Legal Review Teams need more than a block of plausible text. Their accountable starting point is to preserve the original hearing, deposition, or consultation recording and its custody record. The useful destination is review drafts, issue indexes, timecoded notes, and counsel work product, and the review plan must explicitly address privilege, jurisdictional recording rules, names, dates, exhibits, and the difference between an AI draft and a certified transcript.

Decision signals

  • Prepare the source: preserve the original hearing, deposition, or consultation recording and its custody record.
  • Deliver useful artifacts: review drafts, issue indexes, timecoded notes, and counsel work product.
  • Set the review rule: use qualified human review and required certification processes for any filing or evidentiary use.

Start with an accountable source

Before processing, preserve the original hearing, deposition, or consultation recording and its custody record. Record who may access the source, how long it should be retained, and which downstream uses were actually authorized.

Review the evidence, not just the prose

Correct the transcript while listening to the recording. Pay special attention to privilege, jurisdictional recording rules, names, dates, exhibits, and the difference between an AI draft and a certified transcript. Keep machine suggestions visibly separate until a person accepts them.

Hand off a controlled result

Build review drafts, issue indexes, timecoded notes, and counsel work product. For final quality, use qualified human review and required certification processes for any filing or evidentiary use. Export a stable approved copy so later revisions or product changes do not erase the decision record.

Boundaries to keep visible

  • Automated output is a review draft: privilege, jurisdictional recording rules, names, dates, exhibits, and the difference between an AI draft and a certified transcript.
  • Recording rights, notice, consent, confidentiality, retention, and accessibility duties depend on the organization and jurisdiction; the product does not make that decision for the user.
