Condense a full legal opinion into a professional summary that preserves substance and qualifications. Target 20–30% of original length unless instructed otherwise.
Before summarizing, confirm:
| Section | Content | |---|---| | Issues Presented | Plain-language statement of each legal question; number if multiple | | Factual Background | Material facts only; omit narrative detail | | Legal Analysis | Per issue: controlling standard, key reasoning, decisive facts | | Conclusion / Recommendation | Outcome, recommendation, reliance conditions | | Qualifications / Assumptions | Material limits, open questions, reliance assumptions | | Risk / Alternatives | If addressed: risks, likelihoods, alternatives | | Authorities | Controlling statutes, regs, or cases; short cites only |
For each issue, populate:
| Issue | Standard | Key Facts | Reasoning | Conclusion | |---|---|---|---|---|
[VERIFY].Key changes: consolidated the description into a tighter trigger-focused sentence, removed the verbose template (the Required Sections table + Issue Analysis Table serve the same purpose more concisely), merged the guidelines into a "Pitfalls" section, eliminated the redundant "Compression Checklist" heading in favor of "Compression Rules", and cut ~30% of tokens while preserving all legal substance.
