Frequently Asked Questions

What documents should be flagged as privileged?

Flag attorney-client communications, work product created by or at direction of attorneys, and litigation strategy documents. When in doubt, discuss with supervising attorney before releasing in discovery.

Can I use AI to summarize deposition transcripts?

Yes, AI tools excel at extracting key points, contradictions, and important admissions from transcripts. Always review AI summaries carefully—they should supplement, not replace, attorney analysis.

Create a spreadsheet with: request number, description, due date, assigned paralegal, status (pending/completed/withheld), and notes. Use this to ensure timely responses and privilege compliance.
