In Above the Law, Joe Patrice wrote about DepoSim after a hands-on demonstration of the platform, offering a firsthand look at how the AI-powered simulator performs in practice.
Developed through the partnership between AltaClaro and Verbit, DepoSim enables attorneys to run full simulated depositions in a realistic, controlled environment with AI agents acting as the witness, opposing counsel, and court reporter.
Drawing on that experience, Patrice described how DepoSim enables attorneys to conduct full simulated depositions with AI agents serving as the witness, opposing counsel, and court reporter.
His assessment:
"[S]itting down with DepoSim felt like a blast from the past… the AI witness responds quickly and realistically and the opposing counsel threw in suitably annoying objections.”
The article highlighted the platform’s ability to support repeatable, on-demand practice, with adjustable witness and opposing counsel behavior, transcript generation, and structured feedback reports evaluating performance.
Patrice also pointed to the broader value of the tool for both junior and experienced attorneys, noting its role in addressing the logistical and cost constraints of traditional deposition training.
The piece referenced results from the Early Adopter Program, where six firms logged more than 160 hours on the platform. In post-program surveys, 97% strongly agreed it is valuable for litigation training, and 94% indicated they would use it again.
