Workflow

Overview

This skill transforms raw deposition transcripts and exhibit registers into structured, topic-based summaries with comprehensive exhibit-to-transcript citation mapping. Designed for U.S. commercial litigation, it delivers a neutral deposition digest, a key document index with risk flags, and precise page:line references—all in a fraction of the time manual review requires.

Summarizing depositions and building exhibit indexes is one of the most time-intensive tasks in commercial litigation. Associates and paralegals spend hours reading transcripts line by line, manually tracking exhibit references, normalizing inconsistent naming conventions, and cross-referencing testimony—all while trying to maintain accuracy and neutrality under tight deadlines.

CaseMark automates the entire deposition digest workflow. Upload your transcript and exhibit register, and the AI segments testimony into clear topic blocks, normalizes exhibit IDs, maps every citation to page:line references, and flags risks requiring attorney attention. The result is a comprehensive, neutral deposition summary package ready for litigation review in minutes.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your deposition transcript and exhibit register

  2. 2. AI normalizes exhibit IDs, segments testimony into topic blocks, and maps citations

  3. 3. Review the generated topic summaries, document index, and risk flags

  4. 4. Export your complete deposition digest in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

What types of deposition transcripts does this skill support?

CaseMark handles standard U.S. deposition transcripts with page:line numbering, including those with multiple counsel speakers, objections, and colloquy. The AI adapts to common reporter conventions and Q/A label formats.

How does the exhibit-to-transcript mapping work?

CaseMark scans the transcript for every exhibit reference—formal or informal—and maps each to the canonical exhibit ID from your register. The result is a comprehensive index showing every page:line where each exhibit is discussed, along with the witness's characterization.

Does the summary maintain neutrality for use by either side?

Yes. CaseMark generates neutral, fact-based summaries that report what the witness testified without advocacy language or characterization bias. This makes the output suitable for internal review by any party.

How does CaseMark handle inconsistent exhibit naming?

The AI automatically normalizes exhibit IDs across different naming conventions (e.g., 'Exh. 1', 'DEF. EXH. 2', 'PX-3') into a single consistent format, resolving informal references like 'the invoice' to their formal exhibit IDs.

What are the risk flags in the Key Document Index?

CaseMark flags potential issues such as authentication gaps, date ambiguities, inconsistencies between witness testimony and exhibit content, and areas requiring verification. These flags help attorneys prioritize follow-up during case preparation.

Can I use this for cross-examination preparation?

Absolutely. The topic-segmented summaries with precise page:line citations make it easy to locate key testimony for cross-examination. The risk flags and exhibit characterizations also highlight areas of potential impeachment or inconsistency.
