This is also very useful. These are general prompts. We're going to get more complicated as we go through. This one flips the script. Instead of asking the AI to respond to queries, ask it to ask you questions. As it begins to ask you questions, the output becomes more and more valuable. Here's an example. I'd like you to help in developing defense strategy for a new DUI case. Begin by asking me one question at a time to gather the key facts, procedural history, Please continue asking follow-up questions until you have a complete picture of the case. Once you've gathered enough information, formulate and present a tailored defense strategy based on the information presented. Now, you can see with a prompt like that, you're going to get a way better response. And by the way, you're utilizing Chat GPT in the way that it was designed to be used. You're engaging it. That's why we have the word chat in a conversation. You're asking it to dialogue with you to get to know what you need from it. >> Visit mycle.nacdl.org and get your first on-demand video for free with discount code mycle.

Original Description

Most lawyers use ChatGPT as a question-and-answer tool. Patrick Barone suggests a better approach: make AI ask YOU questions first. Instead of asking for a defense strategy immediately, have ChatGPT gather the facts, ask follow-up questions, and build a complete picture of the case before offering recommendations. The result is more relevant, more strategic, and more valuable output. Watch this quick tip and learn how criminal defense lawyers can use AI as a true case-analysis partner—not just a search engine. 🎥 Get access to the full CLE course at: MyCLE.nacdl.org 🎁 Get your first NACDL on-demand video FREE: Use code: MYCLE #LegalAI #CriminalDefense #ChatGPT #Lawyers #LegalTech #DUIDefense #TrialLawyer #CriminalLaw #CLE #LegalEducation
