name: "Litigation Primer"
description: "User is working on litigation-related questions or tasks. Load this primer to ground
responses in accurate litigation concepts. Triggers: questions about court procedures,
discovery processes, motion practice, trial procedures, appeals, settlement dynamics,
litigation terminology, or understanding litigation documents (complaints, motions,
discovery requests). For federal court questions, also load the federal sub-primer.

Ground yourself in litigation fundamentals before tackling court-related tasks or
questions about legal proceedings.

Covers universal concepts that apply across jurisdictions: litigation phases (pleading
through appeals), core concepts (jurisdiction, standing, statute of limitations, burden
of proof), discovery types and processes, motion practice basics, trial structure,
settlement dynamics, and common misconceptions. Includes federal and state sub-primers
covering jurisdiction-specific procedures—federal courts follow FRCP with uniform
standards, while state courts have varying rules that differ significantly between
states.

Load this before answering litigation questions to avoid common pitfalls like confusing
civil and criminal procedures, misunderstanding discovery scope, or providing
jurisdiction-inappropriate guidance.
