Building a case chronology that holds up from discovery through trial, hearing, or arbitration

How do you build a case chronology that holds up through trial?

Case chronologies are critical — and often-neglected — tools for defining a winning case narrative early in the discovery process. The chronology should be a living document, started during review and strengthened with every deposition, production, and key exhibit, never a last-minute scramble before trial. This recorded webcast walks through how to build a chronology that holds up across the full arc of litigation, from the first document review pass to the final witness prep session. For a broader framework that covers chronology-building alongside the rest of trial prep, see our Trial Preparation eDiscovery Checklist.

You’ll learn how to:

• Structure your chronology from day one to avoid costly rebuilds later
• Integrate document review findings directly into your developing timeline
• Keep your chronology current through depositions and supplemental productions
• Use the chronology to prepare witnesses and spot gaps before opposing counsel does
• Organize key exhibits around the narrative so the story is trial-ready
• Collaborate across your legal team without version control chaos
