SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps legal teams build a deposition outline from the case theory and relevant eDiscovery records, including document-organized topics and impeachment material, so questioning stays tight and citation-safe.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Case-theory-driven outlines: Loads the matter’s theory and key facts from the configured CLAUDE.md profile and maps witness questions to those goals.
  • Record-grounded document organization: Pulls witness-authored, witness-related, and witness-mentioned documents from the connected eDiscovery platform and flags hot documents by date.
  • Impeachment-ready fidelity: Enforces quote and pinpoint discipline to prevent fabrication and broken impeachment (e.g., verbatim quotes only with exact record cites).
  • Posture-specific question framing: Structures the outline differently for adverse, friendly, neutral, and corporate representative (30(b)(6)/state equivalent) witnesses.
  • Privilege and destination safety gate: Checks where the output is going and offers privileged vs sanitized versions to avoid waiving protection.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to run deposition-prep for a specific witness name and build the deposition outline using the connected eDiscovery documents and the configured matter theory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a deposition outline from eDiscovery records and case theory?▼

To build a deposition outline, this Skill organizes witness documents from eDiscovery platforms around your matter's case theory and inserts impeachment-ready material with strict pinpoint citation fidelity. It structures questioning differently for adverse, friendly, neutral, and 30(b)(6) witnesses.

How does impeachment material get prepared for witness depositions?▼

Impeachment material is prepared by enforcing verbatim quote and pinpoint citation discipline, pulling relevant witness-authored and witness-mentioned documents from eDiscovery records to prevent fabrication and broken impeachment during questioning.

Can I prepare a 30(b)(6) corporate representative deposition outline using this?▼

Yes, you can prepare a 30(b)(6) corporate representative deposition outline. The Skill applies posture-specific question framing for corporate representatives, adverse, friendly, and neutral witnesses using jurisdiction-appropriate deposition rules and connected eDiscovery documents.

What's the best way to keep deposition exhibits and citations privilege-safe?▼

To keep deposition exhibits privilege-safe, the Skill performs a destination safety gate that checks where the output is going and offers privileged versus sanitized versions of the outline to avoid waiving protection.

Do I need to configure matter conflicts before generating a deposition outline?▼

Yes, you need to pass a matter conflicts gate before generating a deposition outline. The Skill also requires loading the configured CLAUDE.md context to map witness questions to the matter's theory and key facts.

Why use case-theory-driven deposition outlines instead of standard document review?▼

Case-theory-driven deposition outlines keep questioning tight and citation-safe by mapping every witness question to the matter's specific goals and key facts, rather than relying on unstructured standard document review.
