Every litigator knows the feeling: staying late re-reading the same forty-page production for the third time, hunting for the one sentence that reconciles two witnesses who cannot both be right. That work does not disappear with AI - but how much of the file is already organized by the time you sit down to do it changes completely.AI Litigation in 30 Minutes is a compact, practitioner-focused guide to bringing AI into a litigation workflow the way a careful, experienced litigator would: as an organizing tool that accelerates structure, never as a substitute for legal judgment, verification, or professional responsibility.The book is built around LITIGATE-AI, an original eight-step framework - Load, Identify, Timeline, Inventory, Generate, Attack-test, Trial-prep, Evaluate - that compresses the entire case-preparation sequence into a repeatable habit. Along the way, readers build: A structured Case Map that separates Known facts from Allegations, Inferences, and material still requiring verificationA living, seven-column Litigation Chronology, rebuilt every time a meaningful document landsAn Evidence Matrix that turns "something feels thin here" into a specific, actionable discovery requestAn eight-step Argument Builder (Issue→Rule→Authority→Facts→Application→Counterargument→Response→Conclusion) that never lets AI supply an unverified authorityA Five-Angle Stress Test - Facts, Law, Evidence, Procedure, Logic - that finds your case's weak points before opposing counsel doesWitness preparation and cross-examination tools that draw a hard, explicit line against improper coachingA consolidated, court-ready Hearing Pack, built from material that was already independently verifiedThe whole methodology is shown against a single realistic worked file - a commercial cold-chain breach-of-contract dispute - followed from intake through resolution, with a second shorter personal-injury file used where a contrasting example sharpens a technique.Eighteen appendices extend the book into a standing reference: 20 master prompts (each with a sample output and a common pitfall to avoid), 9 litigation checklists, an eight-point AI Verification Protocol, a glossary, an FAQ, a sample completed hearing pack, a firm-adoption guide with a 30-day rollout plan, a professional-conduct quick reference, a sample firm AI-use policy template, and more.Written for litigators, advocates, solicitors, barristers, litigation-support professionals, and trainees who already know how to run a case and want a disciplined way to bring AI into it - without ever losing sight of the fact that AI organizes a file; it does not decide it.
