Manually creating narrative deposition summaries is exhausting and time-consuming, often requiring 4-6 hours per transcript. Attorneys and paralegals must read through hundreds of pages, identify key testimony, organize facts chronologically, and format everything into a coherent narrative—all while billing clients or managing other urgent case demands.
Reviewing hundreds of pages of deposition transcripts is time-consuming and expensive, often taking 8+ hours per deposition. Attorneys need to quickly identify key admissions, contradictions, and strategic opportunities without reading every page, but manual summarization pulls them away from higher-value case work.
CaseMark generates comprehensive narrative deposition summaries in minutes, not hours. Our AI transforms raw transcripts into polished, strategically organized documents with precise citations, credibility analysis, and impeachment opportunities—ready to download as PDF or DOCX immediately.
