Nothing in the Record You Haven’t Seen
Draft outlines, identify exhibits, conduct depositions, and analyze transcripts while keeping the entire case record at your fingertips.
Master the Record Sooner
Prep is a race against the record. With limited time and an overwhelming volume of documents, missing a key detail is a risk you can’t afford.
Everlaw’s Storybuilder solves this by keeping your outline and the case record side-by-side. Pull a document in once, and it stays perfectly aligned with your exhibits, key facts, and every transcript in the matter.
We were able to go through and find the records that showed the deponent had lied...Once there was a short break for recess, he could come back and hit the deponent with exactly the information that was damning.

Before, During, and After Depositions
Draft Outlines Based in Evidence
Draft your own questions or let Writing Assistant generate evidence-based drafts with direct citations. Any Bates number you enter instantly becomes a live link. You can also type a citation from previous depositions that automatically links to that transcript, keeping prior admissions at your fingertips.
Identify and Assemble Exhibits
Your exhibit set builds itself as you write your outline. Filter your documents to track exactly what you have—and haven’t—referenced, guaranteeing nothing gets left behind. Then, export your outline as a single PDF with all exhibits embedded so you are fully prepped the moment you walk into the room.
Respond in Real Time, Without Giving a Tell
Ensure your strategy survives the first evasive answer. Your team can chat with you securely or drop new questions directly into the live outline you’re reading from. By eliminating sticky notes and the need to toggle to external apps like Teams, you never signal to the deponent that your team just caught a discrepancy. Plus, with the built-in timer running, every message and note is automatically timestamped.
Interrogate Transcripts
By the eighth deposition, you might remember what was said, but not who said it. Instead of opening transcripts one by one, run a single search—or ask in plain language—to scan testimony across the entire matter. Everlaw returns the exact text snippets, surrounding context, and synced video, all neatly grouped by deposition and ordered sequentially in one view. Every on-the-record admission is one less fact you have to prove.
Analyze the Transcript Faster Than You Can Read It
Walk into your next deposition knowing exactly what the last one uncovered. Instantly generate a deponent background, topic-based summary, exhibit overview, or discrepancy analysis. Every insight is backed by exact page and line citations tailored to your format.
