Paralegals don't just support the deposition process. In most firms, they run it.

Document management, exhibit organization, transcript review — your desk sits at the center of the entire deposition lifecycle. AI has changed what's possible at every stage, and the paralegals who lean in are doing work that used to take a whole team.

In this session, Sierra Van Allen, Steno's Legal Solutions Manager and former Certified Paralegal, walked through how paralegals can use AI to work smarter at every stage of the deposition process.

 

Sierra also showed how Steno Connect and Transcript Genius fit into this workflow for firms already using Steno.

Whether you're new to AI tools or already using them daily, this session left attendees with prompts, frameworks, and techniques worth bringing back to the next case.
