LexisNexis CaseMap, a litigation case analysis program, is a rare breed in
that its user base consists of virtually everyone from solos to large firms
to government agencies. What these litigation teams have in common is a need
for a central location to enter facts, issues, and evidence, and then generate
reports.
In the latest version, LexisNexis CaseMap 7.5, LexisNexis has lavished lots
of attention on the reports — the program’s public face. Reports
and ReportBooks look a lot snappier now that you can add graphics to the title
page, including your logo.
Also, a new Reports menu enables you to access all reports with one click.
From this new menu, you can also configure Page Setup and Print options, insert
a TimeMap timeline, insert a NoteMap outline, send a spreadsheet report to
Word, WordPerfect, or a Web browser, export to Excel, and launch the Summary
Judgment Report Wizard.
As for the all-important content within your reports, you can now include “By-Issue” reports
in ReportBooks. These reports display records linked to an issue (e.g., all
facts and documents associated with the breach of contract issue). You can
use the default By-Issue reports that ship with CaseMap and also build your
own custom reports.
LexisNexis has also beefed up CaseMap’s “Link Summary” technology.
As a result, you can now generate reports that show the number of documents
a party, witness, or other key participant has authored (LS: Docs Authored)
as well as the number of email messages sent (LS: Emails Authored) and received
(LS: Emails Received). These reports should make deposition preparation much
simpler. Just click the count to access all the documents or email messages.
As for getting these records into CaseMap in the first place, it’s easier
than ever thanks to an overhauled “Send-To-CaseMap” tool. Other
enhancements include live spell checking, the ability to add Facts (people,
places, documents, etc.) on the fly, tighter integration with
NoteMap, and case auto-logon, which enables you to side-step the login dialog
when you’re the only person working on a CaseMap case. Learn
