Boilerplate clauses, client intake, document review
Template language you trust at the hotword level.
Clause boilerplate, intake checklists, redline comment shortcuts, filing cover-letter stubs. Version history on every macro means you can prove a clause has not drifted.
The problem
What makes legal different.
Lawyers paste the same confidentiality clauses, intake questions, and review comments hundreds of times a year. Drift in a clause template is a malpractice risk; version history on macros is how you defend against it.
Sample library
Hotwords a legal would keep.
A plausible shortlist - build your own from here. Every macro ships editable and deletable; nothing is forced on your library.
.conf
Confidentiality clause - standard commercial variant, last reviewed [$DATE].
.intake
[Client intake] Full name, matter summary, conflicts check, retainer, preferred contact.
/redline

.cover
Cover letter for filing - court, docket, parties, attached documents.
/deposition
Prep checklist: documents reviewed, witness questions, exhibits, objections expected.
What makes the difference: Every macro carries full version history, so you can roll back a clause to any prior revision and show the review date. Combine with the site blocklist to disable expansion inside your practice management system if firm policy requires manual entry there.
