Prompt Engineering  

Write Prompts for Legal, Financial, or Medical Domains

๐Ÿš€ Introduction

When it comes to law, finance, and medicine, accuracy isnโ€™t optional โ€” itโ€™s mandatory.

Unlike casual AI use (e.g., writing an email), prompts in these domains must be:

  • Structured (to ensure consistency)

  • Domain-specific (legal, financial, or clinical terminology)

  • Compliant (avoid hallucinations, clarify limitations)

Well-crafted prompts can help professionals analyze documents, generate summaries, automate reports, and support decision-making โ€” while still requiring human validation.

๐Ÿ“Œ Legal Prompt Engineering

Use Cases

  • Contract analysis

  • Case law summarization

  • Compliance checks

Prompt Example 1. Contract Review

"Extract key obligations and deadlines from this contract and summarize them in bullet points."

๐Ÿ‘‰ Output

  • Party A delivers within 30 days.

  • Party B pays within 45 days.

  • Non-compliance โ†’ penalties apply.

Prompt Example 2. Case Law Summary

"Summarize this court ruling in 150 words, highlighting the decision and legal precedent."

๐Ÿ“Œ Financial Prompt Engineering

Use Cases

  • Report generation

  • Risk assessment

  • Data extraction from filings

Prompt Example 1. Financial Report Extraction

"From this quarterly report, extract: Revenue, Expenses, Profit Margin, and EPS. Present as JSON."

๐Ÿ‘‰ Output

{ "Revenue": "2.4B", "Expenses": "1.6B", "Profit Margin": "33%", "EPS": "1.22" }

Prompt Example 2. Risk Analysis

"Analyze this portfolio and classify investments into High, Medium, or Low Risk with reasons."

๐Ÿ“Œ Medical Prompt Engineering

โš ๏ธ Important: Prompts in healthcare should only be used for educational or supportive tasks, never as a replacement for licensed medical advice.

Use Cases

  • Patient record summarization

  • Clinical note extraction

  • Medical education

Prompt Example 1. Patient Data Extraction

"Extract patient name, age, diagnosis, and prescribed medications from this clinical note."

๐Ÿ‘‰ Output

{ "Name": "John Smith", "Age": 52, "Diagnosis": "Type 2 Diabetes", "Medications": ["Metformin 500mg", "Insulin 10 units daily"] }

Prompt Example 2. Educational Explanation

"Explain hypertension to a patient in simple terms, using a 5th-grade reading level."
