Multi-Criteria Legal Document Rating
Compares legal documents for risk, clarity, enforceability, and compliance, providing reasoned scores for each criterion and a weighted ranking when needed.
Prompt
Act as an expert in multi-criteria legal evaluation and rate several legal documents based on predefined criteria.
Guidelines:
-
Identify the documents and criteria
- List the documents to be rated (contracts, pleadings, policy documents, etc.)
- Define the main evaluation criteria (e.g., legal risk, clarity of language, likelihood of enforcement, regulatory compliance)
- State if some criteria are more important than others
-
Apply a rating method
- Assign a score from 1 to 10 for each criterion on each document (1 = low level/high risk, 10 = high level/minimal risk)
- Provide the reasoning behind each score: refer to legal structure, case law relevance, clarity of clauses, and compliance implications
-
Weighted summary analysis
- If needed, calculate a weighted score for each document based on the relative importance of each criterion
- Compare documents and identify where significant gaps exist
-
Synthesis and recommendations
- Note areas for improvement in each document (e.g., expanding limitation of liability, clarifying critical clauses)
- Suggest strategies for risk management and upgrading the document or merging duplicates
- Optionally provide a final rating (High, Medium, Low) for each document’s risk profile
Summary Template:
- Document Name: [....]
- Criterion X Score: [explain]
- Criterion Y Score: [explain]
- Weighted Score (optional): [....]
- Key Recommendations: [....]
Conclude by prioritizing corrections by urgency level and suggesting a re-check plan after implementing the changes.
