@OrinKerr @WilliamBaude I think turning something that would take a day or two (and be quite boring) into a 10-minute task seems like a big win, especially if you're madly scrambling to hit the law review submissions window...

@btfitzpat I think that's pretty standard with a lot of enterprise contracts, unfortunately. But it's possible you can ask them to upgrade you to a higher tier that does have it.

[Dan Epps @danepps]

Update: improved both sets of skills a little bit, and more importantly made the web instructions a ton clearer and simpler for new users!

Law folks: If you’re not using Claude Code or ChatGPT’s Codex, you have no idea what you’re missing. So I’m distributing my research tools that provide a huge boost to legal scholarship. Research assistance, cite-checking, proofreading, and more (thread):

@BenAdamsO_O Effectively, it gives Claude clearer instructions, and a much more structured workflow in terms of how to delegate chunks of a task to subagents, to produce work product that is useful for legal research.

[Jack Goldsmith @jacklgoldsmith]

highly recommended

@MissPan_Dora I would install it and then just ask Claude how you could customize it, it is capable of modifying skills

@DDi90 @poorlywhoorly I took a look at it a while back, but at the time I did, I had some questions about privacy protections because it seemed like stuff ran through their servers too. I will take another look at some point.

Note also that if you combine these skills with my Zotero style + plugins, they're even more powerful because they can search your library of articles.

Let me just save you all the trouble: the answer to this QP will be “no.”

All this lawyer/attorney discourse yet no one is pointing out the true mark of distinction, whether you’re allowed to call yourself “Esquire”
