Practical brief for attorneys, paralegals, and business teams.
Emails, invoices, schedules, and witness accounts may describe the same event differently. A timeline helps identify agreements, gaps, and conflicts without prematurely deciding which source is correct.
A focused approach
For each event, record the source, date shown, relevant time zone, and whether the date reflects the event itself or the creation of a record. Keep an original copy separate from working notes.
Points to address
- Label estimated dates
- Link every entry to its source
- Track conflicting accounts side by side
What the findings mean
The timeline is a working tool, not a substitute for the underlying material. Update it as new information arrives and avoid silently replacing an earlier version of an account.
