If you are helping attorneys in your firm analyze the elements of a case, it’s worth finding out whether CaseMap® case analysis software from LexisNexis® is available to you. Used in 97 of the AmLaw Top 100 law firms, CaseMap is standardized by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Attorneys Offices.
CaseMap offers robust litigation support—from day one through mediation or trial. You can more easily organize, evaluate and explore the facts, the cast of characters and issues in a case with CaseMap. It’s designed for use on all types of cases and by all types of litigators and investigators.
CaseMap is easy to learn and provides a pre-built example case. Open the example case, try the various buttons, open some windows and explore. Evaluate a few of the facts. Run Instant Searches by right-clicking spreadsheet cells. If you accidentally delete something you want to retain in the case, don’t worry—just close the case, click Refresh Example, and re-open it—brand new!
Powerful Tools and Integration
CaseMap enables you to identify and link facts, legal issues and parties involved in each case and store them in specialized relational spreadsheets for ready access and analysis. It’s easier to organize evidence with features like bulk importing of e-mail, automated capture of intake interview data and “Send to CaseMap” integration with Concordance® litigation management software, Adobe® Acrobat®, Hummingbird®, lexis.com®, LiveNote™, Ringtail Legal™, Summation® LG, LexisNexis® Total Litigator, TextMap® deposition transcript management software and a range of other applications.
New DocPreviewerTM Review Tool
Starting in early September 2008, your law firm will have the option of using the new DocPreviewer review tool from LexisNexis® along with the firm’s CaseMap 8 subscription. Law schools also have the option of providing a three-year trial version of CaseMap to students. If CaseMap 8 is available at your school, DocPreviewer will be included. Talk to your Law School Representative for more information.
DocPreviewer can help litigators cost-effectively handle e-mail discovery review in small cases. It enables attorneys to review batches of e-mails in minutes, automatically populate key players into a CaseMap cast of characters, link e-mail PDFs to those characters and more.

CaseMap MSJ Statement of Fact Creator: Simplify preparation of a motion for summary judgment by quickly producing a list of all undisputed facts linked to case issues.
Automatic Bates stamping of source documents: Use this feature to ensure the integrity and accessibility of your original documents and images.
Automatic creation of fact chronologies: Show how key case facts and events emerged over time. And by exporting this information to TimeMap® timeline software, you can create compelling graphic displays of case chronology.
