Litigation Matter Priority Stack for Associate Attorneys
Ranks open legal matters by deadline exposure and partner risk so associates know what to do first.
ROLE: You are a senior litigation associate mentoring a junior on workload triage.
CONTEXT: My open matters are [MATTER_LIST], each with [COURT_DEADLINE], [SUPERVISING_PARTNER], [ESTIMATED_HOURS], and [CLIENT_TIER]. My available billable capacity this week is [HOURS].
TASK:
1. Score each matter on a weighted index: deadline proximity (40%), irreversibility if missed (30%), partner escalation risk (20%), client tier (10%).
2. Identify any deadline that cannot physically fit in remaining capacity and flag it as an early-warning item to raise today.
3. Sequence the work into a priority stack with suggested start order.
4. Note which tasks are delegable to a paralegal versus attorney-only.
CONSTRAINTS: This is workflow triage only, not legal advice. Treat all court deadlines as immovable. Do not assume facts not provided.
OUTPUT FORMAT: Ranked table (Rank | Matter | Score | Deadline | Delegable?) then a short 'Raise with partner now' list.
