Prompt design for legal clause summarization

To create a prompt for legal clause summarization, the goal is to ensure clarity while extracting the essence of legal text. Here’s a refined design for that purpose:


Prompt:

Summarize the following legal clause in clear and concise language while retaining its key points and legal intent. The summary should be easy to understand, avoiding complex legal jargon, but still reflecting the critical obligations, rights, and responsibilities stated in the clause.


Example Input:

“Any party failing to comply with the obligations set forth in this Agreement shall be liable for any damages caused as a result of such failure, including, but not limited to, any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the non-performance. The non-breaching party shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice if the breach remains uncured within thirty (30) days of such notice.”


Example Output:

“A party that fails to meet the terms of this Agreement is responsible for any resulting damages. The other party can terminate the Agreement if the breach is not fixed within 30 days of receiving notice.”


You can adjust the level of detail based on your requirements. For instance, you may ask for:

  1. Concise: For a very brief summary focusing on main points.

  2. Moderate: To include necessary details, such as timelines or specific conditions.

  3. Detailed: To summarize with a bit more legal context while ensuring readability.

Would you like an example of summarizing a specific legal clause or need help fine-tuning this for a different type of legal document?
