Frequently asked questions

Q

What types of witness documents can CaseMark analyze?

A

CaseMark can process any witness-related document including deposition transcripts, witness statements, affidavits, sworn declarations, interview notes, and recorded testimony transcriptions. The system works with standard formats like PDF, Word documents, and text files, extracting relevant testimony regardless of document length or formatting.

Q

How does CaseMark identify credibility issues in witness statements?

A

CaseMark analyzes witness statements for credibility indicators including inconsistencies with other testimony, hedging language, certainty levels, internal contradictions, and corroboration gaps. The system flags qualifying statements like 'I think' or 'maybe,' notes changes in detail level across topics, and cross-references factual assertions against other witness accounts when multiple statements are uploaded.

Q

Can I compare multiple witness statements to find contradictions?

A

Yes, CaseMark can analyze multiple witness statements simultaneously to identify contradictions, corroborating testimony, and conflicting accounts of the same events. When processing multiple witnesses, the system organizes findings both by individual witness and by topic or chronology, making it easy to spot conflicts and patterns across all testimony.

Q

How much time does CaseMark save on witness statement preparation?

A

CaseMark reduces witness statement review from 3-4 hours per statement to approximately 8 minutes, a 95% time savings. This allows attorneys to process dozens of witness statements in the time it would traditionally take to review just one, while maintaining consistency and thoroughness that's difficult to achieve with manual review.

Q

What sections are included in a CaseMark witness statement summary?

A

Each summary includes an executive overview, witness background, chronological account of events, key factual assertions, evidentiary analysis, credibility assessment, admissibility concerns, contradictions and admissions, corroboration opportunities, recommended follow-up questions, and strategic implications. This structure ensures you have everything needed for deposition prep, cross-examination, or trial strategy development.
