AI Tools for Practicing Lawyers · 2026-03-17 · 29 min
Using a simple framework to get better results from ChatGPT, Copilot, and other AI tools Lawyers already know how to structure thinking - we learned it for the bar exam with IRAC. But when it comes to AI, most of us were never given a framework for how to communicate with it. In this episode, we introduce RTCF (Role, Task, Context, Format) - a simple, flexible structure that helps lawyers get better, more useful results from AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. We also explain why prompting is the “heart and soul” of AI usage , and why the real issue isn’t “garbage in, garbage out” - it’s whether you’re giving AI a usable version of the case . This episode kicks off our Prompt Strategy Series , where we’ll apply these ideas to real legal workflows like marketing, client intake, document review, and more.
