Did you know? The American Association for Paralegal Education (AAfPE) recently announced that it endorses LexisNexis® Total Litigator—a single online destination offering legal professionals the solutions they need to seamlessly manage cases through each step of the litigation process.

“Because Total Litigator offers paralegals a single, integrated place to access and use a variety of litigation support capabilities needed to do their jobs,” said Professor Thomas Goldman, chair of the Technology Task Force of AAfPE. “We believe it’s an essential skill to include in today’s paralegal education.”

The announcement by AAfPE follows industry accolades from the National Institute for Trial Advocacy  (NITA®) and the Defense Research Institute (DRI™).

The Total Litigator platform offers legal professionals access to e-discovery and electronic filing, case analysis and assessment solutions. Featuring software and online services such as CaseMap, Concordance®, lexis.com, File & Serve and more, Total Litigator integrates access to these applications so that moving data, conducting research and managing cases becomes easier, more efficient and—ultimately—more strategic.

Why Not Take A Class From An Award-Winning Team?

We’re pleased to announce the Case Analysis Consulting Group won the Law Technology News—2007 Technology Award for Litigation Support Consultant. Thanks to all of you who voted for us!

We aren’t resting on our laurels. We’re holding classes around the country and via Webinar. We’re still coming to your office to train and/or consult specifically about your cases.

In March and April we will be holding classes in Atlanta, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Here is a link to our class calendar covering our full range of training opportunities—online and on the road:

More exciting news! Last year we developed a new Webinar class specifically for paralegals. The CaseMap Paralegal Certification focuses specifically on the paralegals role in getting the most out of CaseMap. The big news is, this year we are offering the class around the country instead of just via Webinar.

Upcoming CaseMap Paralegal Certification Classes:

Why not call today and sign up for personalized, hands-on training? Hurry, seating is limited. Please contact us at caseanalysisconsulting@lexisnexis.com or 904.273.5000.

Also this year we will be offering the CaseMap 201 class. It is similar to the Paralegal Certification class but is focused more for all end users. You can be just starting out or using the program for a while. It will help take you from an end user to a power user.

Don’t forget we offer all three of these classes plus two more via Webinar. Just in case you can’t make it to a classroom, you can still join us for class. We offer Becoming a CaseMap Power User and Trainer Certification classes via Webinar several times throughout the year.

Upcoming CaseMap Training Webinars:

For litigation support, IT and trainers, we continue to offer the two-day Support Certification class around the country. We will be in:

We will show you what you need to know to support CaseMap end users in your office. Be sure to sign up early.

No time or too busy to attend classes?
No problem. We can come to you!
We can offer these classes or custom agendas at your office as well. Many firms have had us come to their office to conduct training, help them get a specific case up and running or assist with an existing case. Wouldn’t you enjoy having a CaseMap expert help you set up or review your case file? Since you are working specifically on a case, all learning gained from this real-life application of knowledge could be happening during billable hours.

If the entire case team is in this session you will find everyone has a clear picture of how your team is going to use CaseMap. Often teams work out details as a group and get moving forward much more rapidly than had they dived in without getting organized first. Ok, some of you are in the middle of it—the case. You need some help getting organized and moving forward now. Not to worry, we do that too! Call your account representative or the award-winning Case Analysis Consulting Group to discuss your specific needs and goals.

You can get more information about on-site assistance or sign up for any of our classes by calling 904.273.5000 extension 228, or email us at caseanalysisconsulting@lexisnexis.com.
