Parties, forum, decision date, and citation 4. Relevant human rights instruments or provisions If any material is missing, list required sources before drafting. ## Quick Start 1. Gather primary decision and procedural context. 2. Fill each template section; keep entries concise. 3. Run quality checks. 4. Flag gaps with `[VERIFY]` or `Unknown — source needed`. ## Output Template ```text Case Identification - Case name: - Forum/Court/Tribunal: - Decision date (Month Day, Year): - Citation: - Jurisdiction(s): - Parties and roles: - Procedural posture: - Instruments/provisions at issue: Executive Summary (3–6 sentences) - Outcome: - Core holding: - Key principle clarified or expanded: - Practical consequence: Facts - Chronology of key events: - Alleged violations and affected groups: - Government/actor conduct: Claims and Defenses - Petitioner/applicant claims: - Respondent defenses: - Admissibility/jurisdiction issues: Legal Issues - Issue 1: - Issue 2: - Issue 3: Holdings - Holding per issue: Reasoning - Interpretive method (textual, purposive, proportionality, margin of appreciation): - Precedent or comparative law: - Evidence and burden of proof: - Balancing of competing rights: Separate Opinions - Concurrences: - Dissents: - Key divergence points: Remedies and Orders - Relief ordered: - Compliance deadlines: - Monitoring/enforcement mechanism: Implementation Status - Government response: - Compliance actions: - Follow-on litigation: Precedential Value - Binding scope: - Persuasive influence: - Doctrinal shift or novelty: Social and Policy Impact - Effects on affected communities: - Institutional or legislative changes: - Unintended consequences: Open Questions - Doctrinal gaps: - Unresolved issues: Sources - Primary decision: - Key filings: - Secondary sources: ``` ## Quality Checks Run before finalizing: - All facts tied to a source or marked `Unknown — source needed` - Instruments and provisions cited accurately; use `[VERIFY]` if unsure - Holdings and reasoning not conflated - Remedies distinct from compliance status - Dates in Month Day, Year format ## Pitfalls - **Blurring analysis and advocacy** — maintain neutral tone; separate legal reasoning from policy impact - **Omitting admissibility thresholds** — always address jurisdiction and admissibility explicitly - **Ignoring enforcement limits** — for international/regional forums, specify compliance mechanisms and enforcement constraints - **Missing posture details** — for U.S.-jurisdictional cases, note federal/state posture and standard of review - **Drafting without sources** — if information is missing, request sources before writing the affected section
