How AI Navigates the High-Stakes Nuance of Litigation
Key Takeaways
- AI accelerates litigation prep by processing thousands of documents, identifying inconsistencies, and surfacing key facts
- Deposition preparation improves when AI flags contradictions, generates targeted questions, and organizes witness statements
- Discovery becomes manageable with AI-powered document review, privilege detection, and relevance scoring
- Human judgment remains essential: AI surfaces the material; attorneys decide what to do with it

"While AI may be able to replicate analytic frameworks used in moral reasoning... the task of judgment ultimately falls to humans." — David G. Yosifon, Santa Clara University School of Law
AI doesn't replace the judgment that wins cases. It handles the volume problem so attorneys can focus on strategy, argument, and advocacy—the work that actually requires human expertise.
