Frequently asked questions

How can I use Cecilia to analyze case documents?

Cecilia Q&A is legal case analysis software that lets you analyze your case by interrogating case evidence and documents in a Q&A format. This process allows you to replace constructing complex search queries with asking direct questions and getting answers in seconds.

  • Ask a question in plain English about a concept, custodian, or claim.
  • Receive a direct answer based on the information within your database.
  • Review the answer's citations, which link to the underlying source documents and highlight the relevant passages that support the response.

How can I use Cecilia to find relevant documents ?

Legal teams can use Cecilia Q&A to find relevant documents by asking direct questions instead of constructing complex keyword searches. This approach helps you pinpoint the best documents for your case faster and can uncover critical evidence that keyword searches might have missed.

  • Receive a cited answer: Cecilia provides a direct answer to your question using only the information in your database, along with citations to the specific documents that support the answer.

How can I use Cecilia to get answers about a specific set of documents?

You can get answers from a specific set of documents by using Cecilia Q&A's scoping feature. This allows lawyers, paralegals, and other legal professionals to control exactly which documents Cecilia considers when generating an answer.

  • Create a document set: First, define the subset of documents you want to question. You can narrow the focus to documents from specific custodians, date ranges, or the results from a previous search.
  • Scope Cecilia to your set: Apply the scope so that Cecilia Q&A will only consider information from within your selected documents.
  • Ask your question: Ask your question in plain language. Cecilia will provide an answer drawn exclusively from the information in your defined subset.

How do evidence citations work in Cecilia Q&A?

For every answer it generates, Cecilia Q&A provides direct citations to the source documents within your database that it used to formulate the response.

  • Cited sources: Cecilia provides a list of the source documents that back up its answer.
  • Direct access: You can instantly review the source documents directly from the answer interface.
  • Highlighted passages: When you view a cited document, Cecilia shows the exact, highlighted passages that support the response, allowing for quick and easy verification.
