Explain My Employment Rights After Being Fired

Most people do not know their rights after termination and miss critical deadlines for filing claims or collecting evidence. This prompt helps you quickly assess whether you have a legal claim and what immediate steps you need to take to protect yourself. The 180-day EEOC filing deadline, for example, is something many people miss.

Why this prompt works

Most people write one-line prompts and get generic, surface-level AI responses. This prompt is engineered to produce expert-level output because it bakes in three principles that meaningfully shift response quality:

Role assignment

It tells the AI to act as a specific professional (a legal expert), activating more relevant knowledge and shifting away from generic advice.

Structured output

It specifies the exact response format - numbered steps, comparisons, risk ratings - so you get organized, actionable answers instead of a wall of prose.

Context anchoring

The slots you just filled force the AI to ground every recommendation in your specific situation instead of defaulting to textbook advice.

For sharper output, use this prompt with Legal Copilot - it already has legal expertise built in and ships output in the format you expect.
