WEST CASE NOTEBOOK(TM) WITH LIVENOTE™ TECHNOLOGY: A NEW WAY TO KEEP EVERYTHING IMPORTANT TO YOUR CASE, ALL IN ONE PLACE
By Kendra Mancusi, LiveNote
As anyone involved with litigation knows, cases are rarely neat, tidy affairs that proceed in a linear fashion. A deposition may be taken months before you need the evidence. Team members shift. Paper piles up, documents grow exponentially. Yet you can't afford to miss a key document. Or to overlook a pivotal fact. Or forget about a key on-point case. Or pass over a potential witness who could have led you to new insights. Use West Case Notebook to organize, manage, and analyze your case and be confident you've missed nothing.
West Case Notebook is an electronic case file that enables you to centralize the key portions of your case file: documents, pleadings, transcripts, research, key facts, and characters. By keeping your important case materials in West Case Notebook, you will have enhanced abilities to search, annotate, copy, summarize, print, and share your case data. What's more, a robust Microsoft® SQL database provides scalable performance for your Case Notebook.
