Module 3
Context, sources and constraints: giving the tool what it needs and nothing it should not have
The same question has different answers in different legal systems, at different stages and for different readers. A tool that is not told which one you mean will choose for you. Context is how you take that choice back. This module teaches the second half of a good prompt: what to tell the tool (the jurisdiction, the stage, the facts as labels and the audience), how to hand it the source and tell it to stay with that source, how to keep your instructions apart from the material they act on, and how to set sensible limits. It also applies the confidentiality baseline from Module 1 to the facts you give: the minimum necessary, and no more.
