Last day of trial and one final push for closing arguments.

Weeks of prep come down to this. Testimony, exhibits, and themes all get distilled into one final narrative for the court. We’re side by side with the attorneys shaping the closing argument outlines and working with our design team on the decks that bring it to life.

The last push is always the most important part.

Happy Fourth of July from Miami. Even with a full day (and night) of Zoom calls, there’s something great about wrapping up with fireworks lighting up the sky right outside my balcony. Grateful for work I enjoy and a front-row seat to the show. Hope everyone gets a moment to step away and soak in the holiday. 🇺🇸

Another day in paradise 🌴

Pura Vida Miami keeping me fueled while the work never stops. Holiday weekend or not, trials don’t take days off, and neither do we!

Sometimes you’re the one breaking down the courtroom because your crew is already three states over on another trial.

That’s the reality of running a busy practice. When you’ve got multiple cases running hot simultaneously, someone has to pack the gear, load the truck, and get the equipment back to the office. If your trial team is locked in on the next engagement, that someone is you.
It’s not glamorous work, but it’s the work that keeps the operation moving. Every monitor, receiver, and cable that gets properly stored and catalogued is one less thing that delays your next trial.

Your reputation doesn’t just rest on the quality of your presentations in the courtroom. It rests on showing up ready, on time, and with everything working. That starts with the fundamentals.

Running a tight litigation support operation means being willing to do any role on the team. That’s how you scale without sacrificing quality.

We’re doing some special stuff at LitOptix right now.

Across multiple cases, we’re deploying AI Litigation Consultants into the core strategy work. Analyzing case data at scale: transcripts, expert reports, filings, everything. Pattern recognition and strategic insights that would take weeks to surface manually.

The key difference: locally hosted LLMs. Client data stays secure. Privacy and confidentiality aren’t negotiable in litigation, so we built the infrastructure to guarantee it.
Then we take those insights and feed them into graphics and PowerPoint development. Instead of creating decks from scratch, we transform a case of raw information into polished presentations using the most efficient tools on the market and the most skilled prompt engineering strategies. When developing graphics with complex data, we utilize AI to simplify that information and explore different ways to compare data with one another. Multiple conceptual directions. Multiple iterations. All moving faster than the traditional workflow.

It’s not about AI replacing trial strategy. It’s about AI compressing the research and iteration cycle so the real work, the storytelling, the design, the strategy, can happen faster and sharper.

The technology is improving. The teams that learn to leverage it responsibly will separate from the pack.

One of the biggest challenges with AI in legal work has been citations. Accuracy, verifiability, and the now-infamous problem of models inventing cases that do not exist.

Thomson Reuters and Anthropic just announced a direct integration between Claude and CoCounsel Legal, with access to Westlaw, Practical Law, and KeyCite built in.

The pitch is straightforward. Lawyers can work in plain language and get back cited, traceable, verifiable work product instead of confident-sounding hallucinations.

That is a real shift. The sanctions cases of the past two years made one thing clear: the profession was never going to adopt AI that could not be trusted to source itself. This is the industry trying to answer that, at scale.
Worth paying attention to, whatever side of the AI question you sit on.
