Artificial Lawyer recently highlighted AltaClaro's latest innovation, DepoSim, an AI-powered deposition simulator launched in partnership with verbal intelligence leader Verbit. The article explores how law firms are grappling with a critical challenge: how to train lawyers as AI takes on more routine work, leaving fewer opportunities for hands-on skill development.
DepoSim offers a groundbreaking solution. Using AI agents that serve as witnesses, opposing counsel, and court reporters, the simulator provides attorneys with unlimited opportunities to practice conducting oral depositions in realistic litigation scenarios, complete with detailed, actionable feedback based on standardized training rubrics.
As AltaClaro Founder & CEO Abdi Shayesteh explains, "DepoSim is the high fidelity, high stakes flight simulator that turns a knowledgeable attorney into a truly competent and practiced advocate. It fills a crucial gap that traditional, costly, and infrequent deposition training models simply cannot address."
If you're a law firm partner or leader in legal talent development, this is the future of attorney training: scalable, repeatable, and designed to build the essential human-to-human communication skills that can never be automated.
