The 36 Group saves four working weeks and £50,000 in murder trial preparation with Luminance AI
The 36 Group had to review over 10,000 documents — including handwritten witness statements, police notes, and court orders spanning decades — within days for a historic murder trial, while working remotely during COVID-19. Their existing CCDCS system could not support real-time collaboration or efficient search.
How it works
Common implementation structure
How this type of workflow is generally built, generalized across documented cases — not tied to any one vendor's stack. Click any stage to read what happens there. Specific products that implement these stages appear in “Tools commonly seen” below.

Outcome
The defense team saved four working weeks and £50,000 during the review and disclosure phase, and cross-examination bundles that would normally be time-consuming were compiled in minutes.
What failed first
The CCDCS platform lacked real-time collaboration and efficient search. Manual keyword searches through police files with unhelpful or cryptic filenames caused critical information to be missed.
