Review a housing court case as an experienced attorney
After Grok led to a missed filing, a commenter had Claude review their housing court case in a new chat as an experienced housing attorney.
- What They Did
- The poster said Grok led them to miss an important housing-court filing, then they switched to Claude to draft an opposition. In a fresh chat they asked Claude to review it as an experienced housing attorney, which changed the brief’s tone to admit the plaintiff’s mistakes; in another separate chat they asked for a seasoned-attorney review and Claude swung back toward blaming the defendant, leaving the poster unsure what to file.
- How It Went
- The concrete result was two conflicting rewritten versions of the same filing rather than a clear answer. The thread also surfaced that new Claude chats do not carry over prior chat context unless the user re-uploads material or keeps working in the same thread/project.
- Worth Knowing
- The main catch was context management: starting a new chat reset the case history, so separate sessions produced inconsistent advice.
