Workflow
A practical workflow for solo attorneys.
Start with the legal task and source material
For solo attorneys, define the matter, jurisdiction, documents, facts, and question before using Statutory Research. A narrow prompt and complete source material produce a more useful first pass.
Use Statutory Research for the first structured pass
Statutory Research can help search statutes, codes, and regulations by jurisdiction and legal issue. The goal is to create a working draft, checklist, issue map, or research trail that a legal professional can refine.
Review against primary sources and client facts
Legal AI output should be checked against the actual record, governing law, client instructions, and client facts, local rules, deadlines, and final legal judgment. OpusLaw is a legal workflow tool, not a substitute for legal judgment.
Move the result into the broader matter workflow
Use the result as a launch point for a memo, brief, contract review, client update, negotiation note, or next Practice Hub tool. Keep the final answer tied to source documents and attorney approval.
Review checklist
What to verify before relying on the output.
Confirm the source documents and facts are complete before using Statutory Research.
Check all legal conclusions against current law and controlling authority.
Preserve confidentiality and avoid uploading information that should not be placed in a tool without approval.
Review client facts, local rules, deadlines, and final legal judgment before sending work product to a client, court, counterparty, or business stakeholder.
