Identify Legal Objectives with FOLIO
Identify the legal objectives for a matter using the FOLIO ontology's objectives taxonomy branch.
Workflow
Given a description of a legal matter, follow these steps:
-
Search for matches: Use folio:search_concepts with key legal terms from the matter to find candidate objectives in FOLIO.
-
Browse the objectives taxonomy: Use folio:get_taxonomy_branch("objectives") to review all 13 top-level objective categories (e.g., Litigation Objectives, Transactional Objectives, Regulatory Objectives, Risk Management, Fiduciary Duty, etc.).
-
Drill into relevant categories: Use folio:get_children(iri) on the most relevant categories to find specific objectives (e.g., specific claims, defenses, remedies, or filing types).
-
Get full details: Use folio:get_concept(iri) on each match for the complete definition, translations, identifiers, and cross-references.
Output Format
Return each applicable objective as:
- FOLIO Label: The official FOLIO concept name
- FOLIO IRI: The concept's unique identifier (e.g.,
https://folio.openlegalstandard.org/...)
- Definition: The FOLIO definition of this objective
- Parent Category: The top-level objective category
- Relevance: primary (central to the matter) or secondary (supporting or related)
- Reasoning: Brief explanation of why this objective applies
Most matters involve 2-5 objectives across one or more categories. List primary objectives first, then secondary ones.
