GROUNDWORK

Briefing Studio

Build a structured document

Drafts organize your own facts and sources. Nothing here is attorney-reviewed, and no citation is ever filled in for you.

State the precise question in one or two sentences.

Facts only — dates, places, who did what.

Reference evidence log items and how each was obtained.

Cite only authorities you have located. Write 'requires research' otherwise.

Explain how the authority applies.

Address the strongest counter-arguments.

What exactly are you asking for, and by when?

List sources and every communication sent or received.
