AI agent for judges
Settlement Conference Preparation Agent
A prep sheet showing positions, gaps and questions for each side
What it does
Settlement conferences go better when the judge or mediator knows where the real gaps are. Before a conference, this agent reads the confidential settlement statements, pleadings and key rulings. It lists claims, defenses, damages claimed, offers made and each side's stated risks. It estimates a range of outcomes from the issues and the law and marks any gap over 50 percent of the demand as a focus area. It then checks each number against its source. When totals differ between documents, it flags the inconsistency and checks again. It notes when a side relies on a claim already dismissed. It drafts questions to explore with each side. The judge or mediator decides how to use the prep sheet and runs the session. Edge case: one side's statement relies on a claim already dismissed, which the agent notes.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
