“All the intelligence that’s fit to argue.”
A daily AI-powered briefing publication for workers’ compensation and personal injury attorneys, delivered in the aesthetic of a classic legal broadsheet. Built on Claude + web search. Run it once a day. Stay ahead of the practice.
Legal Intel is a Claude Project + React/HTML application that produces a fully formatted, newspaper-style daily intelligence brief covering:
- AI tool launches and product news for WC/PI legal practice
- Case law and regulatory developments from WCAB, state boards, and appellate courts
- Medical and expert witness AI developments affecting causation and damages arguments
- Agentic AI workflow developments for law firms
- ABA and state bar ethics guidance on AI use
- Curated daily resources (CLEs, papers, tools)
- Strategic takes for practitioners and founders building in this space
- Open claude.ai
- Create a new Project
- Name it:
Legal Intel - Paste the contents of
CLAUDE_PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.mdinto the Project Instructions field - Each morning, open the project and type:
run legal
Claude runs a full web-searched brief and outputs 3 files: index.html, YYYY-MM-DD.html, and archive.html.
The src/LegalIntel.jsx file is a standalone React component that renders the brief in a full broadsheet newspaper layout with live Claude API calls. The legal-intel.html file is a zero-dependency single-file version.
Run locally:
git clone https://github.com/unclejim7/legal-intel
cd legal-intel
npm install
npm run devAfter each run legal execution, upload the 3 generated files to your repo:
