Deposition summary tools vs LawLM.
LawLM is deposition intelligence for litigators with heavy deposition dockets, plaintiff or defense: cited summaries plus Case Analysis, cited Q&A, cross-deposition, and Case Valuator.
SmartDepo, DISCO Cecilia, Newcase, and Sonix each win a slice of AI deposition summary work. LawLM is the suite on pay-per-use, not a summary-only tool.
Every claim carries a page-and-line cite. Click it and the transcript opens at that page, so you can verify the fact without hunting another file.
Free credits for four deposition packages, or mix with Q&A. No credit card.
We don’t train on your matters. Security

Cites

A cite in the summary still usually means you find the page in another copy of the transcript.
LawLM
Click the page-and-line cite. The transcript opens at that page, in the same screen, so you can read the words before you rely on the sentence.

If you already have a summary tool
Does a person review the summary before I get it?
No. SmartDepo sells a human-checked summary. We do not put a person on the summary before you see it. You get machine output with page-and-line cites, typically under 20 minutes. Click the cite and the transcript opens at that page. If you are not satisfied with the summary, we refund.
I have audio, not a transcript.
That is Sonix, or a court reporter. LawLM starts when the transcript exists. We do not replace the reporter, and we do not transcribe from audio.
The matter already lives in DISCO. Should I leave?
No. Stay in DISCO for the documents that already live there. Use LawLM when you want the deposition suite on the transcript without buying that platform: cited summary, Case Analysis, cited Q&A, cross-deposition, and Case Valuator.
