Legal: Litigation Chronology Assembly with Claude Code: Human Review Queue
A production playbook for litigation chronology assembly in legal operations using Claude Code: human review queue, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Litigation teams preparing case timelines
The problem
Litigation teams preparing case timelines need litigation chronology assembly to run repeatedly against pleadings, discovery exports, emails, deposition notes, and evidence folders. In legal operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Split the litigation chronology assembly result into automatable fields and review-only exceptions, then send low-confidence cases to a human queue with evidence artifacts attached.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
Human review slows a subset of runs, but it lets the workflow ship before every edge case is fully automated. For litigation chronology assembly, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
