Case Analysis
One Stop for Critical
Case Knowledge
CaseMap® makes it easy to organize, evaluate and explore
the facts, the cast of characters, and the issues in a case,
and is designed for use on all types of cases and by all
types of litigators and investigators.
CaseMap is easy to learn and use, offering a consistent
design, ease-of-use features, and a pre-built example case.
Additionally, CaseMap software integrates with numerous
other litigation support and electronic discovery tools,
including Adobe® Acrobat®, Applied Discovery®, Binder,
Concordance™, JFS Litigator’s Notebook, KPMG’s Discovery
Radar, LiveNote and Sanction. One or more of the software
products you already use probably links seamlessly with
CaseMap, allowing you to create a practical and polished
work product.
Critical Case Knowledge
Under Your Thumb
CaseMap case files include spreadsheets for organizing
information about facts, documents, cast of characters,
issues, case law and more. As depicted above, some of the
default columns for the Fact spreadsheet are Date & Time,
Fact, Source(s), Disputed Status and Linked Issues.
CaseMap is a central repository for critical case knowledge.
Use it to organize information about the facts, documents,
cast of characters, issues and law in every case. Use it to
standardize the case-analysis process and to maximize the
value of your staff. Enter information directly in CaseMap
spreadsheets or employ the “Send-to-CaseMap” feature to
cull critical passages directly from documents and transcripts.
Over 15 software products offer this special CaseMap
integration that makes it easier for you to analyze a case.

Case Analysis
Powerful Case Analysis With the
Click of a Mouse
CaseMap makes it easy to explore critical case knowledge.
Clients tell us that CaseMap greatly enhances their ability
to understand cases. They report that the case ownership
CaseMap provides gives them leverage at such critical
events as depositions, hearings, settlement conferences,
mediations and trials.
Every CaseMap spreadsheet can be sorted, filtered and
tagged with a mouse click. A mouse click sends facts
from CaseMap to our TimeMap® tool to instantly create
timeline visualizations.
CaseMap software also lets you evaluate the relationships
between different types of case information. For example,
easily identify the facts and case law that support your
position on a particular issue.
The CaseMap analytical tools make it easy to focus on information
of interest. For example, the case law spreadsheet shown above
has been filtered to the three cases relevant to a specific issue.
The graphic below illustrates how CaseMap lets you dissect
your Fact Chronology. Similar analysis can be performed
on the document, cast of characters, case law and issue
spreadsheets.

CaseMap generates polished work product—work product

spreadsheet, with an automatic title page. The built-in
CaseMap PDF Writer makes it as easy to create PDF reports
