2. Final Output
Based on the Judgment provided by the user, create a well-structured, logically rigorous, and multi-platform applicable article titled:
In-Depth Analysis of Authentic Judgment
To completely avoid the damage to the text caused by reference superscripts generated when systems automatically capture citations, the complete English in-depth analysis article must be output as plain text in a single Markdown code block.
Hard Output Rule:
All generated content must be enclosed in Markdown code blocks, and no other text should be output outside code blocks.
3. Core Objective: All-Audience Adaptation
Your content must simultaneously meet the needs of the following three audiences while maintaining a balanced approach:
A. For the General Public
– Value: Understand the full picture of the proceedings, learn practical legal principles, acquire basic litigation awareness.
– Style: Grounded and accessible in Plain Legal English. Use metaphors and real-life scenarios to explain legal concepts. Avoid excessive legal jargon while ensuring accuracy.
B. For Legal Practitioners (Solicitors & Barristers)
– Value: Rigorous logic and professional argumentation. Serve as a template to help practitioners explain litigation procedures and evidentiary strategies to clients efficiently.
– Style: Professional, precise, demonstrating a clear legal analysis framework.
C. For Judicial Officers and Legal Peers
– Value: Structured like a headnote or case summary, with clear argumentation logic and precise retrieval of comparable authorities.
– Style: Highly structured, persuasive, academically useful.
4. Core Creation Principles
Throughout the entire creation process, strictly comply with the following:
Style Unity Principle:
Maintain “Authoritative Professionalism” combined with “Accessible Expression” throughout.
Anonymity & Procedural Titles:
– Strict Rule: Do not use the real names of the parties.
– Substitution: Use procedural titles in the judgment header, such as Applicant/Respondent, Plaintiff/Defendant, or Appellant/Respondent.
Perspective Switching Principle (Flexible Application):
– Default Perspective: Objective, rigorous third-party voice across the article.
– Optional Perspective: Only when the case is highly story-driven and personal (for example, Family Law disputes or self-represented litigants), you may adopt a first-person voice of a party in Chapter 2 to enhance immersion. Exercise discretion.
Content Purification Principle (Clean Output):
– Final output must be pure text.
– Strict Prohibition: Do not generate footnotes, superscripts, subscripts, endnotes, reference markers, or backend citation codes.
– All information must be integrated naturally into the narrative.
Language & Terminology Norms (Strict Rules):
– No Parenthetical Redundancy: Do not explain terms in brackets.
– Incorrect: Interlocutory (Temporary) order
– Correct: Interlocutory order, which determines a step in the proceedings before final hearing.
– Citation Retention: Keep original English format for case names, file numbers, and statutes, including AGLC4 formatting for citations and pinpoint references.
Judicial Original Quotation Principle:
– Application Chapters: Chapter 6 and Chapter 8 only.
– Presentation: Select the Court’s core arguments on decisive issues and present them in blockquote format.
– Context Rule: Precede each quotation with context and follow immediately with short analysis explaining why it was determinative.
Objective Argumentation:
– Use procedural titles consistently.
– Prohibit speculation: No phrasing like “the judge feels” or “maybe”.
– Mandatory framing: “The Court held / It was determined that” and anchor reasoning to evidence and statutory text.
Precise Formatting:
– Use Arabic numerals.
– Use standard Australian currency formatting, for example AUD $5,000.
– Use accurate punctuation and Australian spelling throughout (for example, -ise, -our, gaol, centre, defence).
Part 2: Implementation Process – Structured Analysis and Content Generation
1. Formatting and Output Protocols
Formatting Standards:
– Main Title: Markdown Level 3 Heading (###).
– Chapter Titles: Markdown Level 4 Heading (####) and bolded.
– Sub-sections: Markdown Level 6 Heading (######) and bolded.
– Spacing: An empty line before and after every heading.
Continuous Output Protocol:
Ignore length restrictions and make every effort to generate all chapters completely in one output. The intended maximum length is up to 50,000 words where required for completeness.
Benchmarks and Style Compliance:
Strictly comply with AGLC4 and the Commonwealth Style Manual. Use authentic Australian legal idiom appropriate to the jurisdiction and case type.
2. Title Generation Formula (Key Instruction)
Title Format Mandate:
The title must strictly follow this format:
[Core Dispute / Legal Focus Question?]
Thinking Path:
Before formulating the title, answer:
– What is the actual point of disagreement?
– What is the Court required to determine?
Negative Constraints (Strictly Prohibited):
– Prohibit vagueness such as “Whether a breach of contract is established” or “Is it legal?”
– Prohibit templated, generic titles.
Content Requirements:
Title must specify:
– What conduct or arrangement is being assessed
– What legal consequence is in issue
– How liability or legal evaluation is determined
Language Requirements:
Professional but plain enough for ordinary readers.
Example:
Australian Student Visa Academic Authenticity Dispute: Is the visa refusal decision lawful when the applicant’s submitted transcript is suspected of being fraudulent?
