Frequently asked questions

Q

What types of discovery documents can CaseMark summarize?

A

CaseMark analyzes all standard discovery materials including interrogatory responses, requests for production and their responses, requests for admission and answers, deposition transcripts, and documents produced in discovery. The AI can process multiple discovery types simultaneously and cross-reference information across different response types to identify patterns and inconsistencies.

Q

How does CaseMark handle citations and source attribution in discovery summaries?

A

Every factual assertion in CaseMark summaries includes specific citations to the source document, including response numbers, page numbers, and Bates stamps where available. This ensures your summary is court-ready and attorneys can quickly locate the underlying evidence. The AI maintains strict accuracy standards and attributes all information to its original source.

Q

Can CaseMark identify smoking gun documents and key admissions automatically?

A

Yes, CaseMark's AI is specifically trained to flag damaging admissions, inconsistencies with prior statements, smoking gun documents, and notable refusals to admit facts. The executive overview section highlights the most significant revelations and evidentiary gaps, allowing your legal team to immediately understand the discovery's impact on case strategy without reading hundreds of pages.

Q

Does the discovery summary identify objections and incomplete responses?

A

Absolutely. CaseMark tracks all objections raised by responding parties, particularly those preventing full disclosure of relevant information. The summary flags evasive or incomplete responses, identifies patterns in objections that may warrant a motion to compel, and creates a section on outstanding discovery issues requiring follow-up or court intervention.

Q

How long does it take to generate a comprehensive discovery summary?

A

CaseMark typically generates complete discovery summaries in 10-15 minutes, even for voluminous materials that would take attorneys 12+ hours to review manually. The AI processes multiple documents simultaneously, cross-references information, and organizes findings into a structured format with table of contents for easy navigation.
