Dennis Kennedy Reviews CaseMap 7

Recently the following review for CaseMap 7 appeared in TechnoLawyer, in case you didn’t have the opportunity to read it we wanted to share it with you here. Dennis Kennedy (dmk@denniskennedy.com) is a computer lawyer and legal technology consultant based in St. Louis, Missouri. His highly regarded Web site at www.denniskennedy.com collects many of his articles and is the home of his blog.

Litigate. Integrate. And Disintegrate the Competition.
By Dennis Kennedy

Litigators today face a bewildering set of choices among hundreds of litigation software packages and electronic discovery tools. At the very least, you want programs that link to and work well with your other programs. Even better, you’d like to find a home base, starting point, or “dashboard” for all of your litigation work.

LexisNexis CaseMap has released the newest version of CaseMap, its popular case analysis tool. CaseMap 7 focuses on integration and clearly embraces the concept of a litigation dashboard.

Since its introduction, CaseMap has made it easy for litigators, paralegals, and even expert witnesses to organize, analyze and take control of their cases. Each new version has added new features attuned to the needs of litigation teams, and the new CaseMap 7 continues that tradition. Both new users and existing users will find much to recommend in CaseMap 7.

Not surprisingly, CaseMap 7 features tighter integration with the growing collection of litigation tools offered by LexisNexis, especially LexisNexis Total Litigator. This particular integration enables you to work with the facts in your case in new, helpful ways.

For example, you can select a fact like a company name in CaseMap and send it to Total Litigator to find background information, similar cases, and relevant business intelligence about opposing counsel or the judge handling your case. Equally helpful, right-click a case citation to get a copy of the case or Shepardize® it. For those who use CourtLink, CaseMap 7 makes it easy to work with pleadings and docket information. CaseMap 7 also offers an integrated menu that enables you to use other LexisNexis litigation tools.

CaseMap 7 doesn’t just integrate with LexisNexis products. It has also taken its Adobe® Acrobat® integration even further. Enhancements in Adobe Acrobat 8 are compatible with CaseMap 7. For example, the CaseMap Acrobat Plug-in PLUS facilitates the use of Acrobat 8’s new Bates Stamps tool.

Litigators can’t get enough of Bates stamping so CaseMap 7 features improvements to its own PDF Bates stamping capabilities with a new set of power tools, including analysis, finding and filtering, and synchronization. The Bates Analyzer looks at your Bates numbers and checks for inconsistencies, duplicates and anomalies. The Bates Find and Filter utility helps you find and view only the documents you need. The Bates End/Pages Synchronization tool can adjust your Bates numbers during the production process, keeping everything synchronized.

The CaseMap “Send to” feature has become a popular way to get information to and from other litigation programs. In CaseMap 7, this tool has become more powerful with a bulk send capability, complete with a wizard to help you define what you want to send.

You can download a free 30-day trial version of CaseMap 7 at and learn What’s New in CaseMap 7 at any time. Of course, we would be delighted to give you a personal tour—just contact your LexisNexis CaseMap representative or email us at tour@casesoft.com.

As always, if you are a current client please do not download CaseMap 7 without first consulting your Litigation Support specialist and please make sure you read all the critical warnings.
