How this was made

Method

Used Claude to generate an initial witness and exhibit list draft by extracting names and document references from the deposition transcript index, discovery response indexes, and case audit report; paralegal verified each witness's role and updated exhibit numbering to match the physical binder organization.

Human judgment points

  • Decided to include the CHP traffic collision report as Exhibit 2 rather than Exhibit 1 (after the medical records) to lead with the most impactful single document at trial rather than alphabetically or chronologically — a presentation strategy requiring trial experience
  • Chose to list the ELD vendor representative as a potential percipient witness rather than an expert, because the representative will testify to foundational facts about the data (not opinions), and listing them as expert would trigger a different disclosure deadline and fee arrangement
  • Determined not to list the unidentified bystander witnesses on the witness list at this stage pending investigator confirmation of their identities — omitting unconfirmed witnesses rather than listing them with placeholder names preserves credibility with the court

Time
