BASIC PRINCIPLES OF AUTOMATED LITIGATION SUPPORT

 

ALS Primer - Definitions of automated litigation support (ALS) are almost as plentiful as the number of ALS products and include everything from simple word processing indices of exhibits to multimedia presentation systems. For years, law firms and litigation teams maintained databases with multiple personnel manually indexing, copying, and cross-referencing data.

Now, however, the computer allows litigators to maintain electronic files of documents which can organize, index, search and retrieve data much faster than even the most efficiently organized manual system. ALS software is a necessity in the modern law firm because it saves time, saves money, provides better information and is appropriate for ALL case types and sizes.

This Primer is designed to help you better understand ALS concepts and devise the best way to utilize them in your practice.

Pike and Fisher - Perhaps no development since the enactment of a federal procedural code has transformed the practice of litigation more than the electronic storage of business records and correspondence. Pike & Fischer has become a leading source of primary material and expert commentary and insight in this volatile and often risky business.
