AI Trial Prep Agent

Trial is in 6 weeks on a personal injury matter that's been pending for 2 years. The matter file has 4 deposition transcripts, 312 exhibits in the production set, 2 expert reports, the medical chronology, and 18 months of correspondence. In the old workflow, your trial team starts the assembly process now and works every weekend through the trial date. The Trial Prep agent produces the working notebook in days: a witness list ordered to the case theory with examination outlines pulled from prior statements, an exhibit list with foundation arguments and likely objections noted, the pattern jury instructions for every cause of action and affirmative defense, a voir dire outline tuned to the venue, and first drafts of the opening and closing.

The trial team spends the next 6 weeks refining and rehearsing instead of assembling. The associate who used to lose every weekend through trial gets her Saturdays back. The partner walks into voir dire with the same notebook he would have built by hand, except now he had time to read it twice.

The agent reads the entire matter file (depositions, discovery responses, expert reports, medical chronology, correspondence) and assembles the working trial notebook. The witness list is ordered to the case theory with examination outlines drafted from prior statements and contradictions flagged for impeachment. The exhibit list tracks every document, identifies the witness who can lay foundation, and notes the likely objections the opposing party will raise. Pattern jury instructions are selected per cause of action and per affirmative defense for the controlling jurisdiction.

Beyond the assembly, the agent drafts the soft documents: the voir dire question outline tuned to the venue and the matter type, the opening statement structured to the case theory, the closing argument anchored to the verdict form. Every deliverable is a working draft for the trial team to refine. The point isn't to replace trial judgment; it's to give the trial team the time to apply judgment instead of spending it on assembly.

Every deliverable is a working draft. The trial team owns every strategic call: which witnesses to call, which exhibits to publish, which arguments to lead with. The agent assembles the materials so the team can apply judgment to the trial, not to the prep. The reviewer's checklist surfaces the highest-stakes items (the impeachment material on the most important witnesses, the exhibit foundations most likely to be contested) so verification is built into the workflow.

The matter file stays inside your account. Model partners we use operate under zero data retention so transcripts and case content aren't stored after processing or used to train models. For matters under a protective order, the agent inherits the same handling rules that govern the rest of your file.
