Turn witness notes into briefs with AI, for lawyers
Typed notes from witness interviews sit in folders until someone finds hours to sort them into order. AI reads through the raw text, builds a factual timeline, and drafts a clean foundation for the trial binder.
What to gather first
- Raw witness interview notes and transcripts
- Police incident report text
- A past brief for outline style

For this one, a plain AI chat window is enough. Open the chat, paste what you gathered, and type the message below.
How to do it
- Paste the raw interview text. Copy the rough interview notes straight into the chat. Include any date or location markers from the file. AI reads through the notes line by line.
- Ask for an event timeline. Tell AI to place every stated event into a plain sequence of dates and times. It pulls out who saw what and notes any gaps in the sequence. It leaves out commentary or speculation.
- Draft the statement of facts. Ask AI to take that timeline and draft a standard factual background section. It mirrors the structure of your office's past filings. You get a draft ready for your review.
- List missing details for prep. Have AI list contradictory statements or dates that do not match across witnesses. It gives you a trial prep checklist for your next round of questions. You read through and select what matters for the case.
What to type first
I pasted my raw witness notes and the basic police report. Draft a chronological statement of facts based only on what is in this text. Then, list any conflicting statements between witnesses as a checklist for trial prep. Do not add outside facts, do not guess, and do not write legal arguments.
Change the words to match your business. AI follows what you say, so say what done looks like.
Before you trust it
- Check that every event listed matches the date and time from the original interview notes.
- Make sure AI did not blend what two different witnesses reported about the same moment.
- Verify that the names, locations, and direct quotes remain exact before filing.
Try pasting cross-examination notes to build an impeachment checklist for the next trial.
