Skill: AI jurisdictional surveys
Category: Research
The
AI Jurisdictional Surveys
skill is designed to give you a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the law across jurisdictions based on your legal research question, using trusted content from Westlaw.Features and benefits
- Creating multi-jurisdictional legal surveys using manual techniques can be tedious and can take many hours, depending on how many jurisdictions you need to survey.
- By retrieving relevant authorities from Westlaw in minutes, this skill lets you expedite the otherwise lengthy process of creating a jurisdictional survey.
Practice tips
- To create a jurisdictional survey, once the skill has been initiated, select theEditbutton to open the menu to select from available jurisdictions. The skill will list the jurisdictions you have selected.
- Ask a clear, concise, and focused question that can be answered by looking at statutes and regulations across jurisdictions.
- Each term in a query should be essential to finding relevant statutes and regulations in the selected jurisdictions. Don’t include information, such as background facts, that are not material to the question.
- Beginner user prompt: When an employee claims they have a disability, and they need an accommodation of a service dog to return to their job in a hospital, does the hospital have to accept the dog and would the dog be able to go with the employee to any part of the hospital including patient care areas?
- Expert user prompt: What are the laws on reasonable accommodations in the workplace relating to a service animal?
- Don’t write a query in the style of a prompt, command, or instruction. Don’t include extra words or phrases like "give me a survey on" or "which states" that bookend your user prompt but are not substantive. Instead, it is better to construct your user prompt with words or phrases you would expect to find in statutes and regulations in your selected jurisdictions.
- Beginner user prompt: You are an experienced attorney who is an expert legal researcher, and you need to find and summarize the laws on the name, image, and likeness for college athletes.
- Expert user prompt: What are the name, image, and likeness laws for college athletes?
- Beginner user prompt: Which states permit online sports betting?
- Expert user prompt: Are online sports betting legal?
- Don’t add jurisdictions or words that indicate jurisdictions to a user prompt. Instead, select the jurisdictions you want to survey and only include substantive information in your user prompt.
- Beginner user prompt: What is the minimum wage in each state?
- Expert user prompt: What is the minimum wage?
- Beginner user prompt: What is the statute of limitations for fraud in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and Delaware?
- Expert user prompt: What is the statute of limitations for fraud?
- Focus on a single issue or question. Where it is easy to distinguish separate issues, ask about those issues in separate questions dedicated to the issues, rather than combining them.
- Beginner user prompt: What businesses are subject to laws on collecting personal data, what are the exclusions, and what privacy protections are they required to provide consumers?
- Expert user prompt: What privacy protections must businesses provide consumers when collecting personal data?
- Avoid including proper names of people, parties, or places. Using proper names can artificially focus the search on results that may only be moderately relevant but contain the same name.
- Beginner user prompt: Is ABC Co liable for being in possession of their competitor Acme Co's trade secrets?
- Expert user prompt: Can corporations that are in possession of a competitor's trade secrets be held liable for misappropriation?
- CoCounsel will provide a tabbed and expandable menu of results, organized by jurisdiction and with links to relevant authorities in Westlaw.
Limitations to keep in mind
- At this time, results in this skill are not available for download.
- The skill requires a Westlaw subscription in addition to a CoCounsel subscription but is available to subscribed users in the CoCounsel user interface.
