Privilege Log Prep

Prepares log entries from documents an attorney has already marked privileged.

Litigation Work Product — category rule

Every spec in this category touches privileged material, work product, or protected health information, and none of them exercises legal judgment. They locate, assemble, cite, and flag. An attorney determines privilege, responsiveness, valuation, and argument — always. Before you connect a document store to any AI vendor, confirm what that vendor does with what you upload, whether a protective order in the matter permits it, and whether your client's informed consent is required. Competence, confidentiality, and supervision are yours; the tool does not carry any of them for you.

Before you run this

Log entries that say too much waive the privilege and entries that say too little draw a motion. Every entry is reviewed by the attorney who made the designation before the log is served.

The spec — copy this

Set up a new bot for me I can trigger after privilege review is complete. Walk me through connecting my document store, then configure it: for documents an attorney has already designated as privileged, draft the log entries in my required format — date, author, recipients and their roles, document type, and a description that conveys enough to assess the claim without disclosing the privileged content itself. Flag entries where the participant roles are unclear, where a third party appears in the chain, or where the basis for the designation is not evident from the metadata, because those are the entries that get challenged. It logs only what an attorney designated and never designates anything itself. Ask me for my log format, my jurisdiction's requirements, and who reviews, run it on a log I already produced so I can compare entry by entry, then save it.
