Early Case Assessment Consulting

Our expert consultants will work with your trial team and Litigation Support specialist to complete a full preparatory Early Case Assessment or Strategic Report Sizing on a new or existing case. We will obtain the complaint, answer and other existing key paperwork. Our experts will study the background material, conduct CourtLink®, LexisNexis® Total Litigator and lexis.com® research and set expectations. Once the preliminary assessment is complete, we will work with the trial team to set the agenda and to review the case and research results.

At this point your consultant acts as moderator guiding the trial team. Your consultant will be a scribe quickly organizing material in CaseMap, and as an educator showing your team how to take the ball forward utilizing Total Litigator’s Practice Solutions. By the time the session ends, we’ll have worked with your trial team to create a detailed cast of characters, a multi-level issue outline and an initial fact chronology. The trial team will also have created a Case Summary ReportBook or other work product for their client. And they’ll have a plan in place for additional analysis. Fees are based on the number of individuals and length of training.

Case Analysis Jumpstart—If you need help getting a new case jumpstarted or an existing one organized in CaseMap, we can accommodate your needs in a one-day session that emulates the one-on-one trial team work we do in the Early Case Assessment Consulting. Our consultant will work with you to customize a day that meets your needs. Fees are based on the number of individuals and length of training.

Training at Your Firm—One of our trainers can visit your offices to provide in-person training for groups of end-users. In a day of training, we can conduct a mixture of both basic and advanced sessions. Fees are based on type of training and number of participants, please contact caseanalysisconsulting@lexisnexis.com for more information.
