Lebensohl is a contract bridge convention whose variants can be used in the following situations:
by responder after an opponent's overcall of a one notrump (1NT) opening bid in order to compete further in the auction without necessarily committing the partnership to game.
after opponents' weak-two bids[1] and
in responding to a reverse by partner.[2]
