Depositions your way

A deposition summary or abstract is a summarized version of a deposition transcript. CaseMark offers a variety of AI-powered deposition summary tools for different needs. If we don't have the format you need, please contact us. We also offer customized summaries tailored to your exact needs and format.

Page line deposition summaries

A page line deposition summary identifies important points in the deposition by the page and line(s). This common deposition summary format is useful for attorneys who want to scan the summary or compare one summary to another. This format uses hyperlinks for quick reference to the exact location of specific testimony in the original transcript.

A 5:1 page line summary is 5 pages reduced to 1 page. And 10:1 is 10 pages reduced to 1 page. If you have a 200-page document, a 5:1 would be 40 pages (more content, longer), and a 10 to 1 would be 20 pages (much more condensed).

Narrative deposition summaries

Narrative summaries convert deposition testimony and relevant facts into a narrative or story-like format. It includes the most important points and testimony in a manner that is easier to read and understand, often used for providing a concise summary to clients, insurance adjustors or team members who may not have time for an in-depth document review.

How are Page Line and Narrative Deposition summaries different?

Page line deposition summaries provide a detailed breakdown of testimony by referencing specific pages and lines from the transcript, allowing for precise cross-referencing. In contrast, narrative deposition summaries offer a cohesive overview of the deposition in paragraph form, summarizing the key points and context without exact page references. Page line summaries are useful for pinpointing details, while narrative summaries provide a broader understanding of the testimony.

Topic-based deposition summaries – coming soon!

Unlike a general summary, which provides an overall account of the deposition, an issue- or topic-based summary targets particular aspects of the testimony that are pertinent to the central disputes or questions in the case. This typically includes the topic, pages, and summary.

For each issue or topic, our summaries note the facts, testimony, and evidence that pertain directly to the topic at hand. This may include direct answers, admissions, contradictions, or nuances in the witness’s statements.
