Smarter Prompting for AI Contract Review

Electra Japonas
Chief Legal Officer

Learn how to get more from AI in your contract work.
In this session, Electra Japonas, Chief Legal Officer at SimpleDocs // Law Insider, breaks down the science of effective prompting for legal professionals. You’ll learn how to craft prompts that deliver reliable, consistent, and market-aware results — transforming how you draft, redline, and review contracts in Word.

This webinar covers:

  • The five main prompt types used in contract work — decision, rewriting, explaining, comparison, and research
  • The anatomy of a great prompt, including how to define context, task, perspective, format, and tone
  • The ICA Framework (Identify, Check, Act) for turning playbook rules into structured, testable AI instructions
  • Examples of before-and-after AI results, showing how small changes in wording improve accuracy and control
  • Prompting best practices that mimic how you’d guide a junior lawyer — using directive verbs, setting clear formats, and defining what “good” looks like

You’ll also see how better prompts deliver real ROI: faster reviews, fewer errors, and clearer communication with clients.
