Frequently Asked Questions
StoryBar Coach is an AI-powered narrative tool built exclusively for litigators, grounded in the cognitive science and neuroscience of how people process, retain, and believe stories. It helps you integrate your chosen story throughout your case -- from the broadest themes to the most granular arguments -- ensuring clarity, coherence, and consistency at every stage. Every feature maps directly to the science of persuasion, not to legal research or document drafting. StoryBar Coach does not give legal advice. It makes your story work harder.
Once you upload case materials, here are some examples of how you can use StoryBar Coach.
Finding a Story. StoryBar helps you identify the most compelling narrative in you case facts by guiding you through core questions and matching those facts to one of multiple transformation story types. Whether a case feels purely technical, involves a client who made early mistakes, or lacks a sympathetic individual plaintiff, StoryBar surfaces the human journey underneath the legal theory and helps you frame the entire case around the most resonant story for their audience. Equally useful, it helps you identify and evaluate your opponent's possible counternarratives.
Scoring & Stress-Testing. StoryBar's Power Scoring tools iteratively evaluates narratives using four rubrics -- Form, Flight, Fit, and Foundation -- comparing draft versions side by side, generating early-stage predictions even in early discovery, and predicting jury receptiveness, settlement leverage, and judge appeal. It also helps you anticipate the most likely narrative attacks from opposing counsel and develop inoculation strategies before trial.
Document Analysis. StoryBar reads documents through a narrative lens. Attorneys can upload medical records, contracts, incident reports, expert reports, and complaints and ask StoryBar to identify the narrative gold buried inside — including where the arc is strongest, where it has gaps, and what follow-up questions or evidentiary needs the document reveals.
Theme Development. StoryBar generates and compares case themes, producing sample language for each and explaining which themes will resonate most strongly with a civil jury. It can analyze prior closing arguments to identify whether a theme was present, and helps attorneys select the framing most aligned with both the facts and the audience.
Narrative Builder. StoryBar's Narrative Builder tool produces comprehensive case narrative memos covering story arc, legal theory alignment, themes, evidence strategy, witness order rationale, and anticipated defense narratives with responses. It can be tuned for partner review, jury consultant review, or aggressive trial posture, and adapts in real time when facts change — whether a client admission contradicts the narrative, a key witness backs out, an expert is ruled inadmissible, or new evidence surfaces that strengthens the case. At every turn, it provides an immediate impact assessment, pivot options, and a prioritized action plan.
Data Visualization. StoryBar builds visual storytelling tools including side-by-side timelines contrasting what should have happened versus what did, wage gap charts, corporate structure and decision-flow diagrams, and before-and-after visuals showing a client's life, capabilities, or financial position pre- and post-injury.
Motion Practice. StoryBar rewrites fact sections of briefs using storytelling principles, develops narrative framing for summary judgment oppositions, and scores the narrative strength of motions using Arc Score and Context Score. It also helps attorneys frame motions to exclude expert testimony in ways that advance the overall narrative, and analyzes opposing motions to identify the story the other side is building — and how to counter it.
Witness Preparation. StoryBar generates detailed witness preparation outlines covering narrative role, key story moments, anticipated cross-examination attacks, and how to stay in the story under pressure. It drafts direct examination questions structured around the dramatic arc and helps attorneys prepare expert witnesses to communicate technical findings in plain-language story terms a jury can follow.
Deposition Strategy. Our Deposition Suite tools help you plan depositions around narrative goals -- identifying the story moments and admissions you need to lock in, building outlines structured around the case narrative, and analyzing transcripts after the fact to assess what the testimony contributed to the story and what gaps remain.
Appellate Work. StoryBar helps you develop the narrative arc of an appeal, identify the emotional and moral core of your argument, score the narrative strength of your statement of the case, and reframe dry procedural history as a story of injustice. It can also analyze adverse rulings to surface the narrative assumptions in the court's reasoning and identify how to challenge them on appeal.
Trial Preparation. StoryBar supports every stage of trial preparation through narrative strategy. It generates master evidence timelines organized around the story each piece of evidence tells, recommends optimal witness order based on the narrative arc, and scores opening statements on Arc Score and Context Score to identify what is landing and what is missing. It also produces complete case narrative memos suitable for senior partner review before trial.
Trial Work. StoryBar serves as a narrative command center for trial. It helps attorneys craft and refine opening statements and closing arguments, comparing multiple drafts using Arc Score and Context Score to identify which version lands most powerfully. It recommends witness order based on the narrative arc and generates direct examination questions structured around the dramatic arc. It anticipates the most damaging cross-examination attacks and develops narrative-based responses for each, while helping expert witnesses translate technical findings into plain-language story terms a jury can follow. It keeps attorneys anchored to the core case story — ensuring every witness, exhibit, and argument pulls in the same narrative direction.
Storybar Coach helps you save time, improve the quality of your narratives, better integrate your narrative throughout the case at every step, gain insights through AI-driven suggestions, enhance your overall efficiency and effectiveness. The more you use StoryBar, the better you get at harnessing the power of narrative, putting you ahead of most lawyers in your work to "tell the best story."
