Multi-faceted tool for litigators
Article Abstract:
Gigatron Software's TrialBook 32 offers five litigation support tools: Case Explorer, Transcript Viewer, Intelligent Notepad, Paralegal Reporting and Exhibit Manager. Users set up a case and then access the other tools from the Case Explorer screen. Folders for cases and clients are also set up in this screen. Typical cases will include a client's folder with subfolders for the case names, exhibits, documents and transcripts. An expandable tree hierarchy can be developed to focus on the case. The Transcript View views the court reporter's real-time transcription of a hearing or deposition. The Exhibit Manager allows the exhibits to be annotated in a variety of ways, including voice notation. The list price for TrailBook 32 is $975, but it is available for a limited time at $525.

CaseMap: replace your legal pad
Article Abstract:
CaseSoft's $495 CaseMap 2.0 is a highly useful application for litigation support. CaseMap offers a flexible database that enables lawyers to enter facts, issues, questions and sources, then allows multiple queries and the comparison of relationships between the information. Links are created between each fact and its source. Lists, or reports, can be created and viewed by sorting the data by specified criteria. The data can also be viewed graphically. CaseMap is not limited to litigation and can be helpful in negotiating contracts or in other situations where relationships between facts are important. The software is easy to learn to use, but may require some time to learn to implement it wisely.
