What a 1 Million Token Context Window Means for Plaintiff Attorneys
AI can now read and reason across a million tokens at once - roughly 700,000 words. That’s five copies of War and Peace processed in one go.
This is a major leap. Just over a year ago, we were stuck at 4,000 tokens. Now, AI can absorb and work with entire case files in a single pass.
Why It Matters
Litigation involves a mountain of fragmented information: medical records, wage documents, discovery responses, depo transcripts. Traditionally, reviewing all that takes hours of human time - time you don’t have.
With a million-token AI, you can load the full file - thousands of pages - and start asking questions. Summarize care. Track wage loss. Spot inconsistencies. Draft outlines. Prepare for depo. And yes, cite the page it came from.
It’s not replacing lawyers or paralegals. Think of it as a tireless assistant who doesn’t miss details and learns how youwork.
How We're Using It
At TrialBase, we’ve built tools that handle everything from summarizing medical records with source citations to aligning pay stubs and tax returns with treatment dates. Our system can also check discovery responses for completeness across multiple categories, and generate deposition outlines that reference prior testimony - all within one secure, searchable platform.
The Bottom Line
AI isn’t here to do your job. It’s here to take care of the parts that eat your time and wear you down.
In contingency work, efficiency matters. The 1 million token window gives you leverage - so you can focus on strategy, not sorting PDFs.
If you’re ready to see what that looks like in practice, we’re here.
No hype. Just tools that work.
