Can AI Draft Discovery Requests?
SummaryAI, from the source post

This post details the technical approach to grounding AI-drafted discovery requests. It outlines the 'Four Anchors' (operative pleadings, client's facts/documents, governing rules/proportionality, prior surviving requests) that ensure defensibility. It also discusses the implications of Rule 26(g) certification, emphasizing the need for 'reasonable inquiry' and attorney verification. The post highlights how Harvey's platform facilitates this grounding by connecting to client documents (Vault), prior requests (Playbooks/Knowledge), and integrating with workflows within Microsoft Word, enabling agents to plan tasks and return cited drafts.
