IRAC + 5 C's: the framework that turns hallucination-prone research into committee-ready memos.
“The legal field doesn't punish prompts that fail — it punishes prompts that fail confidently. Every memo needs an explicit 'what I'm unsure about' section.”— SHE · YOUR AI GUIDE
Thomson Reuters' 2025 legal AI adoption report found that 60-80% of associate research time can shift to AI-assisted workflows — BUT the same report shows that hallucinated citations are the #1 disciplinary risk. Two cases in 2023 (Mata v. Avianca, Park v. Kim) led to sanctions for lawyers who submitted briefs with fabricated cases.
The IRAC framework (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion) is the canonical structure of legal analysis. Wrapped with the 5 C's — Clear ask, Context, Confidentiality, Continue conversation, Confirm results — it produces memos that are auditable. Each step has an explicit "unsure about" slot that maps to follow-up work.
The goal isn't to replace the lawyer. It's to ensure every output names what it doesn't know. That single discipline closes the gap between unreliable assistant and trustworthy junior associate.
