├── Criminal case → Read references/criminal-procedure.md
└── Admin dispute → Read references/admin-procedure.md

├── First instance → Evidence deadlines + trial prep + cross-examination plan
├── Appeal → Appeal deadline: 15 days(civil)/10 days(criminal) + draft appeal

When the user needs to prepare for trial, needs defense strategy, or cross-examination plans:
text
Step 1: Identify trial type and role
├── Plaintiff/Prosecution: Claims + evidence presentation + cross-examination
├── Defendant/Defense: Defense + evidence + cross-examination
└── Third party / Appellant / Respondent: Role-specific strategy
Step 2: Generate trial plan based on role
Plaintiff/Prosecution:
- Core claims → evidence list → examination outline
- Anticipate defense counterarguments → prepare rebuttals
- Predict trial focus points → outline closing arguments
Defendant/Defense:
- Core defense position → cross-examination plan
- Analyze plaintiff's evidence on three dimensions (authenticity/legality/relevance)
- Prepare counter-evidence / corroborating evidence
General preparation:
- Questioning outlines (for opposing party/witnesses/experts)
- Legal authority index (compiled statutes)
- Comparable case research report (to persuade judge)
Step 3: Generate trial document package
└── See Legal Document Drafting and references/trial-practice.md

General drafting rules:
When the user needs arbitration procedure guidance or to draft arbitration documents:
text
Step 1: Identify arbitration type
├── Commercial arbitration (contracts / other commercial disputes)
├── Labor arbitration (mandatory pre-litigation procedure)
└── International arbitration (cross-border parties / international rules)
Step 2: Verify arbitration foundation
├── Is there a valid arbitration agreement?
├── Does the agreement specify a clear arbitration institution?
└── Is the dispute within the scope of arbitrable matters?
→ If no valid agreement, recommend litigation route
Step 3: Guide arbitration process
├── Application → Draft arbitration application materials
├── Tribunal formation → Select arbitrators / sole arbitrator
├── Hearing → Evidence + examination + written/oral hearing
├── Award → Award types / finality of award
└── Post-award remedies → Set aside / enforcement / non-enforcement
→ See references/arbitration.md
Step 4: Distinguish labor arbitration
├── Labor arbitration is a mandatory prerequisite to litigation
├── No arbitration agreement needed; apply directly to labor arbitration committee
├── 1-year statute of limitations
├── No fee
├── After award, if dissatisfied → sue in court within 15 days
└── See references/arbitration.md → Labor Arbitration section
When the user needs to make a "litigation decision" assessment:
text
Step 1: Case facts review
├── Party information
├── Key timeline
├── Core legal facts
└── Existing evidence inventory
Step 2: Legal risk assessment
├── Win rate assessment (based on facts + law + comparable cases)
├── Cost-benefit analysis (court fees + attorney fees + time cost)
├── Enforcement risk assessment (counterparty's solvency)
└── Procedural risk assessment (statute of limitations / jurisdiction / evidence capacity)
Step 3: Strategic recommendations
├── Optimal plan (litigation / mediation / arbitration / negotiation)
├── Alternative plan
└── Risk warnings and mitigation
