of 8— Create a ChatGPT Account

What you'll accomplish

You'll set up ChatGPT Plus to draft court report sections in 15-30 minutes instead of 4-8 hours, using a structured prompting approach that keeps client information out of the AI while still producing professional, court-ready drafts.

What you'll need

A ChatGPT account (free accounts work for shorter reports; Plus is better for longer ones)
Time needed: 20 minutes to set up; 15-30 minutes per report section after that
Cost: Free / $20/month for ChatGPT Plus (longer context, faster responses)
Your case notes or bullet-point summary of the relevant case facts

Court Report Drafting with ChatGPT Plus

Step 1: Create a ChatGPT Account

Go to chat.openai.com. Click Sign up and create an account with your personal email (not your work email; keep your personal AI use separate from agency systems). Choose a username and password.

What you should see: The ChatGPT chat interface with a blank message box at the bottom. Troubleshooting: If you're using a work computer, your agency's network may block ChatGPT. Try using your personal phone on mobile data for the setup.
