Ready for the witness, and ready in the room.
Build examination questions and case theories before the hearing, then keep a running transcript on the day with alerts when testimony contradicts what is already on the file.

Before the hearing
Add a witness — with or without attaching a matter first — and generate examination and cross-examination questions from the documents and the chronology. Statements open in the same rich editor as drafting and save as you edit, so you can correct wording immediately.
Narratives let you build competing case theories side by side: your storyline, the other side's, the facts that support each, and the points that need strengthening. Lock one as the case you are running and keep the alternatives for comparison.
In the room
A quiet second pair of eyes: the transcript keeps running while contradictions and follow-ups surface beside it.
- You signed the delivery note on 14 March, correct?
- You never told the carrier about the change, did you?
- Put the email at Exhibit C to the witness
I never saw the delivery note that day.
Statement ¶9: “I signed the note on arrival.”
Put ¶9 of the witness statement to him now.
Ends with a hearing note you can open in Drafting.
On the day
Preparation that comes from the file
Questions and alerts are drawn from the matter's own documents and chronology, not from generic templates — which is also why case analysis and the document vault are worth running first.
Common questions
- What is in the Zealia trial toolkit?
- Witness preparation with question sets, examination and cross-examination planning, opening and closing statements, objection notes, and live-hearing assistance that transcribes proceedings and flags contradictions, admissions and objection points as they happen.
- Can I add a witness without opening a matter?
- Yes. Witnesses can be added directly in the trial toolkit and attached to a matter later.
- What happens to a generated statement?
- It is saved automatically and opens in the same full editor used for drafting, with formatting, fonts, versions and export.
- How does live hearing transcription bill?
- Transcription is charged on the speech actually recorded — silence is not billed — and hearing notes can be exported straight into drafting.
