[Prompt History/Draft]

“You are a U.S. attorney, professor of American law, legal research expert, and Bluebook citation expert. I want to systematically learn how to read and use federal case reporters like an actual legal professional, not merely how to search for cases, but how U.S. federal court decisions are produced, in which reporters they are published, how they are cited, and what legal authority they carry. First, explain the structure of the U.S. federal court system by dividing it into the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. Courts of Appeals, and U.S. District Courts, and organize which reporters contain the decisions of each court, including United States Reports, Supreme Court Reporter, Lawyers’ Edition, Federal Reporter, Federal Appendix, and Federal Supplement. Explain the difference between official and unofficial reporters, official citation and unofficial citation, parallel citation, slip opinion, advance sheet, and bound volume. Using a citation such as Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), explain the meaning of the case name, volume number, reporter abbreviation, first page, pinpoint citation, court, year, and subsequent history. Provide several examples of citations from the Supreme Court, Courts of Appeals, and District Courts, and train the reader to identify which court issued the decision simply by looking at the citation. When reading the text of a case, distinguish among the syllabus, headnote, majority opinion, plurality opinion, concurring opinion, dissenting opinion, judgment, and mandate, and explain which of these have binding legal force and which are editorial aids added by the publisher. Next, teach how to write a case brief by distinguishing facts, procedural history, issue, holding, rule of law, reasoning, and disposition, and present a step-by-step reading method that a beginner should follow when reading a single case. Also explain the meanings of binding precedent and persuasive authority, vertical precedent and horizontal precedent, stare decisis, circuit precedent, the limits of district court opinions, published and unpublished opinions, en banc decisions, circuit splits, and certiorari. Finally, explain how to determine whether a case is still good law by using Shepard’s, KeyCite, negative treatment, positive treatment, overruling, distinguishing, abrogation, reversal, and vacatur. Organize the answer in the following order: ① the structure of federal court case reporters, ② comparative table by reporter, ③ how to interpret citations, ④ how to read the text of a case, ⑤ how to determine precedential authority, ⑥ how to use Shepardizing and KeyCite, ⑦ practice exercises with explanations, and ⑧ beginner’s checklist. Present the above content as a PDF file, indicate the author as The American Newspaper, place the website address https://americannewspaper.org next to The American Newspaper, and generate images appropriate to the content and insert them into the document.”

1. “You are an expert on the U.S. federal budget, congressional budget procedures, fiscal policy, revenue and expenditure structures, Treasury securities, fiscal deficits, government debt, budget law, and the roles of the CBO, OMB, Treasury Department, and Congress.

I want to understand the U.S. federal budget not simply as “a plan for government spending,” but as a vast fiscal system in which American state power, politics, the economy, welfare policy, national defense, taxation, debt, financial markets, and the institutional power struggle between the executive branch and Congress are all combined.

Systematically explain the basic structure of the U.S. federal budget. In particular, explain the roles of the President’s Budget, the Office of Management and Budget, the Congressional Budget Office, the House Budget Committee, the Senate Budget Committee, the Appropriations Committees, the Ways and Means Committee, and the Finance Committee. Analyze the differences among mandatory spending, discretionary spending, entitlement programs, defense spending, non-defense discretionary spending, and interest on the debt.

Also explain the structure of federal revenues, including the relative shares of individual income taxes, corporate income taxes, payroll taxes, customs duties, and other receipts. Explain the budgetary structures of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, national defense, interest on the national debt, education, transportation, veterans’ affairs, agriculture, and foreign affairs spending.

Include explanations of the following concepts: budget resolution, appropriations bills, continuing resolution, omnibus bill, reconciliation, debt ceiling, government shutdown, sequestration, deficit, national debt, trust fund, and baseline budgeting.

Analyze how the U.S. federal budget is connected to political negotiation, partisan conflict, election strategy, interest groups, lobbying, financial markets, inflation, interest rates, economic growth, and debates over the welfare state.

Finally, provide a step-by-step learning guide on how to read and analyze the U.S. federal budget, how to use major official sources such as the White House Budget, OMB Historical Tables, CBO Budget and Economic Outlook, Treasury Monthly Statement, and GAO reports, and the core concepts that beginners must understand.”

1. “You are an attorney specializing in U.S. federal civil litigation and an expert in drafting complaints. I intend to draft a Complaint to file a civil action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, S.D.N.Y., which has jurisdiction over Manhattan, New York City. Based on the facts below, draft an English Complaint in the format actually used for filing in U.S. federal court.

The Complaint must include a court caption stating UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, the names, addresses, legal status, domicile, or principal place of business of the plaintiff and defendant, subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, venue, factual allegations, causes of action, damages and injuries, demand for relief, jury demand, and signature block.

For subject matter jurisdiction, analyze the applicable basis among federal question jurisdiction, diversity jurisdiction, and supplemental jurisdiction, together with the relevant provisions of Title 28 of the United States Code. For venue, explain why S.D.N.Y. is proper under 28 U.S.C. § 1391.

The Complaint must comply with Rule 8 and Rule 10 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Organize the specific facts into numbered paragraphs so that the pleading satisfies the plausibility standard under Twombly/Iqbal, relying on concrete facts rather than mere legal conclusions.

For each cause of action, separately set out the legal elements, relevant facts, liability of each defendant, and causation between the defendant’s conduct and the damages.

If necessary information is missing, first provide a list of questions needed to complete the Complaint, but draft the portions that can be drafted by marking missing information as [PLACEHOLDER].

Do not invent false facts, nonexistent case law, or unverified statutes.

At the end, include a filing checklist covering whether the following are required: Complaint, Civil Cover Sheet, Summons, filing fee or IFP application, service of process, ECF filing, Rule 7.1 disclosure statement, and related case statement.

The facts are as follows: [Enter case summary].

Plaintiff information: [Plaintiff’s name, address, citizenship/residence, and if a company, state of incorporation and principal place of business].

Defendant information: [Defendant’s name, address, citizenship/residence, and if a company, state of incorporation and principal place of business].

Type of claim: [breach of contract / tort / fraud / employment discrimination / civil rights violation / securities / consumer protection / other].

Damages: [monetary damages, emotional distress, business losses, medical expenses, attorney’s fees, punitive damages, etc.].

Requested relief: [damages / injunction / declaratory judgment / specific performance / attorney’s fees / jury trial, etc.].“

1. “You are a top-level lobbyist operating a lobbying firm in Washington, D.C., as well as a public policy strategist, congressional and executive-branch relations expert, regulatory analyst, and expert in political finance and interest-group strategy. I want to systematically understand how lobbying strategy and lobbying methods actually work in the United States. Do not simply explain lobbying as “persuading politicians.” Instead, analyze the structure of the U.S. lobbying industry and how Congress, the White House, federal agencies, state governments, think tanks, the media, civic organizations, trade associations, PACs, Super PACs, law firms, and consulting firms are interconnected.

In particular, provide a comprehensive explanation of the basic concept of lobbying; the difference between legal lobbying and illegal influence operations; major regulations such as the Lobbying Disclosure Act and FARA; congressional lobbying strategies; regulatory lobbying targeting the executive branch and federal agencies; strategies for drafting and amending legislation; the use of hearings, committees, and staff networks; the relationship between political finance and lobbying; grassroots lobbying and astroturf strategies; media campaigns and public-opinion formation; the lobbying methods used by corporations, trade associations, foreign governments, nonprofit organizations, and other actors; the design process of a successful lobbying campaign; ethical boundaries and legal risks; real-world case studies; and the practical approaches required when startups, media companies, financial firms, and foreign companies design lobbying strategies in the United States.

Finally, present a step-by-step execution framework and checklist for designing a lobbying strategy in the United States.”
