As a lawyer, my litigation drafting style is a bit unusual.
I draft in structured source form. For instance:
- I write affidavits in YAML.
- For processes, applications/motions, and submissions, I use metadata-rich Markdown with Jinja2 templating.
Since my source files are structured, this lets me do fancy things: inline calculations (e.g. interest/damages), component inheritance (e.g. court intitulements), etc.
ChatGPT's observation is unnecessarily flattering, but it does make me think.
