1. What is a primary function of AI when used for trial exhibit preparation?

   1. Predicting how a specific jury will interpret each exhibit
   2. Deciding which exhibits should be admitted into evidence
   3. Drafting connecting narrative prose that ties each exhibit to the overall case theory
   4. Replacing the trial lawyer's role in storytelling to the jury

2. Which of the following represents a limitation of AI in trial preparation?

   1. Suggesting sequencing that builds a coherent story
   2. Determining what evidence gets admitted to trial
   3. Drafting 1-paragraph narratives per exhibit
   4. Flagging exhibits that don't clearly support the case theory

3. Why should AI-drafted exhibit narratives be treated as protected work product?

   1. Because federal law explicitly protects all AI-generated content
   2. Because they contain attorney mental impressions and case strategy
   3. Because the AI system owns the copyright to the drafts
   4. Because opposing counsel might use them to predict trial strategy

4. If AI flags an exhibit as not clearly supporting the case theory, what should the attorney do?

   1. Ask the AI to make the final admission decision
   2. Replace the exhibit with one the AI approves
   3. Decide whether to remove it, reframe it, or supplement it with supporting evidence
   4. Automatically exclude the exhibit from the trial

5. In the context of trial exhibits, what does 'sequencing' refer to?

   1. The process of numbering exhibits for trial
   2. The arrangement of exhibits to build a coherent narrative story
   3. The order in which exhibits are listed in a discovery request
   4. The timeline of when each exhibit was created

6. Why can't AI replace trial lawyer storytelling?

   1. Because AI lacks access to the case files
   2. Because AI-generated stories are too short
   3. Because storytelling requires human judgment, emotional appeal, and understanding of jury psychology
   4. Because attorneys are required by law to tell their own stories

7. What is the risk of pasting AI-drafted narratives into discovery responses or shared drives?

   1. They may be rejected by the court
   2. They may not be grammatically correct
   3. The AI might lose access to the documents
   4. They could become discoverable and reveal case strategy

8. What is the purpose of a 'why-this-exhibit-matters' paragraph for each trial exhibit?

   1. To fulfill the requirements of the Federal Rules of Evidence
   2. To connect the exhibit to the case theory and help the jury understand its significance
   3. To meet the court's filing requirements
   4. To explain to the judge why the exhibit is authentic

9. Who makes the final decision about which exhibits get admitted at trial?

   1. The judge after ruling on objections
   2. The AI system being used for preparation
   3. The opposing counsel through stipulations
   4. The jury based on what they find persuasive

10. How does AI help surface exhibits that don't clearly support the case theory?

    1. By asking the opposing counsel for clarification
    2. By flagging them so the attorney can evaluate their relevance
    3. By rewriting the exhibits to make them supportive
    4. By automatically removing them from the exhibit list

11. What distinguishes effective exhibit narratives from mere descriptions of exhibit content?

    1. The use of legal terminology
    2. The length of the paragraph
    3. The inclusion of witness names
    4. The connection to case theory and relevance to the case story

12. Why must attorneys review and revise AI-drafted narratives rather than using them as-is?

    1. Because attorneys must ensure accuracy, appropriate tone, and alignment with case strategy
    2. Because the court requires attorney signatures on all filings
    3. Because AI-generated content cannot be used in court
    4. Because AI drafts contain factual errors that must be corrected

13. What is the relationship between case theory and individual exhibit narratives?

    1. Each narrative should tie back to and support the overall case theory
    2. Case theory replaces the need for individual narratives
    3. Case theory and narratives are unrelated documents
    4. Narratives are used to develop the case theory after trial

14. When AI suggests sequencing for trial exhibits, what is the goal?

    1. To match the opposing counsel's exhibit order
    2. To put the oldest exhibits first
    3. To make the exhibit list alphabetically organized
    4. To build a coherent story that supports case theory

15. Under the work product doctrine, what is protected regarding AI-drafted narratives?

    1. The attorney's mental impressions and litigation strategy reflected in the narratives
    2. The client's personal information
    3. The factual content of the exhibits themselves
    4. The AI system's algorithm
