SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns an incoming subpoena, CID, or related document request into an organized triage: classification, scope/burden/privilege analysis, an objections framework, and a compliance plan with a deadline calendar.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Subpoena classification: Identifies the subpoena type (e.g., third-party documents, deposition, party discovery, CID, grand jury) to determine the right posture and next steps.
  • Operational deadline planning: Extracts response/objection/production dates and converts them into a concrete deadline calendar for immediate action.
  • Objections and compliance outputs: Produces an objection framework (by category and strength) plus a likely production and privilege-log oriented compliance plan.
  • Portfolio cross-check: Checks whether party subpoenas map to existing matters in the local log for routing consistency.

Quick Start

Run subpoena-triage on your served document by providing the file path and an optional slug to generate triage output and routing decisions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage a served subpoena to determine response deadlines and objections?

Subpoena triage classifies the served document, analyzes scope, burden, and privilege, then outputs an objections framework and compliance plan with a concrete deadline calendar for immediate action.

What is the best way to build an objections framework for a CID or third-party document request?

An objections framework is built by analyzing the subpoena's scope and burden to categorize objections by strength, which outputs a structured plan guiding production and privilege-log compliance.

How do I extract and organize compliance deadlines from a civil investigative demand?

Compliance deadlines from a civil investigative demand are extracted by identifying response, objection, and production dates, converting them into a structured deadline calendar for immediate posture assessment.

Can I cross-check a party subpoena against existing matter logs for routing consistency?

Yes, party subpoenas can be cross-checked against existing matters by loading configured local matter logs, mapping the request to known cases for consistent portfolio routing.

How are grand-jury requests handled during subpoena classification and triage?

Grand-jury requests are escalated during the triage process, ensuring specialized posture assessment and routing rather than treating them as standard third-party document requests.

Does subpoena triage require a specific file path to process incoming legal documents?

Subpoena triage requires reading the served subpoena from a provided file path, loading local legal references and matter logs, and writing triage results into a configured inbound output location.
