Claude Cowork Plugin
⚖️Litigation Paralegal
Summarize depositions, build case timelines, draft motions, and manage discovery holds
The Litigation Paralegal plugin helps you handle the litigation-specific workflow that the rest of the awesome-legal-skills ecosystem skips: depositions, discovery, motion practice, and privilege review. Every command works standalone with your input — describe the matter and get a structured draft ready for the supervising attorney.
Use /deposition-summary to extract admissions, build a topical index, and flag impeachment material. Use /case-timeline to chronologize filings, discovery, and witness statements with gap analysis. Use /motion-draft to generate motion templates with citation slots and local-rule reminders. Use /discovery-hold to triage privilege, scope a litigation hold, and draft privilege-log entries.
The plugin's skills activate automatically when relevant: Legal Research Cite Finder pulls cases, statutes, and procedural rules with negative-treatment flags, plus Evidence Relevance Checker applies Federal Rules of Evidence to flag admissibility issues before deposition or trial.
Commands
Click a command to copy it. To run it in the Claude app, type it and pick it from the menu that appears; pasting it sends plain text instead of running it.
