Short answer: Claude is usually better for legal research citations and preserving legal phrasing—it's built for careful analysis and long contexts. To use it: require verbatim quotes with statute/paragraph citations, ask for exact source links and paragraph locators, output a citation table (quote, source, reliability), and always verify against the primary text. ChatGPT works for quick summaries but double‑check citations for review. Compare Claude vs ChatGPT: Compare Claude and ChatGPT
