Litigators know the hours spent preparing for depositions can quickly add up—and even with extensive prep, it’s easy to miss a key inconsistency in the moment. That’s why 8am™ MyCase now integrates with Second Chair, a purpose-built deposition platform designed to help attorneys prepare faster, capture stronger testimony, and get instant insights once the deposition wraps.
With the MyCase and Second Chair integration, litigators can cut prep time by up to 80%, generate real-time transcripts and summaries, and track performance for team training—all from within their MyCase workflow.
Simplify deposition prep with AI
Deposition preparation is one of the most time-consuming tasks litigators face, often requiring two hours of prep for every one hour of testimony. Second Chair changes that.
Now, all the case documents you’ve stored in MyCase automatically sync with Second Chair to generate detailed deposition outlines—no manual setup required. The AI reviews pleadings, discovery responses, and exhibits to build a hyper-specific outline that’s ready to use in the deposition room.
When MyCase document organization works with Second Chair’s purpose-built AI, firms can focus on strategy, not paperwork.
Real-time intelligence during depositions
Once the deposition begins, Second Chair’s real-time listening capabilities come into play. As witnesses testify, the AI flags vague or inconsistent answers and suggests follow-up questions on the spot.
It also generates instant transcripts and concise summaries, so attorneys no longer have to wait on a court reporter to begin analysis. With ready-to-review transcripts and summaries, attorneys can move straight into analysis—capturing sharper testimony, faster insights, and the confidence to act on critical moments as they happen.
From testimony to training
After the deposition wraps, Second Chair automatically evaluates performance against your stated objectives. Through the integration with MyCase, these insights are tied directly to your case records—making it easy to review outcomes, share feedback, and build training materials for your team.
For litigation-heavy firms that hold multiple depositions a month, these analytics help standardize quality, identify strengths, and improve performance overall.
