    What Types of Prompts Do Legal Professionals Use?

    Breakdown of the categories of prompts legal professionals submit to AI tools - from research and drafting to compliance and due diligence.

    Legal Research & Analysis24.3%
    Document Drafting & Review21.7%
    Contract Analysis14.2%
    Regulatory Compliance11.8%
    Case Strategy & Argumentation8.5%
    Legal Summarization6.9%
    Due Diligence4.8%
    Client Communication3.6%
    Litigation Support2.4%
    Other / General Questions1.8%

    Measured data - pre-processed from HAQQ's real Legal AI Index usage dataset (134,000+ data points across 30 countries) or HAQQ's own /50 cross-model legal benchmark.

    HAQQ-measured prompt data shows legal work concentrated in two categories: Legal Research & Analysis (24.3%) and Document Drafting & Review (21.7%) together account for nearly half of all prompts, with Contract Analysis a distant third at 14.2%. Litigation Support (2.4%) and general questions (1.8%) sit at the bottom, suggesting AI adoption in legal practice is still anchored in research and drafting rather than courtroom-facing work. For legal teams evaluating AI tools, this points to research and drafting quality as the highest-leverage areas to benchmark first.
