How NexLaw’s Case Chronology Feature Works
Our AI-powered chronology builder reads your case files the way a senior attorney would —
but 100x faster.
1
Upload Your Documents
Drag and drop depositions, medical records, police reports, emails, or any PDF. Our OCR handles scanned documents too. You can summarize discovery documents before adding them to your timeline for maximum efficiency.
2
AI Extracts Key Events
NexLaw’s legal AI identifies dates, parties, actions, and facts. It understands legal context — not just keywords.
3
Export Your Timeline
Receive organized analysis with extracted terms, identified risks, clause categorization, and obligation summaries in an easy-to-navigate interface.
Why Firms Choose NexLaw for Case Chronologies
10x Faster Than Manual Methods
What used to take 2-3 days now takes 20 minutes. Free up your team to focus on strategy, not data entry.
Never Miss a Critical Date
Our AI catches events human eyes skip. It cross-references multiple documents to ensure completeness.
Trial-Ready Formatting
Export chronologies formatted exactly how judges and juries expect to see them — with page/line citations included.
Update in Real-Time
New deposition comes in? Upload it, and we’ll automatically integrate new facts into your existing timeline.
Built for Collaboration
Multiple attorneys can annotate, filter, and refine the same timeline. Changes sync instantly across your team.
Secure & Confidential
Your case files never train our AI. SOC 2 Type II certified with end-to-end encryption and role-based access controls.
What Makes NexLaw’s Chronology Builder Different
Multi-Document Intelligence
Unlike basic timeline tools, NexLaw reads across multiple documents simultaneously to build a unified narrative. Upload 50 depositions, 200 medical records, and 100 emails — we’ll organize them into one coherent timeline.
Legal Context Understanding
Our AI knows the difference between a “motion filed on” date and a “motion hearing” date. It understands medical terminology in personal injury cases and financial jargon in commercial litigation.
Smart Citation Tracking
Every entry includes automatic source citations (e.g., “Deposition of John Doe, p. 47, ln. 12-15”). No more hunting for where you found that fact.
Customizable Views
- Filter by:
- Date range
- Document type (deposition, medical, discovery)
- Event category (medical treatment, contract breach, witness statement)
Export Flexibility
- Microsoft Word tables
- PDF reports
