Deposition Summary Generation for Litigation Paralegals with Westlaw
Run deposition summary generation on autopilot inside Westlaw.
The Problem
Civil Litigation cases generate 200-page deposition transcripts that associates summarize by hand — each summary burns 4–6 billable hours the client won't pay for in full.
What We Build in Westlaw
AI ingests the transcript, produces a page-line summary with topic tags and exhibit cross-references, and flags contradictions across witnesses — associate produces a defensible summary in 30 minutes. Purpose-built for teams running Westlaw — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Westlaw with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
