Discovery response

Discovery produces hundreds of pages of interrogatory responses, document productions, and deposition transcripts that overwhelm legal teams. Manually reviewing, organizing, and cross-referencing these materials takes days of attorney time, delaying case strategy and increasing costs while critical admissions and gaps remain buried in the documents.

Frequently asked questions

Q

How does CaseMark organize discovery responses differently than manual review?

A

CaseMark automatically groups discovery responses by legal issue and theme rather than just listing them numerically. This means all responses related to damages, liability, or specific defenses are organized together, allowing you to quickly understand what evidence exists for each aspect of your case. The AI cross-references interrogatory answers with document productions and deposition testimony to highlight consistencies and contradictions that would take hours to identify manually.

Q

Can CaseMark identify deficient or evasive discovery responses?

A

Yes, CaseMark analyzes responses for common deficiencies including overly general answers, boilerplate objections without substantive responses, and evasive language. The summary flags these issues and identifies specific responses that may warrant a motion to compel. This helps you quickly determine where follow-up discovery or motion practice is needed without reading every page of responses.

Q

What types of discovery documents can I upload to CaseMark?

A

You can upload interrogatory responses, answers to requests for production, responses to requests for admission, deposition transcripts, privilege logs, and supporting documents in PDF, DOCX, or TXT format. CaseMark works with discovery from any jurisdiction and automatically adapts to different discovery formats and numbering systems.

Q

How does the discovery gap analysis work?

A

CaseMark compares the discovery responses received against the elements of your claims and defenses to identify what information is still needed. The output includes a prioritized list of recommended follow-up interrogatories, document requests, and depositions based on unanswered questions and incomplete responses. This ensures you don't miss critical discovery before the deadline closes.

Q

Is the discovery summary suitable for sharing with senior attorneys or clients?

A

Absolutely. CaseMark generates a professional legal memorandum formatted with clear sections, executive summary, and proper citations to specific discovery responses. The summary is comprehensive enough to serve as the primary reference document throughout litigation while being concise enough for senior attorneys to quickly grasp key findings and strategic implications.
