CaseMark extracts dates, parties, and events directly from your uploaded documents with source attribution for every entry, ensuring accuracy and verifiability. The AI is trained on legal documents and understands litigation context, but we always recommend attorney review of the output. You maintain full control to edit, refine, or supplement the chronology as needed.

Absolutely. CaseMark Chronology is specifically designed for case intake scenarios where you need to quickly understand a potential matter's trajectory and key facts. Upload initial documents, correspondence, and contracts to generate an immediate overview that helps you assess case viability, identify early strategy opportunities, and provide informed consultations to clients.

Q

What types of cases work best with this chronology tool?

A

CaseMark Chronology works across all litigation types including commercial disputes, employment matters, personal injury, insurance claims, regulatory investigations, and transactional disputes. It's particularly valuable for complex cases with extensive document production, multiple parties, or long timelines spanning months or years where manual chronology creation would be extremely time-consuming.

Q

How does this help with trial preparation?

A

A comprehensive chronology is essential for trial preparation, helping you identify the strongest evidence, prepare witness examinations, and craft compelling narratives. CaseMark highlights pivotal moments, inconsistencies, and documentary evidence supporting your claims or defenses. The cross-referenced timeline helps you quickly locate supporting documents during depositions and trial, ensuring you're always prepared with the right evidence at the right moment.

Q

What happens if some dates in documents are unclear or missing?

A

CaseMark explicitly flags entries where dates are approximate, unclear, or inferred from context, ensuring transparency in the timeline. The analysis section identifies gaps where expected documentation is missing, helping you target discovery efforts. You can manually add or adjust dates as additional information becomes available, and the chronology serves as a living document throughout the case lifecycle.
