Verilexa ↗Think Like a Lawyer
Serious AI tools for lawyers who still want to think like lawyers.
Record-grounded prompts, workflows, and methods built for real criminal-defense work.
The AI must never say more than the underlying record actually establishes — including about its own review.
Eight protocols, applied to every prompt
Every material output line carries exactly one tag.
Every time-bearing claim is typed.
There is no fixed source hierarchy in this book. Reliability is assessed per source-proposition pair using these attributes.
“Missing evidence” is never a single bucket. Every absence is classified.
The model never performs these transformations, and flags them if a source or a prior output performs them.
Analyze a New Criminal Case
Build the foundational record and case map a defense lawyer needs in the first days after intake, before any theory or motion work begins.
Where lawyers start
Corpus Manifest & Coverage Declaration
Use: first run on any new file; re-run (in diff mode) on every supplemental production. Chains to: every other prompt (Coverage Declaration); seeds Prompt 9 (Expectation Ledger, via the referenced-but-absent register) and Prompt 46 (Statement Lineage, via the version candidates).
Initial Case Assessment
Use: first analytical pass after Prompt 0 exists.
Evidence Expectation Ledger (“Should-Exist” Analysis)
Use: after Prompt 0; before discovery motions, preservation letters, or spoliation arguments; re-run after each production. Chains to: Prompts 28–29 (motions); Prompt 4 (a load-bearing State item that should have corroboration and doesn’t is a cross theme); artifacts: Expectation Board, BWC Coverage Matrix.
Witness-Specific Cross-Examination Plan
Statement Lineage and Assertion Evolution Tracker
Use: once all statement sources for a speaker are collected; before Prompt 20 (cross) and any hearing where the affiant testifies; re-run when new statements arrive. Chains to: Prompts 5, 47, 48, 20; Lineage Board artifact.
Error Preservation and Appellate Record Ledger
Use: opened before the first pretrial hearing; maintained live through every hearing and trial day; reviewed each evening of trial. Chains to: every litigation prompt (Prompts 28–29 feed it; Prompts 24, 26, and 37 log to it); Prompt 38 (the ledger is a standing section of the master file).
