Open-source legal prompts. If you are interested in legal prompt engineering, please do not hesitate to join this project and make your contribution!

Why do this? (Generated by chatGPT)

Creating an open-source project for legal prompts engineering can bring efficiency, knowledge sharing, flexibility, and community building. It promotes human flourishing by providing purpose and accomplishment for contributors who share their expertise and collaborate to advance the field. As a Notre Dame Law School graduate, I am putting into practice the motto of NDLS, 'Educating a Different Kind of Lawyer', through my actions.

Example Dialogue

Question:

Please analyze if the hypothesis is True or False according to the given legal reasoning approach. Approach: Issue, rule, application, conclusion. Premise: Article 509 The obligor of either of the following obligations may not duly assert a set-off against the obligee; provided, however, that this does not apply if the obligee acquires a claim corresponding to the relevant obligation from another person: (i) an obligation for compensation for loss or damage based on a tort committed in bad faith; or (ii) an obligation for compensation for loss or damage for death or injury to person (excluding the one set forth in the preceding item). Hypothesis: If a person that holds a monetary claim has borne an obligation for compensation for loss or damage for injury to the obligor of that monetary claim, the person may not duly assert against the obligor, a setoff using the monetary claim against the obligation for compensation. True or False?

Answer:

Issue: Whether a person who holds a monetary claim and an obligation for compensation for loss or damage for injury to the obligor can assert a setoff using the monetary claim against the obligation for compensation.

Rule: Article 509 of the law states that an obligor cannot duly assert a set-off against the obligee if the obligee has an obligation for compensation for loss or damage based on a tort committed in bad faith or compensation for loss or damage for death or injury to a person.

Application: The hypothesis suggests that a person who holds a monetary claim and has an obligation for compensation for loss or damage for injury to the obligor cannot assert a setoff using the monetary claim against the obligation for compensation. This situation is not covered explicitly in Article 509. Therefore, the rule cannot be applied directly. However, the general principle of law is that a person cannot set off two unrelated claims against each other.

Conclusion: The hypothesis is true. The rule in Article 509 prohibits an obligor from asserting a setoff against the obligee if the obligee has an obligation for compensation for loss or damage based on a tort committed in bad faith or compensation for loss or damage for death or injury to a person. Although the rule does not specifically mention the situation described in the hypothesis, the general principle of law applies, and the person cannot set off the monetary claim against the obligation for compensation.

Here are my texts: 标的公司及各承诺方应被视为分别及连带地于交割日向本次投资人陈述、保证和承诺,标的公司和各承诺方保证的所有条款在重大方面均将是真实、准确的,就如同标的公司和各承诺方保证是于交割日作出的一样,但涉及某特定时间点事实且依其性质仅在该特定时间点存续或有效的陈述、保证,仅需在该时间点是真实和准确的。

Answer:

The target company and each committing party should be considered as making separate and joint representations, warranties, and covenants to the investors on the delivery date. All terms guaranteed by the target company and each committing party will be truthful and accurate in all material respects, just as they are guaranteed on the delivery date. However, representations, warranties, and covenants that relate to specific time points and that are only valid or effective at that specific time point, and are true and accurate only at that time point, need only be true and accurate at that time point due to their nature.

  1. The names and addresses of the buyer and seller
  2. A detailed description of the goods being sold
  3. The price of the goods and the payment terms
  4. The delivery terms, including the time and place of delivery
  5. The UCC warranty provisions that will be included in the contract

  8. The remedies that are available to the buyer in case of breach of warranty or other breaches of the contract
  9. Any additional terms and conditions that the parties wish to include in the contract

In addition to the above information, it would also be helpful to know any other relevant facts about the transaction, such as whether the goods are new or used, whether they are custom-made or off-the-shelf, and whether the parties have any prior relationship or history of dealing with each other. This information will help ensure that the sales of goods contract is tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of the parties and is enforceable under Indiana law.
