hlr-preemption-check

separate

Use when verifying that a Harvard Law Review (HLR) argument has not already been made — the law-review "preemption check" run across SSRN, Westlaw/Lexis, HeinOnline, and Google Scholar BEFORE drafting. Confirms originality and refines the claim; it does not draft the thesis (hlr-thesis-and-contribution) or the literature engagement in the body.

When to use

• verifying HLR argument originality
• checking if an argument has been published
• refining claims against nearest prior work
• confirming 'first to address' claims
• searching for in-press preemption risk

When not to use

• drafting the thesis
• drafting literature engagement in the body
• conducting a general literature review
• writing the article body
