One of the biggest advantages of Jurilo is that it understands context. It remembers previous messages within a question and uses them to provide more precise and relevant answers.
However, context is only helpful if it remains focused.
Some users naturally continue adding completely new legal topics into the same question or project. While this may seem convenient, it can eventually reduce answer quality because the AI has to keep track of an increasingly large amount of unrelated information.
Think of it like discussing several court cases in a single meeting without ever changing the subject. At some point, even an experienced lawyer would need to ask:
"Which case are we talking about now?"
AI works in a similar way.
The Golden Rule
Start a new question whenever you have a new legal issue.
Only continue an existing question if you are discussing the same legal matter or asking closely related follow-up questions.
Good Examples
✅ Employment contract
Is this non-compete clause valid?
What if the employee resigns?
Does the clause also apply abroad?
How has the Federal Supreme Court interpreted similar clauses?
These questions all belong together.
✅ VAT issue
Is this transaction subject to Swiss VAT?
What documentation is required?
Which VAT rate applies?
Again, these are closely related and should remain in one conversation.
When to Start a New Question
Suppose your current conversation is about an employment contract.
Instead of asking:
How do I terminate the employee?
What is the corporate income tax treatment of this expense?
Can my landlord increase the rent?
Does GDPR apply to our customer database?
Create four separate questions.
Each becomes its own legal file with its own context.
Jurilo can then focus entirely on the relevant legal sources and reasoning.
The Same Applies to Projects
Projects are designed to organise related work.
For example:
Project: Acquisition of ABC AG
Within this project you may have several separate questions:
Due diligence
Employment contracts
Share purchase agreement
Tax consequences
Competition law
Board resolutions
Each question has its own focused context while remaining organised within the same project.
This is usually much more effective than having one extremely long conversation covering every legal aspect.
Why This Improves Answer Quality
Keeping questions focused allows Jurilo to:
maintain a clear legal context
retrieve the most relevant Swiss legal sources
reason more accurately
avoid mixing unrelated facts
produce more reliable and consistent answers
work faster
In contrast, very long conversations that jump between unrelated legal topics force the AI to process much more historical information, increasing the likelihood that earlier details influence later answers unnecessarily.
A Simple Rule to Remember
One legal issue = One question.
One major matter = One project.
Within that project, create as many focused questions as you need.
This mirrors how experienced lawyers organise their work: every case has its own file, and every legal issue is analysed on its own merits.
In Summary
Jurilo performs best when each conversation has a clear purpose.
If you have a follow-up question about the same legal matter, simply continue the conversation.
If you have a new legal issue, start a new question.
This small habit keeps your legal research organised, makes it easier to find previous work later, and helps Jurilo deliver the highest possible quality and reliability.
