Preventive procedures
Workflows
Numbered, reusable procedural pages describing human-in-the-loop steps practitioners actually use before, during, and after AI-assisted legal drafting: citation verification, supervising-attorney documentation, client consent, vendor due diligence, and billing disclosure. These are checklists and SOP-style pages, not narrative explainers, and each one links to the specific Risk Digest cases that motivated the step, closing the loop between documented failure and preventive action. Excludes case reporting (Risk Digest) and tool comparison (Evaluations). Serves practitioners who already understand the risk and need an actionable procedure to reduce it.
