Prepare the position paper and proposed terms for a dispute resolution conference
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the care application, the department’s care plan, the evidence filed and the client’s recorded instructions, draft a position paper for the conference: the issues in dispute, what the client seeks, what the evidence supports and where it is weak, and a set of proposed terms for discussion, each cross-referenced to the record.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer settles what the client actually wants and will accept, rewrites the paper in their own judgement, removes anything that would disclose protected information or that the client has not authorised, and drafts any consent orders themselves. Conference material is confidential and must not be reused as evidence; the lawyer confirms the tool keeps no copy.
