The premise
Doc review is the most expensive part of litigation. AI can first-pass triage relevance reliably — but the privilege and hot-doc calls still need humans.
What AI does well here
- Score documents by relevance to defined issues
- Flag potential privilege candidates for human review
- Cluster similar documents for batch handling
- Draft summary memos for hot documents
What AI cannot do
- Make the final privilege call
- Spot subtle hot documents requiring case context
- Replace the second-pass attorney review
- Verify chain of custody
