How AI is used
Index this person's treatment, wage and product records against questions the lawyer has written. The tool writes no part of the letter and no part of the report. This is one person's causation, not the common questions in the Part 4A proceeding.
What the lawyer must review
  • Write the letter of instruction. The questions are yours.
  • Verify the letter yourself. SC GEN 25 calls for particular caution with expert reports.
  • Do not use the class data set as this person's history.
  • Keep the records in a firm-controlled tool.
