Document review is one of the highest-cost activities in litigation. AI reduces the burden.
AI-assisted review workflow:
- Identify the key issues and keywords relevant to the case
- Paste document batches into AI with prompt: ‘Review these documents for relevance to [issue]. Flag documents that mention [key terms]. Summarize the most relevant findings.’
- Focus human review on AI-flagged documents
Privilege review: ‘Review these documents and identify any that appear to be attorney-client communications or work product that may be privileged.’
Important: AI document review is a first-pass tool to prioritize human review, not a replacement for it. Privilege determinations require attorney judgment.
