, arranged by the topics they named: every point cited, every exhibit and objection logged, and every place the testimony differs flagged without a label. The attorney decides what it means.

Discovery requests and commitments register
Through discovery, the litigation paralegal keeps one register for the handling attorney: each request and its response in the exact words served, the Bates ranges produced against it, every supplement promised in correspondence with its date as written, and the promises now overdue. The attorney decides what it means.

Document production index and summaries
From a production review counsel has cleared, the paralegal prepares a draft for that counsel: an index of every document by Bates range, a short summary of each, every statement cited to its Bates page, missing documents and differing passages listed, and anything matching counsel's screen list held by number only.

Filing package check
Before a filing goes to the attorney for signature, the paralegal gets every item on the firm’s own checklist for that court and judge marked pass or open: caption against the docket, length and format, certificates, exhibits, signature blocks and service. The attorney decides and signs.

Hearing preparation pack
Before a set hearing, the arguing attorney has one draft pack: the hearing as the notice states it, the docket history, each order's directives quoted, each witness's prior statements with page cites, exhibit and checklist status as the firm records them, and an open-items list. The attorney decides every argument.

Inbound demand or claim intake record
When a demand, claim or subpoena arrives, the company's lawyer gets one intake record the same day: who sent it, what it asks, every date it states, the facts and citations it relies on, related matters, where the records are, and a question on keeping them. It rates nothing and recommends nothing.

Invention disclosure brief for patent counsel
Before the first call with patent counsel, the founder or engineering lead has one factual brief: the invention in the inventor's words, who contributed what and when, every outside demonstration, sale, talk or publication with its date and audience, and the records still missing. Counsel decides.

Legal hold custodian tracker
Once counsel has issued a legal hold, your legal operations lead keeps one tracker for counsel: every custodian and system in counsel’s scope, who has acknowledged and who is overdue, who has left or changed role, the refresh date counsel set, and reminders copied from counsel’s own text for a person to send.

NDA check against counsel's approved positions
Before anyone signs a proposed NDA, counsel gets every clause quoted with its section and set beside the positions counsel has approved: matching, departing or not covered. Any obligation beyond confidentiality sends the whole NDA to counsel. The check never says an NDA is ready to sign.

Privilege log entry check
Before a draft privilege log goes to review counsel, the paralegal gets an entry-by-entry check against counsel’s approved format and role map, and a list of logged documents’ attachments with no entry. It checks metadata only: review counsel makes every privilege call and writes or approves every description.

Research plan for counsel
Before an associate or paralegal starts on a partner's research question, they hold a one-to-two-page plan: the question split into sub-questions, the stated facts against each, the firm's own notes to read first, where to search and with what terms, and the gaps. Leads, not authorities: nothing is named from memory.

Weekly status requests to outside counsel
Every Monday, in-house counsel has a draft status request for each outside firm that owes one: what has happened since the last update, the dates on record to confirm, decisions pending and spend against budget, plus the matters skipped and why. Counsel edits and sends each one.
