Reading the record is your job.How you read the record is our job.

AdLitem turns a folder of case discovery — reports, transcripts, evaluations, hearing notes — into a navigable trial binder, a verified fact timeline, and a chat interface you can cross-examine. Every fact links to its exact source page. Nothing gets asserted that hasn't been checked.Your files never leave your computer. No AdLitem servers. No telemetry. Built by a practicing trial attorney.

Confidential by Design

You're right to be suspicious of AI tools asking for your case file

If you've held off on AI-assisted discovery review because you're not willing to send a client's abuse allegations, a psych evaluation, or a custody file to someone else's server — that instinct isn't paranoia. It's Rule 1.6, and it's the ABA's own read on this exact category of tool:Formal Opinion 512 warns that generative AI tools can disclose representation-related information to people outside the firm who were never part of the case.Here's what AdLitem does instead:

  • Your PDFs never leave your machine. They're read and processed locally — not uploaded to AdLitem, not uploaded anywhere.

  • Only extracted text is sent for AI analysis — not your documents — and it goes to a cloud account you own, under your own credentials.

  • AdLitem never sees it, never stores it, and has no server where it could be breached, subpoenaed, or leaked. There's nothing to compromise because there's nothing to hold.

  • Nothing trains a model. No telemetry, no analytics on case content, no exceptions.

  • Where processing happens is disclosed, not a black box — useful when a court, agency contract, or funding source asks.

This isn't a compliance badge bolted onto a sales pitch. The architecture is cross-checked against Model Rules 1.1, 1.6, 5.1, and 5.3, and against ABA Formal Opinions 477R (cybersecurity), 498 (virtual practice), and 512 (generative AI) — because it had to clear those before it could do anything else.

Cases Evolve. And so should you.

What happens when you drop in a case file?

  • Point it at the folder. Give AdLitem your case PDFs — DCP&P/DCFS reports, evaluations, transcripts, whatever you have. It reads everything and builds the structure the case actually has — a chronological timeline, a witness and exhibit map, where each party's position moved, and where the file contradicts itself.

  • Every fact is sourced. Click any claim in the binder and it takes you to the exact page — no "trust the AI."

  • Ask it anything. "What did the caseworker say about the last home visit?" — you get the quote and the page, checked against the source text before you ever see it, not generated and hoped for.

What you get:

  • Trial Binder — the case, organized, every claim clickable to source

  • Evidence Dashboard — fact collisions, exhibit/witness map, timeline

  • Ask the Case — a chat interface to your own discovery, source-verified

  • Proof Matrix — evidence mapped to the statutory elements you have to prove.

  • Service Chart — reasonable-efforts tracking, prong by prong

  • Bates Ledger— append-only, with optional stamping
