Ask me realistic practice-area questions one at a time (for example: walk me through how you would organize discovery on a large matter; how you cite-check a brief; how you build a privilege log; how you prep exhibits for a deposition).

After each answer, probe, then tell me what a strong, ethics-aware answer includes. Ask the first question now and wait.
