Workflow

Overview

Preparing a pre-hearing statement of proof is tedious and time-consuming. Attorneys must manually compile witness lists, organize exhibits into tables, cross-reference sponsoring witnesses, track stipulations, and ensure compliance with tribunal-specific rules—often spending 4-5 hours on formatting and administrative work instead of case strategy.

CaseMark automatically extracts witness details, builds exhibit tables, maps exhibits to witnesses, and generates jurisdiction-neutral pre-hearing statements in minutes. Upload your pleadings, exhibits, and hearing orders, and receive a court-ready draft with witness summaries, exhibit lists, stipulations, and compliance certifications—ready for meet-and-confer and filing.

Questions

What is a pre-hearing statement of proof?

A pre-hearing statement of proof is a court filing that lists the witnesses and exhibits a party intends to present at an administrative hearing or arbitration. It typically includes witness summaries, exhibit descriptions, stipulations, and procedural details. CaseMark automates the entire drafting process from your case documents.

How long does it take to prepare a pre-hearing statement manually?

Manual preparation typically takes 4-5 hours, involving witness list compilation, exhibit organization, cross-referencing, and formatting. CaseMark reduces this to approximately 12 minutes by automatically extracting information from your uploaded documents and generating structured tables.

What documents do I need to generate a pre-hearing statement?

You need the notice of hearing or prehearing order, your pleadings (complaint and answer), and the exhibits you plan to introduce. Optional documents include expert reports, deposition transcripts, stipulations, and witness statements. CaseMark extracts relevant details from all uploaded materials.

Can CaseMark handle tribunal-specific formatting requirements?

Yes. CaseMark generates jurisdiction-neutral statements aligned with common U.S. administrative and arbitration practices, then allows customization for specific tribunal rules. The platform can search for and incorporate local court forms and requirements into the final draft.

How does CaseMark organize exhibits and witnesses?

CaseMark automatically creates tabular witness lists with testimony summaries, time estimates, and linked exhibits. It builds exhibit tables with sequential IDs, descriptions, sponsoring witnesses, stipulation status, and objection flags—all cross-referenced and ready for filing.

Does the tool track stipulations and meet-and-confer results?

Yes. CaseMark allows you to input stipulations and meet-and-confer outcomes, then automatically updates the statement to reflect agreed facts, joint exhibits, and resolved objections. The compliance statement is generated to document the conferral process.

What if I need to make changes after the initial draft?

CaseMark provides full editing capabilities. You can update witness details, add or remove exhibits, incorporate new stipulations, and regenerate sections as needed. The platform maintains version control and allows iterative refinement before filing.
