## The Problem

Criminal Defense 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.

## Westlaw Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Westlaw configuration.** We map the specific Westlaw objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your criminal defense practice.
2. **Build on the Westlaw API or agent.** Integration happens inside Westlaw — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Westlaw with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
