Workflow

Overview

CaseMark's Alibi Notice Drafter uses AI to generate fully compliant Notice of Alibi Defense filings under Fed. R. Crim. P. 12.1 or state equivalents. It maps charging document timelines against alibi locations, witnesses, and corroborating evidence to produce court-ready notices that satisfy disclosure obligations while preserving defense strategy.

Drafting a Notice of Alibi Defense requires meticulous attention to detail—matching charged offense timelines to specific alibi locations, organizing witness disclosures with full contact information and expected testimony, and cataloging corroborating evidence with timestamps. A single omission or vague entry can result in the notice being struck or the alibi defense excluded entirely.

CaseMark automates the drafting of Rule 12.1-compliant alibi notices by analyzing your charging documents, alibi details, and witness information to produce a structured, court-ready filing. The AI enforces specificity standards, maps corroborating evidence to timelines, and includes supplementation reservations—so you can meet disclosure deadlines with confidence.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload charging documents, alibi details, witness information, and corroborating evidence

  2. 2. AI analyzes the charged offense timeline and maps alibi locations, witnesses, and evidence

  3. 3. Review and customize the generated Rule 12.1-compliant alibi notice

  4. 4. Export in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF) for filing
