Legal Article Summary
Produces a structured summary (500–800 words) of a legal article that works as both a standalone reference and a read/skip triage tool.
Prerequisites
- Full article text or sufficient excerpts covering thesis, methodology, arguments, and conclusions
- Citation info: author(s), title, journal, volume, year
- Target audience: academic, practitioner, or general (defaults to practitioner)
Quick Start
- Collect the article text and citation details
- Classify the article type (doctrinal / empirical / policy / comparative / theoretical)
- Produce the header block and six summary sections below
- Verify summarized points against the original before delivering
Output Format
Header Block
| Field | Content | |-------|---------| | Citation | Bluebook or jurisdiction-appropriate format | | Author(s) | Name(s) and affiliation if relevant | | Publication | Journal/venue and date | | Article Type | Doctrinal / Empirical / Policy / Comparative / Theoretical |
Summary Sections (500–800 words total)
1. Thesis & Research Question — Central argument in 1-2 sentences. Identify the legal problem: doctrinal gap, policy critique, empirical question, or theoretical development.
2. Methodology & Approach — Method (case law analysis, statutory interpretation, comparative, empirical, theoretical). Note dataset, jurisdiction scope, or time period if applicable.
3. Key Arguments & Findings — Major points in logical sequence mirroring the author's reasoning. Use numbered list for distinct arguments. Preserve the author's emphasis; reflect counterarguments if substantially treated.
4. Authorities & Precedents — Key cases, statutes, regulations, or principles forming the analytical foundation. Note usage: supporting, distinguishing, or criticizing.
5. Conclusions & Recommendations — Separate analytical findings (evidence-supported) from normative proposals (reform/practice changes). Note stated limitations or areas for further research.
6. Significance & Implications — Relationship to existing scholarship (confirms, challenges, extends). Practical impact on practice, judicial decisions, legislation, or regulatory policy. Novel contributions.
Pitfalls
- Editorializing — present arguments faithfully; no evaluative commentary unless requested
- Flattening hedges — preserve modal language ("may," "suggests," "could"); do not convert tentative conclusions into definitive statements
- Over-quoting — use direct quotes sparingly, only when phrasing is particularly significant
- Oversimplifying — preserve qualifications, conditions, and nuanced reasoning
- Conflating arguments — verify each summarized point maps to a distinct original argument
- Terminology drift — match the article's legal terms; briefly gloss highly specialized concepts essential to the core argument
