ylj-preemption-check

separate

Use when verifying that a The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) claim is genuinely novel and not preempted by prior scholarship. It runs the systematic SSRN/Westlaw/HeinOnline search and writes the "what's new" paragraph; it does not draft the thesis (use ylj-thesis-and-contribution).

When to use

• verifying YLJ claim novelty
• confirming no prior scholarship preempts the claim
• running systematic SSRN/Westlaw/HeinOnline search
• writing the "what's new" paragraph
• distinguishing claim from close existing pieces
• classifying near-misses
• building a near-miss ledger

When not to use

• drafting the thesis
