SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns case theory, witness information, and eDiscovery records into a focused deposition plan while preventing unsupported quotations, unverified legal authorities, and work on matters that have not passed the conflicts-intake gate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Matter and conflicts validation: Checks the litigation matter log before proceeding and routes unintaken matters to the required intake workflow.
  • Witness-centered preparation: Identifies the witness's role and posture, then adapts questioning for adverse, friendly, neutral, or corporate representative witnesses.
  • Evidence and impeachment organization: Pulls relevant witness documents, organizes them by date and case theory, develops pivot-fact sequences, and flags prior inconsistent statements and citation gaps.
  • Use Case: Prepare a privileged outline for an adverse witness by connecting authored and received documents to the case theory, organizing exhibits, and drafting tight question sequences supported by verified record citations.

Quick Start

Use the deposition-prep skill to prepare a deposition outline for the specified witness after checking the matter intake log and gathering the relevant case documents.
