This article is part of a series looking at the difference between legal AI and AI built for litigation. It looks at how disputes teams use Wexler before, during and after court.
Wexler supports disputes teams from early case assessment through to post trial analysis. It builds a structured factual record at the outset, keeps it current as evidence develops, and allows lawyers to test testimony against it in real time in court.
Build and test the record before trial
You can upload documents, witness statements and prior testimony into Wexler to create a single, source-linked chronology.
Each factual assertion is tied back to its source. This gives a clear view of what the record says happened and when, without relying on chronologies that fall out of date as the case develops.
As new material is added, the chronology updates. You can see immediately how new evidence affects the sequence of events.
As witnesses are prepared, you can test expected testimony against the record. Wexler shows where an account aligns with contemporaneous documents and prior statements, and where it does not. If a date shifts or a point is stated more strongly than the evidence supports, it is visible before testimony begins.
You can also compare multiple witnesses on the same events. Where accounts align, the record strengthens. Where they diverge, the risk becomes clear. These are often the points that will be tested in cross-examination.
Test testimony against the record during trial
Where rules allow, Wexler can be used once testimony begins.
Live transcripts can be brought into the same factual record as the rest of the evidence. What is said in court can be checked in real time against witness statements, documents and earlier testimony already in the case.
As evidence is given, you can see whether testimony aligns with the record or introduces inconsistencies. This allows teams to respond while the case is still live, shaping cross-examination, re-examination and witness sequencing.
Maintain a stable record throughout preparation
Trial preparation is iterative. Witness outlines change, new exhibits are introduced, and assumptions evolve.
You can continue adding material as preparation progresses. The factual record updates as new material is added, so your team works from a consistent, current view of the case.
Analyse the record after trial
The same structured record can be used after proceedings to review how the case unfolded.
Testimony, documents and outcomes sit within a single, source-linked framework. You can see where the factual record held, where it changed, and which points proved decisive.
This supports post-trial analysis, internal review and preparation for appeals or related matters, without reconstructing the case from scratch. It also allows you to answer client questions clearly, grounded in the record rather than retrospective interpretation.
Reduce surprises when it matters most
Most legal AI helps law firms produce work. Wexler helps them understand and test the case, from early assessment through to trial. In court, facts are tested in sequence, under pressure, and often for the first time in front of the decision-maker. The advantage lies with the team that has already tested them.
