SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill builds a deposition outline that organizes witness topics around case theory while surfacing impeachment material from the eDiscovery record.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Document-driven outline building: pulls documents authored by or mentioning the witness and organizes hot items by date.
  • Theory-aligned structure: maps background, good facts, bad facts, impeachment, and a tightly sequenced pivot-fact section to the case theory from the configured CLAUDE.md.
  • Impeachment integrity & citation discipline: enforces verbatim quotes and pinpoint citations from the record with explicit verification markers.
  • Privilege and distribution guardrails: runs a destination check to prevent accidental disclosure outside the privilege circle.

Quick Start

Ask for depo prep for a specific witness and indicate the deposition context (e.g., “depo prep for Alex Morgan in our [matter slug]”), and the Skill will produce a deposition outline with background, topics tied to the theory, and impeachment-ready confrontation material.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a deposition outline from eDiscovery records?

Build a deposition outline by extracting eDiscovery records authored by or mentioning the witness, organizing hot documents by date, and mapping them to your case theory to structure topics, background, and impeachment material.

How does case theory mapping work for witness preparation?

Case theory mapping organizes deposition topics by aligning extracted background, good facts, bad facts, and impeachment material from the eDiscovery record directly to the configured case theory to ensure structured questioning.

Can I use this for a corporate 30(b)(6) deposition outline?

Yes, deposition outline generation supports corporate 30(b)(6) postures alongside adverse, friendly, and neutral witness preparation scenarios across differing deposition rule regimes.

What is citation discipline in deposition preparation?

Citation discipline in deposition preparation requires verbatim quotes and pinpoint citations from the eDiscovery record, enforcing impeachment integrity with explicit verification markers to prevent misquoting.

How do privilege guardrails prevent accidental disclosure during witness prep?

Privilege guardrails run a destination check during deposition outline generation to prevent accidental disclosure of sensitive record material outside the configured privilege circle.

What is a pivot-fact question sequence in a deposition outline?

A pivot-fact question sequence is a tightly ordered set of questions in a deposition outline that transitions from background and bad facts into impeachment material aligned with the overall case theory.
