AI Document Classification Assistant for CONTROLit™

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Element Standard Introduces AI Document Classification Assistant for CONTROLit™ at ABA TECHSHOW 2025
CHICAGO,IL – April 2, 2025 — Element Standard today announced a major enhancement to its CONTROLit™ litigation management platform: an AI-powered Document Classification Assistant. This new feature helps litigation case teams classify final case documents and link them to the appropriate case element and case action within the Litigation Cartography™ case map with greater speed, precision, and autonomy. The announcement was made at ABA TECHSHOW 2025, where legal technology leaders from across the country are exploring the next frontier in legal service delivery.
Building on the success of CONTROLit™, Element Standard’s newest capability leverages artificial intelligence to automate one of the most time-consuming and error-prone aspects of litigation—accurately classifying documents.
“Litigation teams are drowning in documents, and often get buried in the noise,” said Jaron Luttich, co-founder of Element Standard.“ Our new AI-driven classification assistant helps law firms move beyond manual tracking and guesswork—bringing structure to the daily complexity of litigation easier and faster than ever.”
A Multi-Layered AI Classification System Purpose-Built for Litigation
The Document Classification Assistant is engineered specifically for litigation teams, using a layered approach that combines large language models with human expertise. The system classifies litigation documents through several key stages:
• Document Processing – Extracts document text using optical character recognition (OCR) and prepares it for analysis through preprocessing.
• Expert-Guided Logic – Applies Litigation Cartography™ classification rules, developed and refined by litigation professionals.
• Legal Reasoning & Analysis – Leverages large language models and an up-to-date knowledge base to interpret legal context, identify document types, and extract critical information such as parties, dates, and filing details.
• Review & Quality Control – Enhances trust and transparency by highlighting AI-generated results with indicators and summaries to help identify potential errors or hallucinations.
This assistant integrates directly into CONTROLit™, making documents available in the Litigation Cartography™ process map. CONTROLit™ enables firms and clients to receive automated notifications, deadline alerts, and daily summaries of critical case updates without changing their workflows or billing practices.
Transforming Transparency and Organization
CONTROLit™ already provides law firms with a structured, transparent map of litigation called Litigation Cartography™ —complete with deadline tracking, event management, and client-facing summaries. The addition of this AI classification capability enhances CONTROLit’s ability to proactively surface what matters most—before anything falls through the cracks.
