The task and the problem
An interview outline may refer to a presentation whose slide numbers changed between versions. A remote antitrust interview exhibit locator reduces avoidable searching and preserves the context of counsel's selected material through exhibit preparation support and document review support for law firms. The ABA supervision model supports attorney direction of remote legal assistant work; it does not authorize independent witness examination.
What the firm supplies
Provide counsel's topic outline, approved exhibit set, document IDs, witness identifier, confidentiality instructions, and interview format. Counsel specifies who may attend and which copies may be shared. The assistant receives internal preparation access and an approved labeling convention so legal document management support stays aligned with the firm’s packet structure.
How the work moves
| Step | Input | Assistant action | Output | Attorney review |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Topic outline | Preserve counsel's sequence and labels | Topic skeleton | Approve topic selection |
| 2 | Selected documents | Link original IDs and exact pages | Exhibit locator | Resolve relevance questions |
| 3 | Family information | Check referenced attachments and versions | Missing-context list | Decide replacements |
| 4 | Approved exhibit order | Apply temporary internal exhibit labels | Interview packet | Approve sharing scope |
| 5 | Final source check | Open every link and reconcile pagination | Ready-for-review index | Direct interview and release |
Illustrative example
Fictional matter Beacon uses three internal topics. The labels do not imply any witness has adopted the documents' contents.
| Topic | Source locator | Internal label | Exception |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product launch | BC011 slide 8 | I-01 | Outline says slide 7 |
| Customer discussion | BC024 page 2 | I-02 | Referenced attachment missing |
| Forecast revision | BC030 worksheet Plan | I-03 | Workbook version confirmed |
The assistant updates a locator only after resolving which presentation counsel selected. Missing BC024 context is flagged before anyone distributes the packet.
Deliverables, missing information, and escalation
Deliver the locator, approved exhibit bundle, missing-context list, and pagination check. Acceptance requires every topic reference to reach the selected original and every unavailable item to remain marked in the remote antitrust interview exhibit locator. Escalate new privileged material, inconsistent author metadata, translation needs, and requests to send documents beyond approved recipients. Do not draft suggested testimony or treat authorship as proof that a witness knew a document's contents.
Systems and responsible AI use
Use only firm-approved systems and restrict confidential or privileged information to approved recipients and approved AI environments. Use bookmarked PDFs, stable source links, and restricted shared folders. Approved text extraction may aid navigation, but check slide and worksheet references manually. AI must not infer witness intent or supply interview answers. No autonomous communications, filings, or legal-date calculations are part of this task.
What the firm could measure
- Per packet, topic references that resolve to the selected document and page divided by all references checked; source: navigation checklist.
- Count of exhibit substitutions after counsel's review, classified by wrong version, missing context, or changed selection; source: packet history.
Practical questions
Should internal labels replace Bates numbers?
No. Keep both so temporary interview labels remain traceable. This lets counsel trace later interview notes back to the original source even if exhibit order changes.
Can public materials be added independently?
Put suggested sources in a separate review queue; counsel selects interview exhibits. Keep unselected suggestions out of the distribution packet until a reviewer approves them.
Is this a required agency format?
No. The FTC model request supplies investigation context only; this locator is an illustrative internal aid. The actual interview instructions and approved exhibit list determine this packet’s contents.
