Ensuring accuracy in legal documents is vital. This section explains how ChatGPT can assist in checking for legal and grammatical errors.
Note - Whilst platforms like are great for this, we prefer GPT as it allows us to have creative freedom in the way we write.
Example 1 - Proof-Reading a Specific Clause in a Contract
Lets say you want to check if a clause is written properly
Attach the Document
Prompt this
Check the following clause in this contract for any legal or grammatical errors.
"The party's agrees to the terms stated herein and will ensure all obligations are
fulfilled as per the agreement."
Output
"The parties agree to the terms stated herein and will ensure all obligations are
fulfilled as per the agreement."
Example 2 - Email Correspondence Error Checking
Prompt 1
Check the following client email for errors and suggest corrections.
Highlight all of the initial errors and provide the original mistake, and then the
correction below it. When you are ready, say 'ready' and I will share the email
with you and you will tell me all the errors and suggest corrections, followed by
a full rewrite of the email.
ChatGPT will reply saying 'ready'
