Discovery Workflow

Streamline your discovery review with Second Seat.

1. Upload All Discovery Materials

Start by uploading everything you receive:

  • Police reports and supplements
  • Witness statements
  • Lab reports and forensic analysis
  • Surveillance footage transcripts
  • 911 calls and radio transmissions

2. Initial Review Queries

Ask broad questions to understand the case:

  • "Summarize the prosecution's theory of the case"
  • "What are the key facts in dispute?"
  • "List all witnesses mentioned in the discovery"

3. Deep Dive Analysis

Focus on specific issues:

  • "What inconsistencies exist in the witness statements?"
  • "Identify any chain of custody issues with the evidence"
  • "Find all references to my client's statements"

4. Motion Preparation

Use queries to support motions:

  • "Find evidence supporting a suppression motion"
  • "What Brady material should have been disclosed?"

Tracking Your Progress

Create notes in the case to track:

  • Issues identified
  • Follow-up needed
  • Motion opportunities
