 Document
Repository
We can provide a secure repository
for documents, materials, and evidence in a case, taking in, logging, and indexing
all items in the matter.

Isolating
Relevant Information
Incoming documents, materials,
and evidence from all sources are assigned sequential control numbers. Each item
is reviewed to determine its relevance to the case, and the relevant items are sorted
into chronological order.

Organization
of Documents
This chronology forms an essential
tool that contains all the potential documentary evidence in the case. By creating
organization out of chaos, we see a clean, crisp time-line of events emerge. Pieces
of the puzzle come together, crucial facts are highlighted, and we obtain a clear
picture of the circumstances in the case.

Database
Management
We use specialized software
to input, search, and control the relevant documents. Each document is analyzed,
and objective data such as date, control numbers, document title, author, and recipient
is entered into the database. Each database is designed to meet the criteria for
a specific matter. Throughout the case, the database is updated and allows us to
easily access certain documents or specific categories of documents as needed and
defined. Transcripts are maintained in the case database and cross-referenced with
relevant documents. Searches may be performed across all transcripts for specific
issues and subjects. |
